What is important to look out for during the visit?

Before buying a property, the building fabric and building services should be examined in detail. In the case of houses, the building must be thoroughly examined from the outside. Are the facade, windows and doors in order? Is there a need for repair? The gutters, downpipes and exterior lighting should also be considered.

Modernization

Is a conversion of the kitchen, bathroom or guest WC necessary? When buying an existing property, advice should always be sought from a professional who can realistically estimate the costs of refurbishment and modernisation.

Living space data

A survey by a real estate agent or architect will help you verify the actual living and usable space. At Riedel Immobilien, all floor plans are re-measured and drawn by an in-house architect.

Basement

Dampness in the basement is one of the most difficult defects to detect. Without assistance from the expert, the infestation is difficult to eliminate and usually moisture in the basement reappears at irregular intervals.

Building services

In addition to the heating system, the entire sanitary and electrical wiring network must be checked. According to the Energy Saving Ordinance (EnEV), there is an obligation to replace old boilers in the event of a sale.
