FAQs – Frequently asked questions

In order to determine the value of your property, a professional property valuation must be carried out. This takes into account factors such as location, size, condition of the property and current market trends. We would be happy to prepare a valuation for you – this remains free of charge for you when you place the sales order.

The duration of a sales process depends on various factors, such as the market situation, the type of property and the pricing. On average, you can expect the sales process to take a few months. We make sure that the process is as quick and efficient as possible.

For the sale of a property you need, among other things:

• Land register extract
• Energy certification
• Building plans and floor plans
• Proof of renovations carried out
• Rental agreements (if rented)

We support you in compiling the necessary documents.

In a nutshell: Yes. According to the law, you must provide an energy performance certificate for your property if you sell or rent it out. The energy performance certificate provides information about the energy efficiency of the building and can help to increase the interest of potential buyers or tenants.

Valuation of your property

1. Creation of an exposé including photos, floor plans, 360° inspection
2. Marketing (advertisements on the usual real estate portals, display in the shop window, presentation on our homepage and in social media, contact with pre-registered customers whose search profile matches your property)
3. Prospect management, appointments and viewings
4. Price negotiations
5. Preparation of the notary appointment and assistance with the notarization of the purchase contract

We are at your side during every phase.

The value of a property can be determined in various ways, including:

• Comparative value method (comparison of similar properties)
• Income capitalization approach (for rented properties)
• Material value method (construction costs minus wear and tear)

As experienced real estate agents, we can provide you with comprehensive advice and an accurate valuation.

When buying real estate, you should expect various incidental purchase costs, including:

• Real estate transfer tax
• Notary fees
• Land register fees
• Broker commission.

In total, these additional costs can account for up to 10-15% of the purchase price.

If you are interested in buying a property, you can create a search profile with us. This way you will be informed in advance about suitable properties before they go on the official market. This search profile is free of charge for you.

If you send us an e-mail with your contact details (name, address, telephone number), we will send you a link where you can create your search profile. Here you can enter your exact search criteria such as location, size, furnishings and budget. You can change this profile at any time using your own access data if your requirements change.

Unfortunately, there is no general answer to this question. Essentially, the time frame depends on your requirements, the current market situation and the availability of suitable properties.

A landlord has several obligations:

• Guarantee of the contractual condition of the property
• Carrying out necessary repairs
• Provision of information on ancillary costs and operating costs

We will be happy to provide you with detailed information or take over the rental process for you.

Notice of termination for personal use must be given in writing and meet certain requirements, e.g. stating the reason. As a rule, a notice period of three to nine months must be observed, depending on the duration of the tenancy. We will be happy to advise you on the termination process.

Rent increases are permitted under certain conditions, for example as part of the rent cap or in the form of annual increases in accordance with the rental agreement. Legal regulations apply, so it is advisable to obtain information in advance.

Unfortunately, no. Since the introduction of the ordering principle in 2015, the search for rental properties for real estate agents has been accompanied by a multitude of legal regulations that make it at least as difficult for agents as it is for private seekers.

Landlords prefer to receive complete (application) documents from the outset. These include the last three months’ payslips, a tenant’s self-disclosure, a credit report and, if necessary, a personal letter and, for younger people, a parental guarantee.
