Energy performance certificate – why it is so important

The basic rule is that anyone who wants to sell or rent a house or apartment needs an energy performance certificate. If the energy performance certificate is not available for viewing or if the legal requirements are not met, fines of up to €15,000 may be imposed. That is why you should pay attention to a few things when it comes to energy performance certificates.

Increase the value potential of your property with an exposé

Due to high market demand, many owners believe that they do not need much documentation to sell their property. A yellow sign on the lamppost and an online advertisement with a photo of the garden are sufficient. After all, a high-quality property brochure requires a lot of effort. You have to write texts, take photos, design the pages, and, of course, gather all the important documents. Private sellers therefore like to skip this step. This can have unpleasant consequences that negatively affect the selling time and price—and even have legal consequences.

Sell securely at the best possible price with good preparation: How to prepare properly for selling your property

Demand on the real estate market is currently high almost everywhere. So it's not difficult to find interested buyers and sell your own home at a good price. But what you don't know is how well and how easily you have sold your home in the end. Behind every successful sale, where an optimal price is achieved within a reasonable period of time, there is usually a lot of work and preparation.

What insurance do I need as a homeowner?

Anyone who has fulfilled their dream of owning their own four walls is reluctant to take the risk of not being able to repair any damage to their beloved home for financial reasons. In addition to property damage and financial loss, personal injury can also occur. Property owners are not required to take out insurance. Nevertheless, basic coverage is advisable to avoid potentially insurmountable problems in the future.

That depends on the individual case. Certain properties (e.g. vacation homes) are in higher demand at certain times and are therefore easier to sell.

Is there an optimal time to sell real estate?

Buyer in sight: Should I turn down the other interested parties?

Better not! The sale is only complete once the notarized purchase agreement has been legally signed. Until then, either party can withdraw from the purchase without giving a reason, even if verbal agreements have been made. However, many prospective buyers will not simply allow themselves to be strung along for weeks. Our tip: Set a strict schedule for the notarization.

There can be various reasons for this. Often, despite high demand, properties are offered to the wrong prospective buyers.

Why won't anyone buy my property?

Which is better: selling to friends or strangers?

Unspoken expectations make selling to friends more challenging than selling to strangers: the friendship bonus alone can quickly involve a lot of money. Dealing with problems that may arise after a sale can also quickly put a friendship to the test. TIP: A professional real estate agent can use their experience to help ensure a smooth sale to friends and acquaintances.

An experienced real estate photographer knows exactly how to photograph a property. Professional photos have been proven to promote successful sales. TIP: Professional real estate agents cover the photographer's costs.

What's better: taking your own photos or hiring an expensive photographer?

What is better: buying property when you are young or when you are older?

Age isn't important. It depends on your life situation.

Never conceal defects! As the seller, you are liable for defects that you have deliberately concealed, even after the sale. TIP: Not all defects are the same. Always have a defect assessed by an expert beforehand and find out about the options for rectification and the costs involved.

What is better: conceal defects or point them out?

Which is better: selling with or without emotions?

With just the right amount of emotion! People don't buy real estate just for the square footage it offers, but for the feeling of what it will be like to live there or the advantages of owning it.
