Quick Check

Kurzgutachten

from €450

A Kurzgutachten is a quick pre-purchase property assessment carried out by a certified building expert (Bausachverständiger). In Berlin, it typically takes 1–2 hours on-site and covers structure, moisture, electrics, and visible defects. You receive a 1-page Dashboard Report with traffic-light severity ratings and a clear go/no-go recommendation, the fastest way to identify deal-breakers before committing to a full building survey or making an offer on a flat or house.

A Kurzgutachten is a quick pre-purchase property assessment that takes 1–2 hours on-site. You receive a 1-page Dashboard Report with traffic-light severity ratings and a go/no-go recommendation. A Baugutachten is a comprehensive 12-point building survey with a full written PDF report including repair cost estimates, photo documentation, document review, and a negotiation summary. The Kurzgutachten is ideal for shortlisting properties; the Baugutachten is what you commission before signing the Kaufvertrag.
