Get Your Report
Within 48 hours you receive a detailed English-language report with photos, severity ratings, and cost estimates.
We walk you through every finding.
Your inspection isn't just a checklist — it's a conversation. Alice explains every defect in plain English, shows you what to worry about and what's cosmetic, and gives you the confidence to negotiate or walk away.
We also review the WEG collective finances — Hausgeldabrechnung, maintenance reserves, and planned special levies (Sonderumlagen) — to flag hidden costs beyond the walls.
The apartment looked great. The building didn't.
The apartment itself was in good condition — but we don't just check your four walls. Walking the staircase to the top floor, we found mould and a saturated damp wall. That's a building-wide issue, not a cosmetic one.
Without checking the WEG documents, the buyer would have had no idea the building insurance had already rejected the claim. Potential collective repair costs: €20,000+, outside the Erhaltungsrücklage — meaning a Sonderumlage for every owner.
This is why we check the whole building — not just your apartment.
