Process, turnaround times and fees
From the first enquiry to the explanation at the report meeting: this is how we work with administrators, trustees and creditors – with binding dates and a fixed price you know in advance.
Five steps – built around deadlines
Enquiry & deadline check
By form, e-mail or telephone. You tell us the proceedings, the property, the occasion and the deadline. We come back within one business day with feasibility, approach and a fixed price.
Engagement & power of attorney
Order confirmation stating scope, delivery date and fee. With your power of attorney we obtain the land register extract, building file and official information ourselves.
Documents & inspection
Review of the documents, scheduling of the inspection – also without the debtor, via tenants, property management or your office. Germany-wide, at short notice.
Valuation & model
Valuation, scenarios, cash flow model. Interim status on request, critical assumptions agreed with you before completion.
Handover & explanation
Report as a PDF, model as an Excel file, summary note. Explanation at the report meeting, before the creditors' committee or the bank. Addenda whenever new facts emerge.
What you can expect
Guide figures assuming complete documents. Urgent instructions are prioritised by arrangement; tell us your deadline and we will tell you whether it can be met.

A fixed price you know in advance
After the initial call you receive a fixed price offer for the agreed scope of work. There is no advance payment and there are no additional items afterwards – any change of scope is agreed with you beforehand. The fee depends on property type, value, scope and urgency; for portfolios and for combinations of valuation and planning we apply tiered pricing.
Who bears the cost in the proceedings
- Instructed by the insolvency administrator after proceedings have been opened: The fee is normally an estate liability (§ 55 (1) no. 1 InsO). We invoice the estate and issue the invoice in the form required by the proceedings, including the case reference.
- Preliminary proceedings: Instruction by the preliminary administrator within the scope of their powers; you handle the agreement with the court, and our offer contains all the information needed for it.
- Court appointment: Billed under the German Judicial Remuneration and Compensation Act (JVEG), fee group for land and property valuations, with a record of hours.
- Instructed by creditors, the debtor or investors: The client bears the fee; on request we agree that the estate assumes the cost if the work is later used in the proceedings.
Confidentiality and independence
We work solely on instruction and hold no interests in agents, investors or lenders. On request we sign a non-disclosure agreement before any documents are exchanged. Documents are exchanged through an encrypted data room or through your own system.
