Frequently Asked Questions

Your questions

What do I need to bear in mind when selling my house?

Ensure that all documents are complete, your property is in good condition, and the selling price is set at a realistic level. An experienced real estate agent can provide you with optimal support in this regard.

What steps do I need to take if I want to sell a house?

  1. Determine the value of the property: Have a professional appraisal carried out.

  2. Compile documents: These include a current extract from the land register, a valid energy performance certificate, and construction documents, etc.

  3. Engage a real estate agent: An agent will help you market the property in the best possible way and screen interested parties.

  4. Have the purchase agreement notarized: Once negotiations have been concluded, an appointment with a notary is required.

  5. Transfer the property to the buyer: Once the purchase price has been paid in full, a handover date is recorded.

What do I have to disclose when selling a house?

You must disclose all essential information regarding the property, such as defects, damage, missing building permits, planned construction measures, etc. Professional and transparent communication builds trust among potential buyers.

What must you never conceal when selling a house?

Relevant defects or damage, such as moisture damage or missing building permits, must not be concealed. Malicious concealment of such information can lead to claims for damages and even to the reversal of the purchase contract.

What causes price reductions for real estate?

Basically, defects such as water damage, outdated technical systems, or the need for energy-efficient modernization reduce the price. Deficits in terms of location or poor general condition can also reduce the value.
