Who We Are?
AllProperty Home Inspections was created to provide homeowners and buyers in Cascais and the greater Lisbon area with a trustworthy, detail-focused, and highly professional inspection service. Our work is built on technical understanding, practical experience, and a genuine passion for identifying faults, hidden issues, and the subtle signs that reveal how a property has been built and how it behaves over time.
Founded by Jeff Zive, a South African-born inspection specialist, AllProperty is guided by many years of hands-on involvement in building diagnostics, structural behaviour, waterproofing analysis, and property condition assessments. Before moving to Portugal in 2002, Jeff owned and operated a construction and waterproofing company in Cape Town — a city known for exceptionally high building standards. Working in an environment with strong coastal winds, changing weather, and humidity levels similar to Cascais helped develop an acute understanding of how materials respond to climate, how moisture moves through a structure, and how small defects can turn into costly problems if not identified early.
After relocating to Portugal, Jeff developed a deep understanding of the unique challenges found in Portuguese homes, from coastal conditions in Cascais to common moisture concerns, insulation issues, and ageing infrastructure. His passion for fault-finding, building behaviour, and understanding long-term construction performance is what drives AllProperty’s commitment to quality.
At AllProperty, our mission is simple: to deliver clear, honest, and practical assessments that help clients make confident decisions about their homes. We believe in transparency, professionalism, and careful attention to detail from the initial appointment to the final report.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
COMPLETE HOME INSPECTION SERVICES
​
QUESTION: What does a complete home inspection include?
ANSWER: A full home inspection covers the property’s structure, roof, electrical system, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, exterior, interior, moisture issues, safety concerns, and general condition — giving you a clear overview of the home before buying or selling.
QUESTION: How long does a full home inspection take?
ANSWER: Most complete inspections take between 2 and 3 hours, depending on the size, condition, and complexity of the property.
QUESTION: Do you inspect apartments as well as houses?
ANSWER: Yes. We inspect houses, villas, townhouses, and apartments, including all accessible interior and exterior areas.
QUESTION: Will I receive a written report?
ANSWER: Yes. Every inspection includes a detailed digital report with photos, thermal images (if needed), notes on defects, and recommended next steps.
QUESTION: Do you use thermal imaging during inspections?
ANSWER: Yes. Thermal imaging is used to identify hidden moisture, insulation gaps, electrical hotspots, and temperature anomalies that may not be visible to the naked eye.
QUESTION: Should I attend the inspection?
ANSWER: It’s not required, but highly recommended. Being present allows you to ask questions and understand the findings directly.
QUESTION: Can a home inspection identify all problems?
ANSWER: No inspection can detect every issue, especially hidden or inaccessible defects, but a professional inspection will identify the major risks, visible problems, and potential concerns.
QUESTION: Do you move furniture or open sealed areas?
ANSWER: No. Inspections are non-invasive, meaning we do not move heavy furniture, remove fixtures, open walls, or disturb finishes.
QUESTION: How soon will I get the report?
ANSWER: Reports are usually delivered same day or within 24 hours, depending on the amount of data collected.
QUESTION: Can you inspect before I make an offer?
ANSWER: Yes, we offer pre-offer inspections to help buyers understand the property’s condition before committing.
