Partner provides Building Survey and property condition advisory services across Germany, supporting commercial real estate transactions, portfolio due diligence, and asset management strategies nationwide.
Germany’s building stock is diverse, ranging from historic and post-war assets to modern, technically complex developments, all subject to stringent building regulations and performance requirements. Partner supports investors, lenders, developers, and asset managers by delivering independent, clearly structured building surveys focused on identifying physical condition, technical risk, and capital expenditure considerations that are material to value and long-term performance.
Building Survey Services Overview
Building Surveys are undertaken to provide an objective assessment of a property’s physical condition and technical performance. In Germany, these surveys are commonly commissioned to support:
- Property acquisitions and disposals
- Financing and lender requirements
- Portfolio-level technical due diligence
- Asset management and refurbishment planning
Our surveys are proportionate to the asset, transaction context, and intended use, ensuring findings are practical, relevant, and decision-focused.
Scope of Building Surveys
Building Surveys undertaken across Germany typically include a review of the following elements, where applicable:
- Structural elements and primary building fabric
- External envelope, façades, and roofing systems
- Mechanical, electrical, and life-safety systems
- Internal finishes and common areas
- Basements, underground structures, and below-ground elements
Surveys identify immediate repair requirements, longer-term maintenance considerations, and areas where further specialist investigation may be appropriate.
Engineering-Led Insight
Partner’s Building Surveys in Germany are supported by engineering expertise, allowing for targeted technical input where buildings incorporate complex systems, specialist construction methods, or phased development histories.
This integrated approach ensures clients receive not only a clear assessment of a building’s current condition but also practical insight into managing risk, prioritising investment, and optimising long-term asset performance.
Property Types and Market Experience
Partner provides Building Survey services across Germany for a wide range of property types, including commercial office, industrial, logistics, mixed-use developments, residential assets, and large-scale development projects.
Surveys consider both design intent and operational use, reflecting the technical and regulatory context in which German assets are developed, occupied, and managed.
Local Leadership and Coordination
Building Survey services across Germany are supported by Dervis Göksal, who serves as Partner’s primary point of contact for the German market. Dervis works closely with investors, lenders, developers, and asset managers to ensure surveys are delivered in line with German regulatory requirements, local market practice, and client objectives.
Dervis coordinates delivery across Partner’s German and European platform, supporting single-asset transactions, portfolio-level engagements, and cross-border investments.
