Stories and reviews from our clients

  • I did the first apartment snagging with my uncle, but he was not available for the second appointment, so I turned to professionals. Thank goodness! We not only confirmed my uncle's defects, but found dozens of new problems!

  • Marek Augustyniak
    Energy certificate

    I am very happy with the energy certificate prepared by Pewny Lokal. Thanks to their help I do not have to fear fines for a missing certificate, and the price is very fair. I especially appreciate that I could provide all the required details myself and that the form was very clear.

  • Urszula Murawska
    House snagging from the developer

    The Pewny Lokal engineer showed excellent judgement and, above all, knowledge of the regulations and standards. The developer's representative disputed every defect, and it is only thanks to the engineer's firmness that I received what I paid for – without defects and mistakes.

  • Kamil Widz
    Thermal imaging survey

    In winter one room in the house was clearly colder than the others. We thought it was because of the new windows. The Pewny Lokal engineer found the problem quickly with a thermal camera. The renovation in that room was defective and thermal bridges had formed.

  • Would you like to discuss our offer? We will call you free of charge in a few minutes.
  • Filip Ostrowski
    Fit-out work inspection

    Besides a few smaller defects, engineer Karol found a leaking water pipe with thermal imaging. A pipe had been damaged when the Geberit was installed. I do not even want to think about what a repair on our own would have cost us.

  • Marek Dziadul
    Legal review on the primary market

    I bought an apartment in a renovated tenement in Łódź. I was surprised that the developer completely ignored the developer act: preliminary contracts instead of developer contracts, exclusion of warranty for hidden defects, no prospectus and no finishing standard. Thanks to Mr Piotr from Pewny Lokal for the help.

  • Beata Adamska
    Dispute with the developer

    The developer wanted to terminate the contract because I did not want to pay more than agreed. He sent a termination letter. Out of concern I turned to a lawyer, who reassured me and took over everything. The matter took time, but ended well, because ownership was transferred to me by the court.

  • Magda Komor
    Thermal camera survey

    The Pewny Lokal engineer discovered a leaking heating pipe with a thermal camera. The leak was small, but the dripping would later have damaged the house badly. Thanks to this survey the developer covered the repair costs, because on the advice of Pewny Lokal lawyers I used the warranty.

  • Dagmara Mazurek
    Apartment audit on the secondary market

    The Pewny Lokal engineer's report showed many defects and technical errors. That gave me a strong argument in the price negotiation and I saved PLN 40,000!

  • Kamil Jakubowski
    Hausaudit on the secondary market

    When I received the thermal imaging results, it turned out that practically all windows had to be thoroughly sealed or even replaced. In addition the ceiling was affected by mould. Sealing, window replacement and mould treatment following Pewny Lokal's guidance cost about PLN 25,000.

  • Ilona Szulc
    Fit-out company check

    I commissioned Pewny Lokal to inspect the work of my fit-out company – I had a maisonette finished. There were dozens of defects, and the company had to spend another week making them good. The price was absolutely worth the service.

  • Sławomir Kalinowski
    Second snagging

    We used the first and second snagging with Pewny Lokal engineers. The developer said all defects from the first snagging had been fixed and we could collect the keys. In the end he had not removed a single defect and probably hoped we would come without support.

  • Wiktoria Talaga
    Plot audit

    Before buying the plot we ordered a legal plot audit. The report showed wind turbines nearby and a forestry designation. The lawyer explained that without a local plan no redesignation was possible. Thanks to the analysis we dropped the purchase and chose another region.

  • Would you like to discuss our offer? We will call you free of charge in a few minutes.
  • Maja Bojanowska
    Fit-out company inspection

    Pewny Lokal helped me resolve the conflict with the contractor. The inspector found many defects and backed them up with expertise and arguments. The report helped me put pressure on the company. They gave in and waived the final instalment (PLN 22,000).

  • Hubert Pawlak
    Apartment snagging from the developer

    A professional apartment snagging is very useful, but the thermal imaging option is incredible! In my apartment rising damp appeared because of poorly insulated foundations.

  • Monika Baran
    Energy certificate

    Als an investor who, with my husband, rents out a dozen apartments (mainly in Łódź), I would like to praise Pewny Lokal for professionalism, speed and fair prices for the energy certificate. Everything went quickly and smoothly, the customer service was excellent. We are very happy and at ease that we do not face fines for a missing certificate.

  • Dariusz Witkowski
    Developer contract review

    As this was my first flip, I had Pewny Lokal review the contract before signing. They found clauses that would make selling an assignment much harder and could stop me selling the apartment for years.

