First steps: Assessing the property and your situation
Before deciding what to do, it's essential to understand the full picture. What is the condition of the property? Are all documents available? Are there co-heirs or existing obligations such as mortgages or tenancy agreements? Together with you, we analyze the current situation and help you bring structure to the process.
Professional property valuation for clarity and orientation
A key element in any decision is the current market value of the property. Our experts provide a professional valuation based on location, condition, features, and the specifics of the central Ruhr region. This gives you a reliable foundation to decide whether to keep, rent out, or sell the property.
Sell, rent, or move in? Understanding your options
An inherited property opens up several possibilities. Some heirs plan to live in the home themselves, while others consider renting it out or selling. We provide clear and personalized advice on all options, tailored to your personal and financial situation. Our interdisciplinary network is also on hand to advise you on tax implications, renovation potential, or sustainable upgrades.
