How can I confirm a report concerns the correct property?
Compare identifiers, dates and plan references across the records, and have discrepancies assessed before relying on the report.
Match the report to its subject
Begin with the report's cover, attachments and stated purpose. Compare the owner or commissioning party, property description, cadastral identifier where available, deed references and the plans used. A street address alone may not distinguish a plot, apartment, outbuilding or adjoining parcel.
Check whether the report covers the whole property being sold, an individual unit or only a particular technical issue. Note the inspection date, revision number and any limitations, such as areas that were inaccessible. A report concerning an earlier layout may not address subsequent changes.
Send a discrepancy list to the author and your Greek lawyer, with the relevant pages attached. Ask the engineer to reconcile technical descriptions and plans, and the lawyer to assess links to deeds and registry records. Do not amend identifiers yourself or assume a small difference is harmless. Request a clearly identified clarification or replacement and retain the original so there is a traceable explanation of the change.
Practical considerations
- Check plots, units and ancillary spaces separately.
- Read scope and inspection limitations.
- Retain both the original and any revision.
