Property surveys in Israel

Abstract

Introduction The concept of a property survey as understood in the UK has only recently emerged in the Israeli market. This was brought home to me on one of my earliest surveys, when I was commissioned by a prospective foreign purchaser to inspect a vacant two‐bedroomed apartment in Tel Aviv. I had arranged to meet the seller/owner and after a few pleasantries I made my customary familiarisation tour of the premises. Stepping out into the common hall to locate the meter cupboard, I heard the front door shut behind me and turned to find the owner locking up. When asked what she was doing, she replied, ‘But you have finished, haven't you?’
