Electrical safety inspection in Buda for apartments, family houses, shops and offices. With 10+ years of building electrical experience, a clear VBF inspection certificate and professional support available for later questions as well.
During the on-site inspection, the measurement results are evaluated together with practical installation experience. This helps distinguish what represents a real safety risk and what requires further clarification.
The inspection is not treated merely as a documentation task. The measured values, distribution board layout, protective devices and identified defects are evaluated with practical installation experience. This helps ensure that, in addition to the inspection certificate, clear and useful technical recommendations are also provided.
After the documentation has been handed over, we remain available if any questions arise in connection with the inspection certificate, identified defects, sale, rental or the order of corrective works.
If a defect is found during the inspection, we do not only record the issue, but also provide a clear direction for the solution and, where appropriate, offer an immediate solution.
The purpose of the VBF inspection is to determine whether the electrical installation of the property is in an acceptable safety condition. The inspection consists of visual checks, instrument measurements and documented evaluation. In Buda, old condominium apartments, partly renovated electrical networks and properties with mixed technical condition are especially common, which makes on-site experience particularly important.

Book an appointmentThe most common cases are property sale, rental, post-renovation checking, periodic inspection or a safety assessment of an old electrical installation. In properties in Buda, it is common that the visible renovation and the actual condition of the electrical network are not the same, so it is worth checking safety with professional measurements.
Before a change of ownership, it is important to check whether an inspection certificate less than 6 years old is available. If not, the VBF inspection may be required.
VBF before selling an apartmentFor rental, the inspection certificate helps prove that the safety condition of the electrical network has been inspected by a specialist.
VBF before rentalFor old, repeatedly extended or post-renovation modified electrical networks, the inspection helps reveal safety risks.
VBF detailsThe purpose of the consultation and on-site inspection is to prepare the necessary documentation with as little disruption as possible.
The property type, floor area, Buda district, number of distribution boards and purpose of the inspection are recorded.
Visual checks and instrument measurements are carried out on the accessible electrical installation.
The professional evaluation is prepared based on the measured values and the defects observed.
The inspection certificate and, if needed, a summary of the defects to be corrected are handed over. We also remain available for later questions.
The purpose of the service is to give the property owner, landlord or buyer a clear picture of the safety condition of the electrical network, the identified defects and the necessary documentation. Local presence also makes preparation for Buda locations and any later consultation easier.

Yes, if no inspection documentation less than 6 years old is available.
Yes, if no inspection documentation less than 6 years old is available.
Yes, in the case of apartment rental and change of ownership, the inspection document less than 6 years old, that is, the inspection certificate, is the relevant document. According to point 1.13.2 f) of the Electrical Technical Safety Regulations forming Annex 1 to Decree 40/2017. (XII. 4.) NGM, an electrical safety inspection must be carried out on the electrical installation of apartments in residential buildings when renting out or transferring ownership, unless an inspection document, that is, an inspection certificate, confirming an inspection carried out not more than 6 years before the date of rental or ownership transfer is available.
The electrical safety inspection may be carried out by a specialist with the appropriate electrical professional qualification, experience and inspection authorisation. The inspection is not a simple visual check: it also includes instrument measurements, evaluation of the results and preparation of an inspection certificate.
Issuing the assessment requires the specialist to be familiar with the requirements of protection against electric shock, standards compliance and electrical safety, and to have the necessary measuring instruments and documentation background.
The VBF inspection certificate summarises the result of the electrical safety inspection. It includes the findings, measurement results, any defects and the final assessment.
The purpose of the electrical safety inspection is to check whether the property's electrical installation can be used safely. The inspection may cover, among other things, protective conductors, earthing, protection against electric shock, fault protection conditions, the operation of residual-current devices and protective devices.
The measurements are carried out with professional Fluke or Metrel measuring instruments with valid calibration. The instruments used have measurement functions according to the MSZ EN 61557 standard series for testing low-voltage electrical installations.
An RCD, commonly known in Hungarian as a FI relay, is a residual-current device. Its function is to disconnect the circuit in the event of a fault if it detects a difference between the current flowing in the phase conductor and the neutral conductor. This difference may occur, for example, in the case of an insulation fault, a fault to an exposed conductive part or a risk of electric shock.
In apartments and family houses, 30 mA residual-current devices are often used for personal protection. However, an RCD alone does not replace a properly installed protective conductor, earthing and overcurrent protection, so the condition of the entire electrical network must also be checked separately.
For an accurate inspection, it may be necessary at certain points to temporarily remove the cover of fittings, sockets, switches, light fittings or the distribution board.
This may be necessary because visual inspection and instrument measurement together provide a reliable picture of the condition of the network. For example, the presence and continuity of protective conductors, the condition of connections, the layout of the distribution board and, for certain light fittings, including double-insulated luminaires, the presence or termination of the protective conductor must be checked.
The required access is always carried out with the least possible intervention and agreed on site. The aim is not to dismantle the network, but to verify whether the electrical installation can be used safely.
Yes, certain measurements may require a short disconnection or temporary de-energisation. This is always agreed on site in advance.
The on-site inspection of an average apartment can usually be completed within 2 hours. The exact duration depends on the floor area, the number of distribution boards, the condition of the electrical network and accessibility.
Typical defects may include missing or damaged protective conductors, faulty sockets, unsuitable protective devices, incorrectly installed circuits, missing residual-current device protection or inadequate insulation condition.
The identified defects are recorded in the documentation. The final assessment depends on how serious the defect is, whether it poses an immediate danger and whether it affects the safe use of the electrical installation.
After the defects have been corrected, a repeated inspection or supplementary measurement may be required. In most cases, this is provided with a significant discount, because at that point the inspection specifically focuses on checking the correction of the previously identified defects.
If a previous document with an unsatisfactory assessment is already available, we review the identified defects and check whether they have been corrected. An unsatisfactory assessment in itself does not prove that the electrical installation is in a safe condition, so after correction, a repeated inspection or supplementary measurement may be required. In most cases, this is provided with a significant discount.
Yes. During the electrical safety inspection, photographs may be taken of the inspected electrical installation, distribution boards, measurement points and any defects found. The photographs form part of the inspection documentation and help clearly identify the findings.
The photographs attached to the documentation, together with the property details, ensure that the inspected electrical installation and the location can be clearly identified. The purpose of the photographs is solely to document the technical condition and professionally support the inspection findings.
Yes. The inspection typically does not involve significant dirt. For occupational safety reasons, the measurements are carried out in appropriate protective equipment, which may include safety boots. To protect the cleanliness of the property, clean shoe covers are always used over the boots.
In the case of a property sale, the cost of the electrical safety inspection typically depends on the agreement between the seller and the buyer. In practice, the seller often orders the inspection, because having the documentation related to the transfer of ownership available may also support the sale.
The parties may agree otherwise, so it is advisable to clarify at the beginning of the sale process who orders the inspection and who bears its cost.
The fee for an electrical safety inspection of an average apartment may typically be around HUF 50,000–60,000, but every property is different, so the exact fee is determined based on an individual quotation.
