| Expertise and Advisory Services for Home Buyers |
| Market
surveys show that Germans put about the same amount of thought and effort
into buying a new home as they do when buying a used car! Incredible as it may seem, only a handful of home buyers call in the help of an expert, preferring to trust their "gut instinct" when signing the contract. Yet a great deal of the hidden damage in a building needs an expert eye to detect it. Buying a new house of apartment involves a considerable financial outlay and involves the buyer in commitments that take more than just a few years to pay off, as is the case with a car. Mortgage repayments are a heavy burden that stretch over decades and the risks of regretting making a bad purchase are high. |
||
| Yet the cost of a reasonable consultation fee gives you security and peace of mind about whether to buy or not. You don't have to buy a pig in a poke! And detected building damage gives you arguments for lowering the asking price! | ||

|
Experts recommend that you call in expert advice and have the property
surveyed for hidden structural damage before you buy it!

usually find that a briefing of the survey is sufficient to help clients
come to their final decision, but we do encourage clients to make notes
of what the surveyor remarks and will give you a checklist to help you.
Once the property has been acquired, I can offer you my services as an architect 
for oversight of any building measures that might be needed or I can recommend
you a good firm of builders. In the follow-up period too I will be glad
to answer any questions you may have. |
