Rising prices make a real estate purchase more and more expensive. Especially with regard to the purchase price buyers can rarely expect a discount due to high demand. The situation is much better for ancillary costs.

What many do not know: above all, a lot of money can be saved when it comes to notary costs.

1. Let the notary help you directly with the drafting of the sales contract and not additionally by a lawyer or a tax consultant. You have to pay for the notary work in any case – his fee is regulated by law.

Transfer the real estate purchase price directly to the buyer

2- As a rule the purchase price is deposited in a so-called notary escrow account. The notary manages the amount in trust until it has been officially entered in the land register. Only then does the amount go to the seller.

For this service the notary demands a lifting fee. You can save yourself this intermediate step by bindingly regulating the payment conditions in the sales contract.

For a long time Germany was considered a country where houses are barely more expensive. The real estate hype since the 1990s was elsewhere: in the US, UK or Spain. But this decade, German apartments and houses suddenly become more expensive. Researchers are now finding that this drastically increases the differences between rich and poor. While millions of Germans suffer from higher rents, more than half of the wealth gains go into the pockets of the ten percent richest. This result of a study should further fuel the housing debate in the country.

In the past ten years, house prices in the largest cities of Berlin, Hamburg and Munich rose by 90 percent. This means that German wealth has increased by almost three trillion euros since 2011, adjusted for inflation. A huge amount, a trillion more than the entire national debt. In countries such as the US or Italy, where a large number of residents own houses, such a real estate boom is benefiting large masses. As prices rise, inequality in the population tends to decrease.

The federal and state governments have agreed on certain cornerstones for a new regulation of property tax. Against the currently favored value-dependent model, in which the age of buildings and the average rental costs are the basis of assessment, comes now from Bavaria resistance, where a surface model is required. The amendment until the end of 2019 was demanded by the Federal Constitutional Court, as the current regulations are completely outdated. The bases of assessment originate in the old federal states from the 1960 years, in the new federal states even from the 1920s.
