THE RIGHT CHECK FOR YOUR PROPERTY

Every home has a different story.
A fresh coat of paint tells you very little about the condition behind a purchase. Our pre-purchase property inspections focus on the details that help you decide what to ask, repair or investigate next.

Apartment inspection in Berlin

Understand the condition of the flat and accessible shared areas. We look at moisture, windows, heating, visible electrics and the available documents that may point to upcoming building work.

House inspection in Berlin & Brandenburg

See how the whole property fits together—from the basement and façade to the roof and attic where accessible. We explain visible defects, maintenance needs and likely renovation priorities.

New-build handover inspection

Prepare for your Vorabnahme or handover with a practical check of accessible finishes, windows, doors, bathrooms and visible installations. We document observed defects so you can raise them with the developer.

WHAT WE LOOK AT

A standard property viewing only scratches the surface. Our comprehensive inspections reveal hidden defects, forecast upcoming repairs, and eliminate the guesswork—empowering you to make a confident, fully informed purchase decision in the Berlin real estate market.

The details that deserve attention.

Your inspection covers visible and safely accessible areas. The exact scope depends on the property, access and the services agreed for your appointment.

01 Moisture & water damage

Targeted moisture measurements and visible signs of damp, staining or leaks in walls, ceilings, bathrooms and basements. We explain where further investigation may be needed.

02 Windows, doors & ventilation

Operation, frames, glazing, seals and visible ventilation issues that may affect comfort, upkeep or moisture control.

03 Heating & hot water

Accessible equipment, apparent age, visible condition and available maintenance information. We identify questions to clarify before planning repairs or replacement.

04 Electrical installation

A visual check of accessible distribution boards, sockets and switches for warning signs. Specialist electrical testing is a separate service.

05 Walls, floors & ceilings

Cracks, uneven surfaces, finishing defects and visible signs of movement or previous repairs, with guidance on findings that need a specialist’s assessment.

06 Kitchens & bathrooms

Visible plumbing, sanitary fittings, joints, seals and ventilation, focusing on condition and water-related concerns.

07 Roof, attic & insulation

Visible roof condition, accessible attic areas, insulation and signs of water entry or ventilation problems. Inspection depends on safe access.

08 Basement, façade & shared areas

Accessible exterior surfaces, balconies, drainage features and basement areas. For apartments, shared spaces are included where access is available and agreed.
