How do I know if the property valuation is fair?
In Germany, you can contact an independent appraiser to visit the property to make a real estate appraisal. Additionally, there are many online sources where you can check the price trends of similar properties in the neighboring area. For a more accurate property valuation, our experts can run a property valuation using the same property valuation software used by most major German lenders.
New: We offer our property valuation! You can find it in the user account by logging in or signing up and requesting a detailed report from us quickly and without any binding obligation. Feel free to contact our experts for a property valuation.
