Legal Inspection of Property in Giza 2025

A legal inspection is an essential step before buying any property. It ensures the property’s legal safety and its freedom from any legal problems that may impede your ownership or cause you future problems. This inspection covers several aspects, including:

• Verifying the seller’s ownership of the property: You must verify the validity of ownership documents and their freedom from any mortgages, seizures, or legal disputes. [Image: Example of an ownership document]

• Examining the real estate map: The real estate map is an official document showing the boundaries and specifications of the property. You must verify that the real estate map matches reality.

• Ensuring completion of fees and taxes: You must verify payment of all fees and taxes due on the property to ensure it is free from any financial obligations.

• Examining required licenses: In the case of properties under construction or renovation, you must ensure that they have obtained all necessary licenses from the competent authorities.

Structural Inspection of Property in Giza 2025

Structural inspection is one of the most important property inspection procedures before purchase, especially in a crowded area like Giza. This inspection aims to ensure the property’s structural safety and its freedom from any structural defects or poor finishes that may cause future problems. This includes:

• Examining the structural framework: Ensuring the safety of the walls, columns, foundations, and roof, and their freedom from any cracks or fissures. [Image: Technician inspecting walls]

Dealing with a Real Estate Broker in Giza

A real estate broker can help in the property buying process, but you must choose a reliable and professional broker. You must verify the broker’s record and reputation before contracting with him. You must also review the contract carefully before signing it, and ensure that it contains all necessary clauses to protect your rights.

Cost and Time Required for Property Inspection

The cost of property inspection varies depending on the size of the property and the complexity of the inspection. Legal inspection requires less time than structural inspection. Sufficient time should be allocated to each type of inspection to ensure accuracy of results.

Practical Examples and Case Studies

In a study conducted by Afaq Al-Aqarat Academy on 100 property purchase transactions in Giza, it was found that 30% of properties that did not undergo thorough inspection faced legal or structural problems after purchase, costing their owners exorbitant amounts. Therefore, thorough inspection is necessary to avoid such problems.

Example: Mr. Ahmed faced legal problems with a property he bought in Giza because he did not conduct a thorough legal inspection before purchase, which led to losing a lot of money, time and effort.

These figures are estimates only and may vary depending on the size of the property and the complexity of the inspection.
