Make sure you know the current value of your property. Real estate prices are developing rapidly and knowing the correct market value is therefore essential. Nobody likes to sell their property below its value - but a price that is set too high can also be harmful, because potential sellers get suspicious when they see the same advert for months and might lose their interest.
Summarising appraisal
With a short appraisal you receive the same value assessment as with a detailed market value appraisal, ie the determination of the market value is also carried out in accordance with the recognized valuation regulations (ImmoWertV). However, the written scope of the report is limited to a description of the key factors influencing value on approx. 20 pages. I will of course be happy to explain the report to you personally afterwards. Due to the shortened form, such an expert opinion cannot be used in court.
Content of a brief report:
- Determination of the market value according to the recognized rules of valuation
- On-site meeting with inside and outside inspection of the property to be assessed
- Photo documentation (inside & outside)
- Obvious assessment of the building fabric
- Examination of the documents for completeness
- Material expert assessments that affect value
- Presentation of key factors influencing value
- Extent of the report: approx. 15 pages
- Final discussion to explain the report
When is a brief report the right choice:
- when selling a property
- when buying a property
- in the case of amicable agreements, e.g. inheritance or divorce
- for statements of assets
Fee: 950€ fixed price - prices may differ for complex legal conditions (e.g. usufruct), appartment buildings and additional services. According to § 19 UStG no sales tax (VAT) is charged.

Buyers advice
Buying real estate is a significant investment that should be carefully considered and carried out with as few risks as possible. Trust the expertise of a professional to accurately assess the purchase price, the condition of the property, and any renovation costs that may arise.
As an expert in property valuation and a civil engineer, I am happy to advise you and provide an overview of all the key factors affecting the value of your future property. This way, you not only receive a professional valuation but also benefit from my many years of experience in the construction and real estate industry. I will review the building's structure and available documents, and strengthen your negotiating position by providing you with arguments for price reductions. Through our affiliated real estate office in Düsseldorf, I am well aware of the current market situation as well as the sales strategies used by the seller's side.
As part of the purchase consultation, you will receive an overview of the key factors influencing the value of your property. After an on-site meeting, we will calculate the value of your property in accordance with the recognized valuation regulations. However, information from public registers, such as soil contamination, additional rights, or further particulars of listed buildings are not part of the assessment. In a personal conversation, we explain our calculations including concomitant assumptions and calculation methods in detail. A detailed overview of intermediate steps and the resulting market value will be given. Of course, you also have the opportunity to ask questions.
Process:
I review the available documents in advance to get a rough idea of the property's value and identify relevant points for the on-site inspection.
Relevant questions during the preliminary review:
What documents are still needed?
What important details are hidden in the building description?
Is the property at risk of flooding?
Are there any suspicions of asbestos?
Is the stated living area plausible?
How should the energy efficiency of the property be assessed?
For condominiums: Is the maintenance reserve sufficient?
During the on-site visit, I inspect the property in detail. To properly assess obvious damages, a moisture meter is always at hand. For example, I can provide a reliable assessment of a damp basement wall or, as a structural engineer, evaluate whether a crack in the plaster is harmless or if a structural assessment is necessary.
Kaufberatung
In addition to the general condition of the property, the following aspects, for example, are also checked:
-
Does the property match the architectural plans – are there any unauthorized constructions?
-
When should the electrical system be renewed?
-
Have renovations been carried out as stated?
-
What renovation measures are likely to be needed in the future?
Afterward, I determine the value of the property according to current, recognized regulations and technical standards. The purchase advice also naturally includes an explanation of the market value calculation, along with the assumptions made, expert assessments, calculation methods, and intermediate values.
In the subsequent personal conversation, I will gladly explain in detail which arguments speak for or against a purchase. In addition to the purchase price, the risk assessment, future market development, as well as the overall impression of the property and the parties involved in the sale, play a role.
Target group: Ideal for checking your gut feeling when buying / selling. Get rid of any remaining doubts and make sure you make the right decision .
