This article shows you how to find the optimal surveyor and the advantages that the cooperation between insurance partners and Auctoa offers.
The role of insurance partners in the event of a claim
Insurance partners are your first point of contact in the event of a claim. They ensure swift and uncomplicated claims settlement by recording the damage, initiating necessary steps, and referring competent surveyors. Efficient claims handling saves time and hassle, ensuring you can resume normal operations quickly. Auctoa supports insurance partners in finding the appropriate surveyor for each claim, to ensure an objective and well-founded assessment.
The necessity of independent and qualified surveyors (experts)
Independent and qualified surveyors are essential for objective damage assessment. They secure evidence, compile a detailed report, and lay the groundwork for fair compensation payments. An expert surveyor assesses the damage impartially, taking all relevant factors into account to guarantee a realistic evaluation. This is particularly important to avoid disputes and achieve a swift resolution. The role of surveyors is therefore crucial for fair claims settlement.
The choice of the right expert depends on the type of damage and the purpose of the assessment. There are different types of experts, distinguished by their qualifications, specialisation, and area of application. Insurance partners and Auctoa help you find the right expert for your specific needs.
Sworn experts (publicly appointed and sworn)
Sworn experts are highly regarded and possess special expertise and neutrality. They are examined and publicly appointed and sworn by appointing bodies (IHK, HWK). Their assessments are legally sound and recognised by courts and authorities. The public appointment and swearing is a seal of quality, signifying reliability and dependability. Experts of this type are particularly important when it comes to legal disputes.
Independent experts
Independent experts offer flexibility and specialisation. They are not publicly appointed and sworn, but may have a high level of expertise in certain areas. They are particularly suitable for out-of-court evaluations and consultations. It is important to look for proof of qualifications such as master craftsman diplomas or academic degrees to ensure the competence of the expert. Insurance partners and Auctoa carefully check the qualifications of independent experts to ensure a high standard of quality.
Specialist experts
Specialist experts possess specialist knowledge in niche areas such as monument protection or energy efficiency. They are particularly relevant for special cases of damage that require deep expertise. Insurance partners and Auctoa work with a network of specialist experts to offer you the best possible expertise even in complex cases. Searching for certified experts can be crucial here.
Selecting a trustworthy appraiser is crucial for a fair and objective damage assessment. There are various criteria you should consider when making your choice. Insurance partners and Auctoa assist you in finding the right expert and minimizing risks.
Qualifications and Certifications
Pay attention to the qualifications and certifications of the appraiser. Public appointment and swearing-in are a seal of approval representing high expertise and neutrality. A certification according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17024 (DAkkS) is another testament to the appraiser's competence. Relevant professional experience and specialization are also important criteria. Insurance partners and Auctoa carefully check the qualifications of appraisers to ensure you receive high quality. The DIN EN ISO/IEC 17024 certification is a key aspect.
References and Recommendations
Use references and recommendations to get an insight into the quality of the appraiser. Testimonials from other clients can provide valuable indications. However, you should critically evaluate recommendations from insurance partners to ensure that the appraiser is independent and objective. Auctoa offers you a transparent overview of the qualifications and experiences of the appraisers to help you with your decision. It is essential to find trustworthy appraisers.
Transparency and Communication
A trustworthy appraiser is characterized by transparency and open communication. They should clearly explain their methodology and assumptions and present their documentation in an understandable manner. A closing discussion to explain the appraisal is also important. Insurance partners and Auctoa value transparent communication and support you with any questions and uncertainties. Photo documentation and sketches can further clarify the facts. The transparency in methodology and documentation is critical.
A structured assessment process is key to efficient and transparent claims handling. From commissioning to completion of the report, various steps must be carried out diligently. Insurance partners and Auctoa guide you through the entire process, ensuring everything runs smoothly.
Formal Agreements and Documentation
Before commencing the assessment, clear formal agreements should be made and documented. This includes settling financial aspects, determining the required documents (land register excerpts, construction documents), and providing a detailed description of the process. Insurance partners and Auctoa assist you in drafting the necessary agreements and ensure transparent documentation. Clear agreements prevent misunderstandings and ensure a smooth process. The importance of formal agreements should not be underestimated.
Required Documents and Information
Complete documents and information are essential for an accurate evaluation. These include land register excerpts, site plans, construction documents, and renovation certificates. Insurance partners and Auctoa support you in compiling the necessary documents and ensure that all relevant information is available to the surveyor. The more complete the documents, the more accurately the surveyor can assess the damage. Document preparation is a crucial step.
The Assessment Procedure
The assessment procedure includes inspecting the damage site, analysing and evaluating the situation, and preparing the report. The surveyor documents the damage, analyses the causes, and assesses the impacts. Insurance partners and Auctoa accompany the surveyor during the assessment and are available to answer your questions. A detailed and comprehensible report is the basis for fair claims settlement. The surveyor's costs should be clarified in advance.
The legal aspects and standards for experts vary by country. In Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, there are different regulations to be observed. Insurance partners and Auctoa are familiar with the respective standards and ensure that all legal requirements are met.
Germany
In Germany, publicly appointed and sworn experts are prioritized (§ 404 ZPO). The DIN EN ISO/IEC 17024 certification serves as proof of qualification. The remuneration of court experts is based on the JVEG. Insurance partners and Auctoa only work with experts who meet these standards. The legal aspects in Germany are clearly regulated.
Austria
In Austria, there are court-appointed experts with an expert ID. Recertification is required every five years with proof of continuing education.

Switzerland
In Switzerland, experts have access rights to files and evidence recordings. They are obliged to maintain professional confidentiality.

When selecting a surveyor, there are several pitfalls to avoid. Lack of independence, insufficient expertise, and unclear agreements can lead to problems. Insurance partners and Auctoa help you minimise these risks and make an informed decision.
Lack of Independence and Objectivity
