About kode
Why kode exists
Property owners know their homes better than anyone, but selling brings questions most people rarely have to think about: What should I check? What does the buyer need to know? What could cause problems later? Professional help exists, but sellers should also have access to clear, practical guidance that helps them understand the process and make informed decisions themselves.
Hidden defects are one of the areas sellers told us they worry about most. Our first solution guides apartment owners through what to check, helps them understand what may need to be disclosed, and turns that information into a clear document for the sale.
How it started
kode started during our management studies at TalTech, when we were asked to find a real problem worth solving. Our ideas ranged from solving the problem of sour cream always expiring at the most inconvenient moment (still a running joke between us) to something far more serious: the legal and financial risk of hidden defects in property sales. We wanted to understand why this risk was so difficult for property owners to navigate. The topic became personal too: Sarah had experienced defects after buying her apartment and was now considering selling, seeing the same uncertainty from the seller’s side. We spoke with sellers, buyers and professionals, explored the existing options and both dedicated our final projects in our management studies to different parts of the property-selling problem. The more we learned, the more convinced we became that there was a better way to support sellers. What started as a university project became the foundation for kode. We left our jobs and started building it full time.

See what each tool does, what it costs and whether it is useful for you before you buy. No calls, quotes or sales conversations required.
Not every part of a property sale requires expensive professional support. kode focuses on solving specific problems with practical tools at a reasonable price.
kode does not take over the sale. We give property owners the guidance, information and tools they need to handle the process themselves.
