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 2022, 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.
