Engel & Völkers cooperates with service provider Enter: Energy advice for homeowners in Germany

Advantages of energy consulting with Enter

This collaboration between two leading companies in their field is a first in the German real estate market. The service has several advantages for owners:

• In the event of a planned sale, an individual refurbishment roadmap (iSFP) increases the chances of a sale, as interested parties want to know whether they will need to invest in refurbishment measures after purchasing the house and, if so, to what extent.

• As part of the energy consultation with iSFP, owners without the intention of selling receive an overview of the measures they can take to increase the value of their home and benefit from energy savings.

• Refurbishment measures can be better planned because the iSFP specifies the sensible sequence and reveals how the costs and benefits of each individual measure relate to each other.

Refurbishment roadmap also important for buyers

Buyers of a property also benefit if they purchase a house for which an iSFP has been drawn up. In addition to clarity about the condition of the property, the renovation roadmap makes it easier to obtain a loan. This is because banks now also take into account the energy status of a house or the development potential of the property when offering financing.

This is what energy consulting with Enter includes

Enter's services include customized energy advice, the creation of an individual renovation roadmap (iSFP), a complete subsidy service and access to a network of tradespeople with the option of comparing individual offers on the Enter platform.

Energy efficiency influences the value of a home

Whereas in the past it was always “location, location, location” when asked about the value of a property, today the formula is: “location, location, energy efficiency”. The latter is now clearly reflected in the price: unrenovated detached houses are often offered on the market at a significantly lower price than those in a good state of renovation.
