Industry
Real Estate / PropTech
Geography
Germany — Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Cologne, Stuttgart + 50 cities
Data Coverage
Property listings, prices, rental yields, energy certificates, location analytics, agent data
Actowiz Solutions built a real-estate data aggregation pipeline for a German PropTech startup — combining ImmobilienScout24, Immowelt, and Immonet listings into a unified investor-grade dataset covering buy and rental inventory across Germany's major cities.
Client Overview
The client is a Munich-based PropTech startup serving German property investors and renters with an AI-powered property analysis platform. Their underwriting depended on continuous, multi-source listing data — including prices, rental yields, energy certificates (Energieausweis), and location-level analytics.
ImmobilienScout24 dominates German property search, with Immowelt and Immonet providing complementary coverage. Triangulating all three is essential for completeness.
Business Challenges
Anti-Bot Defences
ImmobilienScout24 uses meaningful anti-bot protection — basic scrapers fail within hours.
Listing Deduplication
Same property often listed across multiple portals by different agents with varied photos and descriptions.
Energy Certificate Parsing
German listings include Energieausweis data (energy efficiency class); this affected value and required structured parsing.
Kaltmiete vs Warmmiete Complexity
German rentals distinguish base rent (Kaltmiete) and total rent including utilities (Warmmiete) — yield calculation required handling both.
Project Objectives
The client partnered with Actowiz Solutions to:
-
Aggregate ImmobilienScout24, Immowelt & Immonet listings across German cities
-
Deduplicate listings via German address normalisation
-
Parse Energieausweis (energy certificate) data
-
Compute rental yields handling Kaltmiete/Warmmiete distinction
-
Deliver investor-grade structured data via REST API
