For Buyers

Is the asking price justified?

The listing shows what is meant to sell. The report shows the rest: fair value, hidden costs, red flags and how much room you have on price.

The pitfall

What is not in the listing, you still pay

A special levy already voted through, an empty reserve fund, a few square metres less. That sits in minutes and plans, not in the listing. Once you sign, it is yours.

Tip from Scan my Home

Take the report to the viewing. With three documented points on the table you negotiate differently than with a gut feeling.

Questions

The last questions before you start

Is the asking price fair?

The report sets a reasoned market value against the asking price, with location, condition and all purchase costs for your country.

What should I upload?

The listing text is enough. It gets better with the energy certificate, floor plan, owners' meeting minutes and the reserve fund statement. That is where costly surprises hide.

Does it replace a survey?

No. It is an assessment, not a chartered survey or formal valuation. For a binding valuation you need a qualified surveyor.

Clarity in minutes, for buyers

Know what the property is worth before you negotiate.

What is English here, and what is not

Pages without a small DE mark are in English; a few pages are still German only.

Legal texts are translated, but the German version under legal notice, privacy and terms is the one that is legally binding.

Our newsletter PDF and a few image captions are still German.
