We are as multicultural and multilingual as the World itself. What does that mean? We offer contracts in different languages (German and English to start with) and that’s the first tick.
Thanks to Urban Ground’s unprecedented levels of customer centric approach, we enable the prospects to have a virtual tour of the apartment and video calls too, if required. This eliminates the problem of viewing in person.
Lastly, a German credit history was a problem and we tackled by accepting the equivalent documents from the country of origin or the home country.
- Urban Ground helps you with things like internet, electricity, insurance, etc., as running around for these is quite a task

Our journey - How it all started
It all began in 2017, when our founders Praneel and Alessandro relocated to Berlin from India & Italy. It was a humongous task to hunt a place in Berlin, which they can call home. After a lifetime spent in queues waiting for their turn to view the apartments they found it uncomfortable to make peace with their home hunting experience.
- Why can’t we make the whole home hunting process a bit simpler and much more delightful?
- Why should one kill the excitement of moving to a new place as an expat, on a simple thing as renting a home in Berlin is like searching for an oasis in the desert?
- And so in 2017 they decided to challenge the status quo and started working on a concept that can help people to find a new home without the hassles of endless viewing queues, myriad of documents and to make it worse a contract in German language only.
