We have already told the real estate agent that we would like to buy the house. However, we still want to negotiate the price with the seller. That’s why I have already contacted three energy consultants to see how they can help us assess the property and provide us with the costs of the renovation. After that, we will be a lot wiser. I expect to receive an offer today or tomorrow. I’m curious to see how much the initial assessment alone will cost...

I’m with you on that, no pictures online, sorry



Unless they are architects who also work as energy consultants (by the way, not every "energy consultant" is certified to support KFW efficiency houses), they will at most be able to tell you something about energy-related measures. And even if they happen to have a bit more experience with the construction sector (not chimney sweeps ), they will at best give you a rough estimate without guarantee (!). In case of doubt, there are more reliable statements here in the forum.

If anything, you need an expert for building damage, or an architect with a few decades of professional experience under their belt.
But if you really want to turn the place upside down, I wouldn’t worry too much. Check the basement for moisture (loose/missing plaster, peeling/new paint, fogging, musty smell, etc.), also check the roof for damage in the framework caused by insects and the facade for large cracks (including those that have been repaired).
In my opinion, that’s about all even someone with expertise can check without damaging the structure, and most components will be replaced anyway.
Or does it matter to you whether the expert would still leave the windows in for another 10 years?

Hi Niloa,

I can really only recommend an energy consultant to you for such a major renovation.

We did everything through Eveecon back then. They have a huge network of energy consultants and also take care of applying for funding from KfW or BAFA for you. Everything worked great and really saved us some costs and nerves.

Have you already received offers? I would be very interested to know how much they differ.

Hello, the day before yesterday we were at the house with a civil engineer who can also apply for the KfW funding. Now we are waiting for the cost estimate. Whether we will request another one, I do not know yet.
