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, inspection costs are typically tax-deductible as Werbungskosten.

Yes. 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, understand your rights under German Baurecht, and identify cost reductions.

A Bauabnahme is the formal handover of a new-build from the developer. Once you sign the Abnahmeprotokoll, defects become your problem. We attend the handover, document every defect in English, and ensure nothing gets signed off until it's properly fixed. Especially important for MedienHafen and Rheinufer developments.

Yes. We provide Verkehrswertgutachten (market value assessments) for divorce settlements, dividing an inheritance and co-ownership buyouts, by agreement between the parties. These are independent valuations for your own decisions and negotiations. Valuations the Finanzamt must formally accept under §198 BewG require the Gutachterausschuss, a publicly appointed (ö.b.u.v.) expert or an ISO 17024 certified valuer, so we refer those on.

We reply within 2 hours with the next available Düsseldorf 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 2 hours you receive the next available Düsseldorf dates and a fixed price. No obligation, and no payment until the date is confirmed.

Düsseldorf's ornate Gründerzeit buildings in Oberkassel and Carlstadt often conceal moisture damage behind stucco facades, outdated electrical wiring, insufficient insulation, and plumbing that hasn't been updated in decades. The beautiful facade doesn't tell you the full story, our thermal cameras and moisture meters do.

Twelve areas: walls and cracks, moisture and damp, plumbing, windows and doors, roof and attic, electrical systems, heating and ventilation, insulation and energy, foundation and structure, façade and exterior, Wohnfläche and layout, and mould and air quality. Every finding is photographed, rated traffic-light style and given a repair cost estimate, plus a review of the sale documents and the Eigentümerversammlung minutes.
