FAQ
Questions about the free preliminary assessment
What to know about the calculator before you start — and what happens afterwards.
Usually around five minutes. You answer questions about the purchase price, year of construction, floor area, modernisations and condition of your property. You see the result immediately afterwards.
No. The preliminary assessment only needs details you will typically know offhand or find in your purchase contract. Documents become relevant only if you commission an appraisal — and even then we tell you in advance which ones your case needs. We never require building authority records.
You receive an indication of whether a shortened remaining useful life is plausible for your property, along with a projection of your possible annual tax benefit. The preliminary assessment is not a substitute for an appraisal and is not legally binding.
Your entries are treated confidentially and used solely to calculate your preliminary assessment. They are not sold to third parties. Full details are in our privacy policy.
No. You can use the preliminary assessment and leave it there. If the calculation shows an appraisal would not be worthwhile for you, we say so — that is exactly what the free upfront check is for.
Estimate it. The calculator is built to give a dependable picture from approximate figures. For the appraisal itself we verify the decisive values against your documents anyway.
If an appraisal is worthwhile you can commission it directly. As standard you receive it within 3–5 business days once we have all the information we need. It is prepared by experts certified to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17024.
