Have There Been Any Renovations Since 2016, & Can I Review Records?

Since the house was completed in 2016, it's an established property, so the current condition is best judged through renovation history and a fresh inspection. Request a written record of any renovations or major repairs since 2016, with dates, contractor names and any warranties. Compare that with the existing photo history and what you see during a viewing. Consider hiring a local, independent property inspector familiar with tropical villas to check structure, roof condition, damp risks, plumbing and electrical systems, pool equipment, outdoor areas, garden and pond status, and the kitchen appliances and included features. Verify that the two kitchens, outdoor cooking facilities and furnishings listed as included are functioning and match the inventory you receive. If renovations exist, confirm permits and compliance with local rules; an inspector can flag safety or maintenance issues and help you understand any ongoing costs. Finally, request an up-to-date condition report from the owner or agent to accompany the viewing.
