Call out the room, speak, photograph. Nota files the rest, does the maths and produces a finished inspection report.
Æstimia Nota is the EU-wide app for property inspections — for appraisers, property managers, investors and asset managers. It works independently, is resilient offline and is currently in beta.
The recorder ran, the notepad is full — and the whole visit is entered by hand a second time at the desk.
Forty images, no context. Which photo belonged to which room, which floor, which unit?
Partial areas, sloping ceilings, balconies, deductions. Arithmetic that requires no judgement but costs the evening.
„An inspection is a walk through the building, not a form.“
You tap the active room — floor, room type, an optional own label. It stays visible until you call out the next one.
Record a voice note as you always do. Nota transcribes it and turns it into checkable suggestions — each with a verbatim quote from your note.
Camera inside the app, category chip, caption. The photo attaches to the active room without you filing it.
The default screen shows exactly these three actions plus “recently captured”. Everything else sits behind “more” — large targets, one-handed operation.
Capture works without a network. Notes, voice recordings, photos, rooms, measurements and protocol fields are stored on the device first and sent later automatically — no duplicates, no overwriting.
The active room carries everything: photos, dictation, notes, floor-plan markers, room measurements. The gallery is grouped by room. Re-filing is possible — but never necessary.
Type room measurements on site and let the living area be calculated under WoFlV — with the calculation path, with the deviation from the documented figure, as a checkable suggestion rather than a silent entry.
Own inspection, statement by a person, or document — the source of knowledge sits on every finding and travels all the way into the report text.
Which fields appear is decided by the property profile. The flow stays the same: walk the property, speak, photograph, take the report with you.
The visit has to carry a market-value appraisal — complete, evidenced and traceable.
Handover, acceptance, tenant change: the protocol should be finished during the appointment and make later disputes provable.
Technical capture of acquisition and portfolio properties without appraisal ambition — ten properties, one structure.
The active room sits in a bar, one tap switches it — recently used rooms or a new one. A room consists of floor, room type and an optional own label. Capturing flat, without rooms, remains allowed.
Voice notes are transcribed and, in a second step, structured into checkable suggestions — not into prose. Categories include building standard, modernisation, input data, special property-specific characteristics (§ 8 ImmoWertV), location notes and rooms.
Every note and finding states where the knowledge came from: own inspection, a statement by a named person, or a document with its designation. The default is your own inspection; one tap changes it.
Type partial areas per room as length × width (× height), choosing area, slope, balcony/terrace or deduction. Numeric keypad, live total per room, fully offline. The calculation core is deterministic.
The camera sits inside the app: category chips plus a free caption. Photos are downscaled on the device, with correct orientation and capture time; the gallery loads thumbnails instead of originals.
Appointment with date, start and end plus running duration, weather (suggested from place and time, overridable) and remarks. Attendees structured with name and role — the report then reads e.g. “Mr Muster (owner)”.
Structure property → unit → room: units with number, position in the building and type; rooms attach to the unit. Labels then read “unit 3 · ground floor · bathroom” — in the bar, the gallery and the report.
Around 40 % of a site visit happens in basements, attics and stairwells without a network. Nota is an installable web app (PWA — added to the home screen straight from the browser, no app store) and built for it.
An address is enough across the EU. Address search and positioning are built in; regional cadastre features are added by country and data availability.
One button, two formats: PDF and Word (DOCX — the Word document format). Generated on the server, shareable straight from the device or as a download. The cover page carries the letterhead from your Æstimia account.
Five profiles govern which fields appear at all. The profile is suggested from the building type and can be switched.
| Profile | For whom | Shows |
|---|---|---|
| Appraisal · detached house | One- and two-family and terraced houses | Appraiser checklist, measurement, documents, suggestions |
| Appraisal · condominium | Condominium (WEG) | plus units, separate and common property |
| Appraisal · apartment building | Multi-family building | plus units, sample flats, rents |
| Handover / management | Flat handover and acceptance | meters, keys, signature — no appraiser checklist, no AI |
| Condition survey | technical capture without appraisal ambition | measurement and documents, without AI suggestions |
Transcription runs on an EU model (Voxtral by Mistral, France); structuring produces suggestions in clearly bounded categories. On request, an EU vision model (Pixtral) also suggests category, room and notable items for a photo.
„…“
Every suggestion quotes the exact passage of your note it relies on.
High, medium or low — capped by the source of knowledge of the finding.
Qualitative as − value-reducing or + value-increasing with extent. Additions and deductions remain your decision.
Accept or discard, always by hand. Nothing is adopted without your approval.
Analysis only starts on request; in the handover and condition-survey profiles it is not shown at all.
Silence does not become text: a guard prevents invented transcripts.
What you say turns into checkable field values with verbatim evidence — not just tidy prose.
Anyone sorting photos at night is using the wrong tool.
Every suggestion has evidence, confidence and a human who approves it. Nota works entirely without AI.
Capture works without a network — and what does not work offline, the app says so beforehand.
Seen, stated or from a document: the source sits in the tool and appears in the text later.
Report at the push of a button and, if you wish, the link to a full market-value appraisal.
The payment provider is a European company (Mollie, Netherlands).
Privacy policy→One Æstimia account covers all apps; sign-in works by email code or link. Organisation and person are maintained once and feed the letterhead and cover page of the report.
Nota works on its own and in full, report included. If you also use Immobilio, the sister app for valuation, you transfer a capture with one click — with a preview of how many photos, notes and accepted suggestions come along and whether an area calculation is included.
If you would also like to use the valuation software Immobilio, both are available in the complete plan — terms on request.
Yes, for capturing. Notes, voice notes, photos, rooms, measurements and protocol fields are stored on the device and sent automatically once there is a network again — without duplicates. AI, cadastre, report and transfer need a network; the app says so.
No. Nota can be used on its own, report included. Connecting to valuation is an offer, not a prerequisite.
Nota is an installable web app (PWA) added to the home screen straight from the browser — on iPhone and Android.
No. Analysis only starts on request, in two property profiles it is not shown at all, and Nota can be operated entirely by hand.
In the EU (Frankfurt am Main). The AI models run at a European provider (Mistral, France).
It produces suggestions with a verbatim quote from your note and a confidence level. It awards no Annex 2 points and no euro amounts; only what you approve is adopted.
Yes, under WoFlV from the room measurements captured on site — with the calculation path, with the deviation from the documented figure, and as a checkable suggestion instead of a silent entry.
German cadastre features currently cover North Rhine-Westphalia, Saxony and Berlin. In other EU regions you work address-based; further regional data connections will follow gradually.
Yes. The protocol merges field by field, two devices do not overwrite each other. In a team there are roles (owner, appraiser, staff member); only owners and appraisers export reports.
Yes — in the “handover” profile with meter readings including photo evidence, key list and signature on site (simple electronic signature).
49 € per month, cancellable monthly; per seat in a team. If you would also like the valuation software Immobilio, both come in the complete plan — terms on request.
Nota is in beta, usable in the field, designed for EU-wide use and under active development.
Via “Request beta access” — we activate the account. There is currently no self-registration with instant checkout.
No. Managers use the “handover” profile (meters, keys, signature), investors and portfolio holders the “condition survey”. The flow is the same, the fields shown differ.
We activate your account and accompany your first captures.
