More
A complete home inspection gives you a clear understanding of a property’s true condition. We carefully assess every major system, structure, and hidden area to identify issues early and help you make confident decisions. Our inspection covers all essential components that affect safety, moisture control, and long-term durability.
Why Choose Us?
Comprehensive, High-Precision Inspections
We use professional-grade equipment including drones, thermal imaging, moisture meters, gas detectors, endoscopes, stud, pipe and metal scanners, and precision measurement tools. This allows us to investigate areas that may not be apparent during a normal property viewing.
​​
Independent & Conflict-Free
We provide inspections and diagnostics — not repairs. Because we do not carry out remedial work, our findings are based solely on what we observe and measure during the inspection.
​
Clear, Unbiased, Data-Driven Reporting
Your report records what we find, supported by photographs, thermal images where applicable, moisture readings and clear explanations. Where an issue needs further investigation, we explain what has been identified and what type of specialist may be required.
​
Fast Turnaround & Reliable Communication
We understand that property decisions often have deadlines. We aim to keep communication straightforward, arrive as scheduled and deliver reports promptly, so you can move forward with the information you need.
​
Expertise in Damp, Moisture & Leak Detection
Moisture problems are among the most common concerns in Portuguese properties. We use moisture measurement, thermal imaging and other diagnostic methods to investigate damp patterns, possible leak sources and areas of moisture intrusion.
​
Local Knowledge of Cascais & Surrounding Areas
Our experience with properties in Cascais and the surrounding areas helps us recognise local construction characteristics, environmental conditions and defects commonly found in the region.
​
Professional, Trustworthy Service
From the initial enquiry to the final report, our approach is straightforward and professional. We explain our findings clearly, avoid unnecessary recommendations and give you the information you need to decide what to do next.

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 draws on years of hands-on experience 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.
