Frequently asked questions about selling property
The selling period depends on various factors such as location, condition, price, and demand. On average, a property sale takes between 4 and 16 weeks. Professional marketing and a realistic pricing strategy can often speed up the selling process.
A good time to sell is always when demand is high and your property is optimally prepared. In principle, properties can be sold successfully all year round. The decisive factors are the current market situation, the correct pricing, and professional presentation.
For a successful property sale, you will need, among other things, an extract from the land register, an energy performance certificate, building plans, living space calculations, and, if applicable, deeds of division or rental agreements. We will support you in compiling all the necessary documents and check them for completeness.
The actual market value of a property is determined by various factors such as location, size, condition, amenities, and the current market situation. A professional property valuation will give you a realistic assessment of the selling price and provide the basis for a successful sale.
