Buying a fixer-upper: the alternative to new build

Launch of Secretimmo App, the only application providing access to off-market properties in Luxembourg.
A few months after the launch of their Pocket Estimator, Secretimmo digitalizes, this time, its protocols by proposing a new off-market property sales channel unique in the Grand Duchy: a mobile application available for free on the App Store and Google Play.
Secretimmo's first assessment
After a first year in which we gained valuable experience with the off-market business we have perfected and adapted our various protocols to be able to respond to any type of situation and type of client.
Launch of the Secretimmo Appraisal: a new digital tool designed to fit in your pocket!
Intended for individuals who wish to have an initial idea of the price of their property, the Secretimmo Pocket Appraisal allows them to quickly estimate the indicative value of a house, a flat or a piece of land in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
Third page: earlier publications
The third page collects older articles, many of them tied to a specific moment: a move in interest rates, a tax measure, a shift in how buyers behave in Luxembourg. They remain useful because the market reactions they describe tend to repeat, but they should be read with their publication date in mind.
It also covers practical questions that come up again and again in our conversations: selling land with or without a building contract, valuing an unusual property, handling a sale between several owners, preparing financing before making an offer. Each text stays deliberately concrete and draws on situations met with owners and buyers in the region.
Articles are ordered from the most recent to the oldest. The navigation at the bottom of the page takes you back to recent publications, and the category pills isolate a single theme. If none of the situations described here matches yours, write to us: a short conversation is usually enough to tell whether a discreet sale suits your property.
