Gifting property: costs and valuations

Last updated: 5. June 2020 | Reading time: 1 minute

This depends, amongst other things, on the value of the property in conjunction with the tax allowances. It is advisable to seek advice from a tax adviser or chartered accountant, bearing in mind the associated costs.

In any case, there will be notary and land registry fees, which currently amount to up to 2 per cent of the property’s market value. Costs for a valuation may also be incurred in order to determine the market value. A thorough market value assessment is very often advisable in order to demonstrate the value of the gift to the tax authorities beyond any doubt.

RIEDEL Immobilien offers a comprehensive service in this regard, in collaboration with tax advisers and notaries, whereby market value reports in accordance with Section 194 of the German Building Code (BauGB) can be prepared by an in-house, accredited valuer (certified to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17024).
