Hello everyone, today around midday my wife’s grandmother called and said we could go see a house tomorrow. An acquaintance is moving into a care home and is selling her house. Apparently, there are already a few interested parties, but the lady knew that we are also looking and wants to give us priority.
At the moment, we don’t have any photos or information about the construction year, asking price, or anything similar. I’m currently reading up on what to pay particular attention to during a house viewing. I won’t be able to get a professional inspector on short notice. I think we will definitely bring someone along later if we like the house. Long story short, what should I absolutely find out and what should I watch for? This is our very first house viewing.
Basic details: village (2,000 inhabitants) in the Lake Constance region – so, as you might expect, a very limited supply everywhere.
Thanks for any tips that even a layperson can check.

Good advice 🙂
The "actually" is mainly because we have never really done a full calculation before. Now we are going through everything properly to see what kind of loan we could get. I’m treating this as a dry run for now.The price asked doesn’t seem unreasonable to me based on the pictures, especially considering the large plot and the renovated bathrooms, as well as the proximity to Lake Constance.
I must admit, I’m surprised that you’re only now doing the calculations and checking what kind of loan you can get.
But it’s good to see you’re taking it in stride 🙂
Best regards

Just a quick update for those interested. After such a long time, we finally received a price quote. It’s €610,000.
... If you find out at what price the property actually sells, I would be interested.
The price seems fair to even favorable for the area, if I check (once again) on Immowelt (ID 2ZAZW43 or ID 2ZE354J).

Year built / living area / plot size…?
