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 gives you a verbal red/amber/green severity rating of the property's condition—covering structure, moisture, electrics, and visible defects. It is the fastest way to identify deal-breakers before committing to a full building survey or making an offer on a flat or house.

What's Included

✓ Visual inspection of all accessible areas

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Kurzgutachten and how is it different from a Baugutachten?+
A Kurzgutachten is a quick visual property assessment that takes 1–2 hours and gives you a verbal summary on-site. A Baugutachten is a comprehensive 12-point building survey with thermal imaging, moisture testing, and a full written PDF report. The Kurzgutachten is ideal for shortlisting properties; the Baugutachten is what you commission before signing the Kaufvertrag.
How much does a Kurzgutachten cost in Berlin?+
A Kurzgutachten in Berlin typically costs from €450 depending on property size and location. If you later upgrade to a full Baugutachten, your Quick Check fee is credited toward the full report.
Can I get a written report from a Kurzgutachten?+
The standard Kurzgutachten includes a verbal on-site summary only. For a written English PDF report with photos and repair cost estimates, you would upgrade to the full Baugutachten. You can also add optional extras like a thermal imaging report (+€150) or a follow-up call (+€99).
How quickly can I book a Kurzgutachten in Berlin?+
We typically schedule quick checks within 2–5 working days, sometimes faster. If you have a second viewing coming up and need a same-week appointment, get in touch and we'll do our best to accommodate.
