Property Finding

Exploratory Meeting (noncommittal)

This is an opportunity for you to let us know your requirements and expectations and for us to discuss how our service works. We will brief you on the current property market in Berlin and what you may expect within your search criteria. This can be achieved in a meeting in Berlin, a phone call or Skype conversation at your convenience.

Investigative Search

Through a comprehensive needs assessment process we establish your search profile and identify potential properties. We research the market using our extensive network of estate agents, developers and private owners. By these means we will discover relevant properties which are currently available, and in addition those not yet officially on the market. We will further ensure that these proposals are in line with your criteria by pre-viewing all options before sending you a detailed short-list of suitable properties.

Accompanied Viewings

At this point you may plan to travel to Berlin for an extensive viewing tour. We will create an itinerary to show you the proposed properties and brief you on the specifics of each location in order to help you to identify your best choice.

Should you choose to select a property without coming to Berlin we will endeavour to provide additional visual material to present the various options.

Orientation Tours

A guided tour of various districts of Berlin can be arranged during the search process. This entails a customised one-day driven tour through selected areas giving us the opportunity to introduce you to the city of Berlin and providing you with an overview of its many facets.

Although part of our property finding service, the orientation tour is also available as a stand-alone option. This service is particularly useful if you would like to learn more about the various property market elements in Berlin, the areas and opportunities before committing to a full property finding arrangement. Depending on your brief, tours can be tailored to your requirement.

Overseeing Conveyancing

Once a property is secured, we proactively coordinate all parties involved in the process. This ranges from instigating a notary to draft the purchase contract, recommending a solicitor and surveyor to advising on payments and fees due. The aim is to ensure that any transaction proceeds to completion as swiftly as possible.

Hand-Over Procedure and Utilities

We will attend the hand-over of your new property on your behalf or accompany you and conduct a thorough check-through. Upon request we can arrange a specialist surveyor/architect to be present at your cost. Taking care of setting-up contracts with utility and telephone/internet providers as well as dealing with any other potential outstanding issues ensures that your new property is ready for occupancy hassle-free.

Additional Services

Property Management Services

Should you decide to rent out your newly acquired property in Berlin, we offer to manage the entire letting process; from organising inventories and arranging for pre-tenancy cleaning through to handling deposit negotiations once the tenancy has come to an end. Our service includes finding suitable tenants, arranging repairs and maintenance works as well as organising payments of outgoings such as ground rent and service charges. We will be the local contact and represent your interest in all matters relating to the tenancy.

Furnishing for Corporate Rental

If you are buying property in Berlin for investment or future self-occupancy, corporate rental offers the perfect opportunity. You may choose to maximise your return with a short-term furnished apartment solution.

More and more professionals are moving to Berlin for short stays of 1 to 6 months; others commute from their home town for work. They may not wish to furnish a temporary apartment nor stay in a hotel. We offer furnishing-packages which will make your apartment an attractive proposition for rental while you can step away from these challenges, receive higher rental returns and control over the property.

Should you prefer a more individual approach, we can instruct and co-ordinate an interior designer on your behalf.

Our Concierge Service makes life easier for our clients. Be it to take care of every-day chores, organize that special evening or make travel arrangements, our team’s local expertise and knowledge is saving your valuable time. We take on any challenge as long as it is legal and ethical.

From stocking your refrigerator to arranging a cleaner or baby-sitter, we can take care of all these necessary but time-consuming tasks. Our concierge-team can organize your holiday as well as business travel, assist you with restaurant bookings, tickets for concerts, opera or theatre performances- with reliability and discretion.
