HELPFUL TIPS FOR YOUR PROPERTY SEARCH IN BERLIN, POTSDAM & BRANDENBURG

The search for the right property is often much more complex and time-consuming than prospective buyers imagine. This is because it is always necessary to weigh up offers, personal requirements and financial possibilities.

1st tip: Get an overview of your finances

Everyone has their own personal dreams of owning their own home. But if they can’t be financed in the end, they can quickly fall through. It is therefore all the better to get an overview of your financial situation right from the start. This way, you can approach your property search in a much more targeted manner, avoid disappointment and have a realistic chance of obtaining good real estate financing.

Our estate agent tip for budget planning: Be sure to remain realistic. Banks are calculating more tightly in the current interest rate phase, making good conditions more difficult to obtain.

2nd tip: Define individual requirements

If you randomly contact sellers or estate agents in Berlin, Potsdam or Brandenburg without being clear about what you want, your property search will certainly be a tedious one. It will cost you an unnecessary amount of time and nerves to view properties that do not meet your expectations in terms of location, size or furnishings.

Our tip for your property search: Make a list of your most important requirements for the size of the property and plot, the location and neighborhood as well as the furnishings or other special features. If possible, set priorities: would you prefer to live in a more central location or more living space at a lower price on the outskirts of the city? It is not uncommon to have to make small compromises.

3rd tip: Take a close look during viewings

Property hunting is exciting and it is equally exciting to step into the home of strangers to see if this will be your new home. Try to focus on the essentials: structural condition, energy efficiency, room layout, neighborhood, condition of the property. Ask the seller about sources of noise, businesses and industries in the area and transport links. Also ask about the construction method, the condition of the roof and basement and the last renovation.

Our estate agent’s tip for viewings: Make a note of important questions in advance and give the seller the opportunity to provide the answers after the viewing if in doubt. Always view your dream property more than once, if necessary with a building expert.
