Trace roof design, membranes, drainage, repairs, warranties and rainy-season evidence before buying a villa.
Fresh paint can hide a roof history
Identify every roof, terrace, parapet, penetration, drain and overflow above occupied space. Request drawings, membrane specifications, installer invoices, warranties, repair records and dated photos from heavy rain. Inspect ceilings, wall junctions, service penetrations and concealed areas with a qualified specialist.
Distinguish a blocked drain or failed sealant from defects requiring structural opening. Confirm access rights, safe maintenance routes and responsibility for any shared roof. Pair this with the rainy-season inspection, insurance guide and buyer service.

Fact check
Leak source, membrane life, warranty, repair scope and responsibility are property- and weather-specific. Obtain qualified inspection and contract advice.
