For Buyers

Is the asking price reasonable?

A listing names a price and reasons for it. We work against it: fair market value, location from data, condition, purchase costs and what the property carries in yield.

is what you pay as a buyer in England and Wales, that is market practice throughout. The fee is carried by the seller and is held back from the purchase price by the solicitor on completion day.

Nobody pays us

We broker nothing and take no money from any seller. That is why the uncomfortable figure is in the report.

Market practice, not regulated by law · HomeOwners Alliance, 2026 · Every amount is worked out on a property at €400,000, so that the countries stay comparable. Where there is no statutory ceiling, the market rate is marked as such. Every figure is checked against the statute or an official survey. Which body that is in each case is stated in the report itself. This is information, not legal advice.

What you get

Every point has its own building block in the report

Fair market value

A reasoned range instead of a wished-for figure, with the derivation beside it. We deliberately calculate on the cautious side: an inflated estimate is no help to you in a negotiation.

Purchase costs

Transfer tax, registration, notary and agent differ sharply from country to country. On file for 33 countries and calculated on your price.

What has to be renovated

The potential chapter separates what is mandatory, what pays off and what stays pure cosmetics. That lets you negotiate about amounts instead of impressions.

Papers for the bank

A chapter of its own prepares the figures the way a financing application needs them, including the financing calculation.

The pitfall

The square-metre price of the street is not the price of this flat

Portals calculate with averages per district. Floor, orientation, condition, noise and layout shift the value of the same area considerably. Anyone who only knows the average overpays for a poor property and lets a good one go.

Tip from Scan my Home

Take the report to the viewing on paper. Anyone who puts the report number and three documented points on the table is treated differently from someone with a feeling.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is the asking price for this flat reasonable?

The report sets a reasoned market value against the price being asked, including the derivation, the location assessment and the purchase costs for the country in question.

Is a link to the listing enough?

The text of the listing is enough, and you can simply paste it. Photos, a floor plan and documents as PDF improve the result further.

Does this replace a surveyor's report?

No. It is an AI-assisted assessment, not an expert valuation under valuation law. For a court-proof valuation you need a qualified surveyor.
