Inspect earthing, lightning protection, surge devices, test records and sensitive equipment before purchase.
Visible rods do not prove a complete protection system
Ask a qualified electrical professional to map the lightning protection, earthing and surge-protection arrangement for the villa, pool plant, pumps, gates, solar equipment, generator, internet and automation. Request design information, test results, maintenance history, alterations and invoices.
Inspect bonding, distribution boards, device condition, cable routes and evidence of past damage. Check which equipment and electrical events the insurance policy covers, and budget for independent testing rather than relying on a seller statement. Read villa electrical checks, insurance guide and buyer service.