  • Paweł Witkowski
    Apartment audit on the secondary market

    I bought an apartment in the centre of Toruń. The seller stated 117 m², the measurement showed 12 m² less! Thanks to Pewny Lokal we were able to lower the price and offset the obvious error.

  • Marlena Sokołowska
    House audit on the secondary market

    When buying the house I was worried about the electrical installation. The seller assured me it had been modernised. The audit showed it was old and would not cope with extra appliances. The seller also wanted the draft contract to exclude all liability for defects.

  • Daniel Mankiewicz
    Apartment snagging from the developer

    The apartment inspection went smoothly and professionally. During snagging the engineer prepared a report with the defects found and photos, so that at the second snagging we could check whether the developer had fixed everything without looking for individual scratches on the window.

  • Would you like to discuss our offer? We will call you free of charge in a few minutes.
  • Iwona Garczyńska
    Valuation report

    I wanted to sell an inherited apartment but did not know the real value. For a valuation report I turned to Pewny Lokal valuers. I sent the documents, the valuer inspected the property and two days later I had the report by email.

Congratulations on your decision! Remember: if you are buying a finished house from a developer, it is very important that you:

  1. review the contract terms carefully – you are probably signing a Preliminary contract and not a developer contract. That is an important difference!
  2. check the developer and investment security – the house market is less regulated than the apartment market!
  3. have a right to developer snagging and the technical knowledge of how to inspect the property. This is especially important for houses!

A property audit is more than just level floors and safe installations.

How do you inspect a property?

Property inspection

Floor area
During an inspection of an apartment or house on the secondary market our engineers check the floor area – the actual area is often smaller than in the listing or the land register. In a developer contract review we tell you whether the developer used the correct measurement standard and who pays the difference if planned and actual area differ.
Condition of the apartment
On the secondary market we assess the technical condition of the apartment or house. We check the installations and estimate renovation costs. On the primary market we check compliance with building regulations, the finishing standard from the developer contract, and defects. With a thermal camera we find invisible thermal bridges, damp stains and moisture.
Condition of the building
During a technical secondary-market inspection we assess the building and common areas (e.g. staircases, cellars). We carry out comprehensive thermal imaging surveys with high-quality FLIR cameras. On the primary market we also check common areas and outdoor facilities (including compliance with the design documentation and the standard).
Neighbourhood
Location can strongly affect the property price. Through our legal audits on the secondary market you learn, for example, what share of apartments is municipal – this is in the land register. We also check local air quality and crime. In plot audits we check whether the plot is in a protection zone and what houses may be built there. In a developer contract we check whether disruptive projects are planned nearby (e.g. a cemetery or a sewage plant).

Review of formal issues

Ownership
On the secondary market our lawyers tell you which rights you are acquiring (e.g. cellar and garage). Our lawyers also help you sign a secure contract (developer contract and secondary-market contracts) so that the buyer acquires 100% of the rights to the property.
Mortgages
Many apartments are mortgaged, and properties can carry other claims – on both the primary and secondary market. On the secondary market a housing-association mortgage, reprivatisation claims or easements can come as a surprise. We help you secure these risks. On the primary market we show you how to prevent the developer's mortgage from transferring onto the apartment in the developer contract.
Credibility of the seller
Is the seller really the owner? How does the developer protect buyers against insolvency? Our legal reports answer both. On the secondary market we check (including from complete land registers) whether the seller holds all rights. On the primary market we tell you whether the financing is secure and whether the developer's track record points to a timely handover.
Sale contract
The notarial deed can hide unfavourable clauses, such as excessive contractual penalties or exclusion of warranty. Our law firm reviews the developer contract in full and helps you sign a secure secondary-market contract (preliminary, sale or ownership transfer contract).

Review of transaction costs

Price
The price can always be negotiated – on both the primary and secondary market. Buyers often use our audit findings to lower the price. Technical defects or high estimated renovation costs often make the seller or developer give way.
Transaction fees
They can be very high. From our legal reports you learn, for example, whether the developer wants to shift notary fees onto you unlawfully. For secondary-market contracts we tell you whether the notary fee is excessive.
Running costs
Before buying it is worth checking the rent or conversion fees for perpetual usufruct. We can spot excessive amounts in land registers or the information prospectus. During a technical inspection/snagging we can use a thermal camera to uncover high insulation costs.
Mortgage loan
Banks also make lending dependent on the legal and technical condition. On both markets we show legal defects that make a loan harder. We also help review the mortgage contract – as a specialised law firm we have extensive experience with this.

You save money

Thanks to apartment snagging you pass the cost of defect removal onto the developer or get a lower price on the secondary market. A legal audit helps avoid later costs (e.g. a mortgage).

You save time

Knowledge of material technical or legal defects lets you walk away from a risky purchase in time and speed up safe transactions.
