Real estate inspection is one of the activities of estimating the value of real estate and an important source of data about it. The purpose of this article is to highlight selected significant doubts related to the performance of property inspections by property appraisers in the process of estimating their value, and to attempt to interpret the provisions of the Regulation of the Minister of Development and Technology of 5 September, 2023, on real estate valuation (r.w.n.), regarding the obligation and method of conducting such inspections. To this end, using the formal-dogmatic method and, as an auxiliary, the comparative method, a comprehensive analysis of the issue of real estate inspections was conducted, starting from the provisions of the r.w.n. and reaching to examples of national regulations in other European Union member states. The article demonstrates that § 3 section 1 and 2 of the Regulation of the Minister of Development and Technology of 5 September 2023 on the valuation of real estate should be interpreted as meaning that it is the property appraiser who decides whether, to what extent and how he will perform the inspection. The appraiser may also waive the inspection in situations where it is possible to perform it, but he decides that he has sufficient knowledge about the property based on other sources. He does not have to conduct the inspection personally, he can appoint an appropriate person for this purpose. The inspection can also be performed remotely.
