About

Built for people who read the documents

KaufWach is a small team building evidence-based analysis for German residential property. It exists because the documents that decide whether a flat is a good buy — the Energieausweis, the WEG minutes, the Teilungserklärung — are the ones nobody has time to read properly before the viewing.

What we hold ourselves to

  • Every value carries its source

    A number without a document, a page and a confidence score is not an answer. Every field KaufWach fills in can be traced back to the page it came from, and anything below the confidence threshold is flagged rather than quietly guessed.

  • We state the model's limits

    Extraction is done by AI, and AI misreads scans, confuses columns and can produce a figure that was never in the document. We show confidence, keep the original page one click away, and never present generated output as verified fact.

  • Your documents stay yours

    Uploads live in your own tenant, are processed only to produce your analysis, and are never used to train models. Delete a property and everything attached to it goes with it.

Background

Why we built it

A German listing tells you what the seller wants you to know. The Exposé sells the balcony, the Energieausweis sits in a separate PDF, and the WEG minutes — the one document that says what the building will actually cost you over the next ten years — arrive as a scan the evening before the Besichtigung.

Buyers end up doing the same manual work every time: reading sixty pages, copying figures into a spreadsheet, and trying to remember which obligation under the GEG applies to a gas boiler installed in 2004. Most of that is mechanical. It is exactly the kind of work software should do — as long as the software shows where every number came from.

How we work

KaufWach reads what you give it — portal link, Exposé, Energieausweis, floor plan, WEG minutes, photos — and fills a typed property profile with a document, a page and a confidence score behind each value. It then prices what a listing leaves out: purchase costs, energy-driven retrofit obligations, renovation ranges.

What the documents cannot settle becomes a question for the viewing rather than an assumption. The analysis is a starting point for your own due diligence, not a replacement for it — which is why the evidence link sits next to every single field.

Where we are

KaufWach is invite-only while we work with a small group of buyers and Kaufberater across Germany. The product changes weekly, and the people using it decide much of what we build next.

If you are buying in a German market and want to try it on a listing you are actually looking at, tell us where — we will send access.
