Home inspections in Berlin&Brandenburg

Buying property in Germany can be risky if you don’t know what to look for. Our home inspections in Berlin help international buyers understand the real condition of an apartment or house before signing.

We inspect on-site, document key findings, and explain the results clearly in English—so you can decide and negotiate with confidence.

Why get a home inspection in Berlin before you buy

Most problems don’t show up in a short viewing. A professional home inspection helps you avoid costly surprises, understand renovation risks, and prioritize what is urgent vs what can wait. It’s a practical step to protect your budget—especially in older Berlin buildings and apartments.

How the inspection works

  • Send property details (address/district, type, size, concerns)

  • We confirm scope and schedule the visit

  • On-site home inspection

  • You receive a clear English summary and a detailed 25-page PDF report (English)

What we check during our home inspections

Our inspections are visual and non-invasive, focused on visible and accessible areas:

  • Building condition (walls, ceilings, floors, visible cracks and damage)

  • Moisture risk and water damage indicators

  • Windows/doors (function, sealing, draft clues)

  • Heating, plumbing, and electrical red flags (visible checks)

  • Interior workmanship and renovation shortcuts

  • Bathrooms/kitchens (typical moisture and leak risk zones)

What you receive after the inspection

You get a buyer-friendly overview with:

  • Prioritized findings (urgent / recommended / monitor)

  • Photo documentation where relevant

  • Practical next steps and follow-up recommendations

What a home inspection is

A home inspection in Berlin is a practical, buyer-focused assessment of a property’s visible and accessible condition. The goal is to identify defects, risks, and costly surprises before you commit—especially helpful for international buyers who want a clear decision basis in English.

What a home inspection does not include

To keep the inspection efficient and non-invasive, we do not perform destructive testing (no drilling/opening walls) and we don’t replace specialist lab tests or full technical testing. If we see something that needs a specialist follow-up, we tell you exactly what to check next.

When a home inspection is the right choice

A home inspection is ideal when you:

  • You’re buying an apartment or house and want a clear picture of its condition

  • You need to understand renovation risks and the main cost drivers

  • You want a factual basis for negotiation with the seller

  • You already own a property and want to assess its condition before renovating

What we check during the inspection (non-invasive)

During your home inspection in Berlin, we focus on common risk areas:

  • Building condition: walls, ceilings, floors, visible cracks/damage

  • Windows/doors: function, sealing, drafts, visible wear

  • Heating/plumbing/electrical: visible red flags and safety concerns
