Pre-Sale Inspection
Fix the right issues. Skip the rest. List with confidence.
Sell Smarter, Not Harder
Buying, not selling? See our pre-purchase inspection instead.
You're getting ready to sell. Should you fix that stain on the wall? Replace the scratched countertop? Repaint the bedroom?
Most sellers guess. They either overspend on repairs that don't affect price or ignore problems that kill buyer interest. Both mistakes cost money.
The ROI Question
Not every repair pays back. Replacing worn cabinet handles costs ฿1,500 and makes the kitchen look maintained. Replacing perfectly functional countertops costs ฿62,000 and buyers won't pay extra for them.
Our pre-sale inspection tells you what matters. We identify issues buyers will actually negotiate on versus cosmetic problems they'll ignore.
What Buyers Notice First
Water damage. Crack patterns. Non-functioning fixtures. Dated electrical panels. Poor maintenance signals.
Buyers walk through your unit looking for reasons to lowball. They see a ceiling stain and start calculating. "If the ceiling has water damage, what else is broken? Better offer 10% less to cover unknowns."
Fix that stain before listing? It costs ฿4,650. The buyer doesn't deduct ฿15,500,000. Simple math.
Our Assessment Process
We inspect like a buyer would, but with professional tools and experience. We check structural elements, systems, finishes, and maintenance indicators.
Then we categorize findings into three tiers:
Fix before listing: Issues that trigger buyer negotiations or inspection objections. These typically return 3-5x their repair cost in sale price or negotiation power.
Consider fixing: Problems that improve presentation but won't affect most buyers' offers. Fix these if budget allows, skip if funds are tight.
Disclose but don't fix: Minor age-related wear that's normal for your unit's age. Fixing these wastes money because buyers expect them.
Market-Ready Certification
Once you've addressed the critical items, we return for verification. You get a Market-Ready Certificate showing buyers your unit has been professionally inspected and maintained.
This matters in Bangkok's condo market. Buyers are skeptical. Too many sellers hide problems. A third-party certification reduces buyer anxiety and can shorten negotiation time.
What We Check
Structural condition: Wall and ceiling cracks. Foundation or settling issues. Balcony integrity.
Water systems: Leak history. Drainage function. Pressure issues. Visible pipe condition.
Electrical systems: Panel capacity. Outlet function. Grounding status. Safety issues.
HVAC performance: Air conditioning efficiency. Unusual noises. Temperature consistency.
Finishes and fixtures: Tile condition. Paint quality. Cabinet function. Hardware status.
Maintenance indicators: Signs of deferred maintenance. Water damage history. Poor prior repairs.

Real Example
Client was selling a 15-year-old condo in Thonglor. Considered remodeling the bathroom for ฿248,000. We inspected and found the bathroom was fine for the property's age bracket, but the kitchen faucet leaked and the living room AC was undercooling.
Total repair cost: ฿14,000. Buyer still negotiated, but only down 2% versus the typical 5-7% for units with visible issues. Client saved ฿234,000 by not remodeling and still got a reasonable price.
Timing Your Inspection
Schedule this 4-6 weeks before listing. That gives you time to fix priority items without delaying your market entry.
Wait until after listing? You're negotiating repairs under time pressure. Buyers use inspection findings to demand price cuts or credits. You lose leverage.
Common Questions
Should I share this report with buyers? No. This report is for your strategic planning. Buyers get their own inspection after they make an offer.
What if buyers find different issues later? They might. But if you've fixed the obvious problems, their inspection should be relatively clean. That reduces their negotiation power.
Is this the same as a buyer's inspection? Similar process, different purpose. We're helping you prepare, not helping buyers negotiate against you.
Do I have to fix everything you find? No. We tell you what's worth fixing based on market impact. You decide what fits your budget and timeline.
