An independent view, before you decide.
Buy now or wait? Let or sell? Is this price realistic? You don't need to instruct us to get an honest professional answer. Often one conversation is enough.
“If you don't need something, we'll tell you that too. It's part of the advice.”

The right person for your question
Choose when you book, or leave it to us. If your question spans several areas, two of us join the conversation.
Strategic questions: buy or wait, let or sell, which market.
Practical questions: neighbourhoods, realistic prices, viewings, preparing to sell.
Legal questions: title deed, encumbrances, deposits, draft contracts, procedures abroad.
Choose a time
Choose the kind of conversation you'd like and when suits you. We'll confirm by email and, if needed, agree another time.
About our consulting
Is the 30-minute call really free?
Yes. We don't ask for any payment details, and you don't have to instruct us afterwards. If we suggest further work after the call, we'll send a written proposal.
Is your advice independent if you also sell property?
In a consultation we're not trying to sell you a particular property. If we have an interest in a question, for example when it concerns one of our own listings, we say so up front.
Do you help with legal questions?
Our legal adviser, Dr Georgina Gősi, reviews the documents and explains the contract's risks. The sale contract itself is countersigned by a lawyer, which we coordinate.
Can I consult from abroad?
Yes, by video call. We send documents electronically and you receive the written summary by email.
How much does a detailed review cost?
We set the fee in writing after the introductory call, depending on the scope of the question. You know in advance what the review includes, what it costs and when it's due.
What if I don't want any further services afterwards?
Nothing happens. The written summary is yours to use whenever you like, even if you handle the purchase or sale another way.
