We find hidden defects before you buy.

A Viewing Check starts from €450, a Red Flag Check with traffic-light dashboard report from €650, and a full Baugutachten from €850. All prices are final, VAT exempt per §19 UStG (Kleinunternehmerregelung). If you're buying as an investment to rent out, inspection costs are typically tax-deductible as Werbungskosten.

A Baugutachten is a comprehensive building inspection report. Berlin's property market attracts international buyers, with prices ranging from €4,000-€7,000/m² depending on district. A Baugutachten helps you understand exactly what you're buying, identify hidden defects, and gives you hard evidence to negotiate the Kaufpreis down. Our clients typically save €10,000-€30,000.

Absolutely. In Berlin, where prices are high and competition is fierce, our report documents every defect with photos, estimated repair costs, and technical assessments. We also support you through the negotiation, helping you push back on the seller, know your rights, and identify cost reductions.

A Bauabnahme is the formal handover inspection of a new-build property. It's the moment you accept the building from the developer, and the moment defects become your problem. Once you sign the Abnahmeprotokoll, your 5-year Gewährleistung (warranty) clock starts. We attend the handover with you, document every defect in English, and make sure nothing gets signed off until it's properly fixed.

We reply within one working day with the next available Berlin dates. After the inspection, your written report arrives within 24 hours, photos, ratings and repair costs included. If your offer deadline is tight, say so; we can often accommodate it.

Yes, and we encourage it. Walking the property together is worth half the report: you see every finding in place and can ask anything on the spot. If you cannot attend, we call you afterwards and walk you through the findings one by one.

Ideally: the listing, floor plans, minutes of the Eigentümerversammlung from the last three years, the Instandhaltungsrücklage statement, the Energieausweis, and any past damage or repair reports. Do not worry if you have only part of this, we will tell you exactly what is missing and why it matters.

Send the listing or address through the form below or by WhatsApp. Within one working day you receive the next available Berlin dates and a fixed price. No obligation, and no payment until the date is confirmed.
