The "hereditary lease" is prohibited by law in Germany today. Colloquially, however, the "Erbbaurecht" is often referred to as "Erbpacht". A "hereditary building right" is a right equivalent to real property which is formed in a separate "hereditary building right land register".

Land and rights equivalent to land (e.g. heritable building rights) are a delimited part of the earth's surface (§ 905 BGB) and are registered in the land register.

The exact amount of equity to be contributed depends on the financial and income situation of the potential buyer as well as the location and risk profile 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.

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.
