Certified Property Inspection · Israel
Israel has no inspection contingencies. No escrow protections. No seller disclosure forms. The moment your lawyer countersigns, every defect, every code violation, every undisclosed liability transfers to you at full market price.
Terra Firma exists to make the as-is clause irrelevant to your decision.

The Problem
Your attorney back home likely uses a standard inspection contingency clause. In Israel, that clause does not exist as a universal right.
The Israeli purchase contract is executed rapidly, and the as-is clause (k'mot shehu) is standard language, not a red flag. It is the baseline.
The moment you sign, structural liability transfers to you in its entirety. The assumption that “someone would have flagged it” does not apply here.
The UK conveyancing model, with its solicitor surveys, RICS HomeBuyer reports, and mortgage valuations, has no Israeli equivalent. There is no statutory survey, no chartered surveyor protocol, no buyer-protection framework to fall back on.
You are buying property under a legal regime that places due diligence entirely on you. Our reports are structured to give a UK-trained solicitor the documentary clarity they need to advise you with confidence.

An inspection isn't a cost. It's the most asymmetric investment in your transaction.
How It Works
01
Twenty-minute call before booking, no payment required. We align on property scope, the as-is clauses in your draft contract, and the right tier. If you already know what you need, skip the call and book directly — the published price is the price.
02
Our team of registered Israeli building engineers conducts a comprehensive on-site inspection. Every room, every surface, every system. Premium engagements add a 360° HD panoramic capture at every node, producing a complete digital twin of the asset as it exists.
03
The Hebrew technical findings are Human Translated and Inspected by Native Engineering Experts on our team, with algorithmic validation checks for terminology and code-citation consistency. Defects are spatially tagged inside the 3D model. Nothing is buried in a footnote on page 23.
04
Once your final balance clears, we unlock your interactive 360° walkthrough, your full English report, and your high-resolution photographic documentation. A video consultation walks you through findings and negotiation strategy.
The 360° Difference
Every other inspection firm in Israel will send you a document. Forty pages. Photos embedded in a grid. Hebrew terminology rendered into a mechanical English gloss.
Terra Firma sends you a digital twin.
Navigate every room from your desk in New York, London, or Toronto. Every defect we identify is tagged at its exact spatial coordinates inside the 3D model. Visible, measurable, and fully annotated in plain English by our native engineering team.
You will see the moisture stain on the north-facing wall of the master bedroom. You will see the hairline crack in the load-bearing column. You will understand spatially and precisely what you are about to purchase.
This is not a visualization tool. It is irrefutable documentary evidence that carries weight at the negotiating table.
