Checklist for property buyers: What you should pay attention to during a viewing

Buying a property is one of the most important decisions in life. But what should you pay particular attention to during a tour to make sure that 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 not miss any important details:

1. Property location

Location is one of the most important factors when buying a property. Make sure that the environment meets your requirements:
- How far is it to the nearest supermarket, school or work?
- Are the transport links good?
- Are there annoying noise emissions nearby (e.g. road traffic, railway tracks)?
We help you to take a close look at the area surrounding your dream property and weigh up all advantages and disadvantages.

2. Condition of the property

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

3. Room layout and size

Check that the room layout fits your lifestyle:
- Are the rooms big enough?
- What about the number of rooms?
- Is there enough space to clear objects that are not used for everyday use (e.g. cellar, storage room)?
A property can be convincing at first glance, but it is important that you also feel comfortable with it in the long term. We help you objectively evaluate the layout of the property and adapt the property to your needs.

4. Equipment and Modernization Requirements

The equipment also plays an important role:
- Do the kitchen and bathroom meet your expectations?
- Are electrical installations up to date?
- Is the property well insulated (e.g. window, roof)?
Together with you, we review your investment requirements and help you realistically estimate the costs.

5. Energy efficiency

Pay attention to the property's energy certificate:
- What is the energy consumption?
- Which energy sources are used (e.g. gas, oil, renewable energy)?
An energy-efficient property not only saves costs, but also protects the environment. We advise you on the advantages and disadvantages of various energy sources and help you make a sustainable decision.

6. Value for money

Last but not least, you should ensure 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 there (e.g. ancillary purchase costs, taxes, insurance costs)?
We carry out a detailed market analysis for you and help you negotiate the best price for your dream property.
