There are three standardised methods for determining the value of real estate in Germany: the comparative value method, the capitalised earnings value method and the asset value method. The aim of the valuation is to determine the market value of the property.

This depends on the income situation as well as the use. In other words, whether the property is acquired for own use or as an investment.

When buying a property, you must expect the following ancillary acquisition costs: Land transfer tax, notary and land registry fees, brokerage fees and bank charges.

The buyer can often incorporate his or her own ideas regarding the interior and room design.

Before buying a property, the building fabric and building services should be examined in detail. In the case of houses, the building must be thoroughly examined from the outside. Are the facade, windows and doors in order? Is there a need for repair? The gutters, downpipes and exterior lighting should also be considered.
