Frequently asked questions about home purchase advice

How quickly can the counselling take place?

Usually within a few days. Depending on the scope of the documents and the schedule, an on-site appointment can also be organised at short notice.

When is the right time for a home purchase consultation?

Ideally, before you sign the purchase contract - preferably when you are seriously thinking about buying a property. This gives you enough time to check all the documents and recognise possible weak points at an early stage.

What does the house purchase consultation cost?

The costs depend on the work involved and the scope of services. After the initial, free telephone consultation, we will prepare a customised quote - transparent and without hidden costs. So you know exactly what you can expect.

Do I also need home purchase advice if a valuer is already involved?

A traditional surveyor usually only assesses the structural condition. Our house purchase advice goes beyond this: we also check documents such as the land register, energy performance certificate and condominium agreement protocols, point out legal pitfalls and help you bring all the information together to make a clear decision.

What happens after the home purchase consultation?

After the analysis, you will receive a compact, brief appraisal with a clear assessment of the purchase price, possible investments and risks. On request, we can discuss the results in person via Zoom or telephone. The aim is for you to be able to make an informed decision afterwards - with a good feeling.

Yes, many of our customers have an initial assessment made on the basis of the documents - even without an on-site visit. If necessary or desired, the on-site appointment can be supplemented. A well-founded valuation is also possible digitally, especially for properties with clear data.
