Your eyes on the ground in Portugal
Found a rental you can’t visit? We send a local verifier to check it and share photos, videos and a clear report—before you send the deposit.
From €70One visit. Evidence you can come back to.
One-bedroom apartment
Moisture marks by the bedroom window.
The listing is only half the picture
The damp patch outside the frame. The furniture that’s no longer there. The busy road below the bedroom. Get a closer look before making a decision.
We document what we can see. You decide what comes next.
A little local help
Share the listing, address and anything you’re concerned about.
Once access and availability are confirmed, a local verifier follows our checklist.
Review the photos, videos and observations in your digital report.
The owner or agent needs to allow access. We confirm the arrangements with you first.
Beyond the listing photos
A consistent checklist, with room for your own questions.
A visual, observational visit—not a structural survey, legal assessment or guarantee against fraud.
Less guesswork. More evidence.
A report you can read, share and revisit. Clear observations, including the things worth asking the landlord about.
Fictional property and findings. Your report reflects the actual visit.
One-bedroom apartment
Small moisture marks beside the bedroom window. Ask the landlord about the cause and any recent repairs.

Trust the evidence, not a badge
Photos, videos and written observations give you something concrete to review.
The same core checklist helps make the report clear and easy to follow.
We provide observations. The decision to rent—and any further checks—remain yours.
A visit cannot establish ownership, prove someone’s identity or rule out hidden defects. Ask for the appropriate documents and advice before committing.

A few things you might be wondering
A local verifier visits the property, compares visible details with the listing and records photos, short videos and observations. The report covers the accessible areas and notes anything that could not be checked.
No. A visit provides evidence about a property at a particular time. It does not prove ownership, verify a landlord’s identity or guarantee that an agreement is legitimate.
The landlord, agent or someone authorised must arrange access and consent to the visit and documentation. We cannot enter a property without permission.
Timing depends on access, property size and local availability. The visit and report delivery window are confirmed with you before payment; we don’t promise a same-day service.
Yes. Add your questions when booking—for example, water pressure, desk space or the washing machine. We confirm whether they can be included. Some checks require permission or a different specialist.
A visit needs permission. If access cannot be agreed, we discuss the options with you before proceeding. A refusal alone is not proof of fraud.
No. HomeCheck provides observational documentation. It does not replace an engineer, building surveyor, property valuation or legal advice.
Our initial service areas are Porto, Lisbon, Braga and Coimbra, subject to verifier availability. For other areas, request a quote.
Cancellation conditions must be provided and accepted before a paid booking. Contact us as soon as your plans change. Do not assume a refund policy beyond the conditions shown for your booking and applicable consumer rights.
