Hi Graciano.

Not sure of specific info you are looking for, but in Portugal, as in much of Europe, Home Inspectors are called “Surveyors”. Here are some links to get you started.

Hope it helps.

I have properties in Portugal, and I spend a bit of time in Portugal during the year. It would be nice if could earn some income when am there. From what I have read so far the home inspection sector is pretty new there.
