A thorough check
Property leasing is gaining in importance in many sectors of the economy.
Whether it be office buildings or warehouses: leasing instead of buying gives
companies greater investment and planning security. But regular checks of the
premises are necessary for the owner to be sure that the value of his property
is not being diminished. The VR Leasing Group relies on DEKRA experts for this.
A proven partnership
VR Leasing AG, which belongs to the
finance alliance of the Volksbanken and
Raiffeisenbanken group in Germany,
is one of the leading leasing companies
in Europe. It offers the full range of
movable and immovable lease objects,
supplemented by extensive services.
One such commercial property service
is having trained experts monitor the
condition of leased buildings. VR
Leasing has been working closely for
years now with DEKRA Real Estate
Expertise in this field. The Saarbrückenbased
building specialists are engaged
by VR Leasing to examine selected properties
such as warehouses and assembly
plants, large supermarkets, bank, administration
and factory buildings.
Prevention which pays
dividends
Each specified property is visited by
the DEKRA building experts in a fixed
schedule and subjected to a thorough
check. The resulting reports provide a
detailed picture of the structural state
of the property. All faults are noted,
photographed and costed.
This gives the lessor – VR Leasing or
other property companies – a regular
snapshot of the current state of its property
holdings. The examination by
DEKRA Real Estate Expertise provides
information on whether the lessee is
maintaining the building properly and
helps determine, in good time, when
repair work needs to be carried out. If
this is not being carried out, the lessor
can take appropriate measures.
This form of prevention – security provided
by a neutral report – ultimately
pays dividends for all concerned because
it prevents consequential damage
and therefore avoids legal disputes. It is
scarcely surprising, therefore, that VR
Leasing has already enlisted the services
of the DEKRA Real Estate Expertise
experts to carry out examinations on
over one hundred properties.
