Selling German property to foreign buyers

Our advice when selling a property from German to international buyers is to: 

Present your property well by using good quality photographs. When writing your description always include how close the property is to major transport links such roads, stations and airports. Always consider who the buyer might be. Many overseas buyers buy property as a second home or investment. In this case think about what the property would offer an investor and holidaymaker. Never over price to test the market! This is one of the biggest mistakes owners make when the sell a property online. Buyers will always compare one property against another and the internet makes this easy to do. Always invite people to make an enquiry so they can learn more about the property for sale. Finally consider taking a video of the property to show potential buyers so they can see fully the property.

Legal advice when buying property in German

A few things to note when buying property in Germany.

• The German property market is generally well regulated but there are a few things to look out for
• There is no law regarding commissions on sales, so try to agree the percentage and who will be paying at the start. Germany has a capital gains tax of 25 per cent on anything gained from re-selling the property, exempt on property owned for over 10 years. This may change in the future.
• Laws in Germany favour the tenant over the landlord, and if the property is currently being rented, the tenant cannot be evicted by the new owner before the lease has terminated.
• Germany is part of the European Union but you will need a residence permit to stay for more than three months.
• Never sign a contract that is written in another language that you don’t understand without a translation.
• Don’t miss out or circumvent any legal procedures for cash benefits offered by the buyer
• Research and follow local laws on buying and renting out property
• Always get written confirmation of what has been agreed in any negotiations and always insist on a paper (preferably not electronic) receipt for monies paid
• Check that the seller or property developer owns the title deeds to the property or land and can transfer them to you. If buying brand new, or partially built, from a developer, check that the title deeds for the property in question actually exist
• Check that the deeds to the property or land have not been offered as collateral for any loans
• Check whether the owner has outstanding utility bills, local tax demands etc that you may be liable for on purchase of the property
• Talk to other property owners in the area or on the development to establish if there are any issues you should be aware of before purchasing (such as floods in winter, lack of water or electricity supplies in summer)

Selling a German property don’t forget about your currency

One of our top tips to people selling and buying a property to people from another country is to research currency exchange methods. Property transactions are all vulnerable to foreign currency exchange rates and small fluctuation can mean huge losses. To negate this risk its always wise to take the advice of a foreign currency specialists who can book rates, provide lowers fees and better rates than many banks. Unless you are buying direct from a developer, before the purchase can go ahead you'll almost certainly need to open a bank account in the destination country. The aim is to ensure that you get the best exchange rates and that the funds are in the right place when they are needed. More advice conscerning money tranfers to Germany

Getting along with the German People

Greetings
A handshake is the most frequent way one greets another person. A man waits for a woman to extend her hand before shaking it; in mixed company he shakes a woman’s hand before a man’s. In groups, several people do not shake hands at once; crossing someone else’s handshake is inappropriate. By tradition, only family members and close friends address each other by their first names. Others use titles and surnames, although this is changing among young people.
