Initial refurbishment consultation
Do you own a vacant property or are you considering buying one?
The topic of building and renovation is often associated with a certain degree of uncertainty for laypeople and raises many questions:
- How good is the existing building fabric?
- What subsidies are available?
- How much does a renovation cost?
- How do I deal with listed buildings?
- How do I approach an energy-efficient refurbishment?
- How can I adapt the existing building to contemporary (living) requirements?
In order to clarify these questions and to give you more security, we offer an initial refurbishment consultation by experts.
