Buying a property is one of the most important decisions in life. But what should you pay particular attention to during a viewing to make sure you make the right choice? As experienced real estate agents, we will guide you through this process and help you find the perfect property for you. Here is our checklist to help you make sure you don't overlook any important details:

1. location of the property

Location is one of the most important factors when buying a property. Make sure that the surroundings meet your requirements:
- How far is it to the nearest supermarket, school or workplace?
- Are there good transport links?
- Are there any noise emissions nearby (e.g. road traffic, railroad tracks)?
We help you to take a close look at the surroundings of your dream property and weigh up all the pros and cons.

2. condition of the property

The visual impression alone is not enough. also examine the structural condition:
- Are there any signs of damp or mold?
- Are the windows and doors in good condition?
- What about the heating system?
With our expertise, we can identify potential defects at an early stage and save you from having to bear high renovation costs later on.

3. room layout and size

Check whether the room layout suits your lifestyle:
- Are the rooms large enough?
- What about the number of rooms?
- Is there enough space to store items that are not needed for everyday life (e.g. cellar, storage room)?
A property may look good at first glance, but it is important that you feel comfortable in it in the long term. We help you to objectively assess the room layout and adapt the property to your needs.

4. equipment and modernization requirements

The fixtures and fittings also play an important role:
- Do the kitchen and bathroom meet your expectations?
- Are the electrical installations up to date?
- Is the property well insulated (e.g. windows, roof)?
We work with you to check the investment requirements and help you to realistically estimate the costs.

5. energy efficiency

Take a look at the property's energy certificate:
- How high is the energy consumption?
- Which energy sources are used (e.g. gas, oil, renewable energies)?
An energy-efficient property not only saves costs, but also protects the environment. We can advise you on the advantages and disadvantages of different energy sources and help you make a sustainable decision.

6. price-performance ratio

Last but not least, you should make sure that the price-performance ratio of the property is right:
- Is the purchase price reasonable compared to similar properties in the region?
- What additional costs are involved (e.g. ancillary purchase costs, taxes, insurance costs)?
We carry out a detailed market analysis for you and help you to negotiate the best price for your dream property.
