										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Buying Commercial Property &#8211; Are you looking to buy a retail business, medical practice, law office space, industrial property or entire technology parks? Avoid bad investments and make the right decisions, right from the start. Buying commercial real estate is an investment for start-ups and business owners. The company grows in the new property. Location and selection criteria are of the commercial property set the course for the future of the company. By the way, you can find the great free guide to <a href="https://lukinski.com/buy-luxury-real-estates-facts-prices-the-most-expensive-cities/" data-type="post" data-origin="de" data-origin-url="https://lukinski.de/luxusimmobilie-kaufen-fakten-preise-teuersten-staedte/" data-id="19027">buying real estate</a> here.</p>
<h2>Reaching the goal with the needs and investment analysis</h2>
<p>Like private real estate, the price of <a href="https://lukinski.de/gewerbeimmobilien-makler-beauftragen-sinnvoll/">commercial real estate</a> has risen significantly in recent years. In view of the capital value development, it can be assumed that prices will continue to rise. We recommend a comprehensive needs and investment analysis in preparation for the purchase of commercial real estate:</p>
<ul>
<li>What type of commercial property is being considered. What is it needed for?</li>
<li> What are the requirements for the property and what characteristics must it have?</li>
<li> What is the available budget?</li>
</ul>
<h2>Site selection: Decisive for success</h2>
<p>Which location is ideal for the company? What benefits can and should the new location bring to the firm? If you operate a law firm and clients call on you, ample parking might be required in a downtown location. In suburban areas, good access to public transportation may be required. If you sell products to your customers, having a storefront in a pedestrian area can be critical to success. If you only need a warehouse, the commercial property may well be purchased in convenient city locations.</p>
<p>For manufacturing companies that receive regular deliveries and deliveries, good transport connections are crucial. Driving bans may be issued for journeys through residential areas. Also consider any weight and height restrictions on vehicles if, for example, bridges have to be passed on the approach. There must be sufficient space on and around the site for turning. Parking spaces for employees must also be planned for.</p>
<h3>Buying or renting: Which is more worth it? &#8211; Video</h3>
<p>In this video from financial flow (Youtube), the interesting question is asked: Buy or Rent? A key question for those buying their first commercial property. By the way, you can also find more tips on buying here:</p>

</ul>
<h2>Deciding on the right object</h2>
<p>We support you in narrowing down the offers. Our experience across all industries ensures you the best possible location for your company, practice or law firm. We not only identify the requirements of the property, but also evaluate this from a professional perspective. As an experienced broker, we realistically assess the potential of the properties on offer.</p>
<h3>Check legal aspects</h3>
<p>Look very carefully at the property&#8217;s use permissions. This can result in considerable restrictions on use. For example, it is forbidden to set up a production business in a business premises. The entitlement to use the property as a commercial property results from the planning permission, but this can be changed under certain circumstances. Please contact us if you have any questions regarding the construction method, building permit and the right of use of commercial properties.</p>
<p>The ideal commercial property fits the requirements of your company in terms of its floor space layout, statics, lighting and room height. Is the available office space, storage space and sales space sufficient in the long term? Can production be accommodated in the premises?</p>
<p>In addition, there are the calculations for room height, statics and floor load-bearing capacity if heavier machines are used in production. The supply of water, electricity, including <a href="https://lukinski.com/power-connection-laying-three-phase-alternating-current-stove-costs/" data-type="post" data-origin="de" data-origin-url="https://lukinski.de/starkstromanschluss-dreiphasenwechselstrom-verlegen-herd-kosten/" data-id="43985">high-voltage connections</a>, must be secured, as must <a href="https://lukinski.com/heating-solar-oil-gas-heat-pump-pellets-comparison-costs-state-subsidies/" data-type="post" data-origin="de" data-origin-url="https://lukinski.de/heizung-solar-oel-gas-warmepumpe-pellets-kosten-arten-staatliche-foerderung/" data-id="30545">heating systems</a>, sanitary facilities and parking facilities for customers and employees. If important conversions are necessary after the purchase, this not only costs money but also time and delays the start of the operational activity.</p>
<h3>Assessing the potential</h3>
<p>We assess the potential of your future commercial property. Avoid bad investments, expensive conversions and lengthy legal disputes. Good real estate agents prepare a <a href="https://lukinski.de/value-appraisal-apartment-house-apartment-building-real-estate-appraisal/" data-type="post" data-origin="de" data-origin-url="https://lukinski.de/wertgutachten-wohnung-haus-mehrfamilienhaus-immobilienbewertung/" data-id="43716">fair market value appraisal</a> for the commercial property and advise you with industry knowledge on the requirements and legal specifications for your company. Together we will consider exactly what criteria the new company building needs to meet, and then find the best deals on the market for you.</p>
<h3>Outdoor advertising and customer stoppers</h3>
<p>In principle, every entrepreneur has the right to advertise publicly in order to draw attention to himself. Customer stoppers, which are large poster holders that draw attention to special offers, are not only part of the business in pedestrian zones. However, an official permit is usually required for setting up these customer stoppers. If the public street space is used for business purposes, a special use permit must be applied for. The public order office is responsible for issuing the permit.</p>
<p>Public traffic space includes not only roads, but also other paths and places used by the general public, such as pedestrians and cyclists. As soon as this is to be used by the company, an official permit is required. We will be happy to check for you to what extent the chosen object meets your requirements. If you wish, we will be happy to apply for the necessary permits and licences for you as a precaution.</p>
<h3>Who needs a restaurant license?</h3>
<p>Is your own restaurant or café a long-cherished dream? Before pizza, kebab, steak or café latte are served to the customer, the targeted commercial property has to face some questions. In order to operate a restaurant, a corresponding permit must be obtained from the responsible authority &#8211; in official German, this is the restaurant license. This is the first step in proving personal and professional suitability. At the same time, it must also be proven that the commercial premises are suitable for a restaurant. The latter is proven with the floor plan, which shows that the commercial building has sufficient space, parking, kitchen and sanitary facilities.</p>
<h2>Use of the pavement by your company</h2>
<p>In the catering business especially in demand, are the outdoor seats of the commercial property. In summer, pizza, coffee and snacks are preferably served outdoors. Walk-in customers are to be attracted by the inviting outdoor decoration. A special use permit is required for advertising, assortment and outdoor seating on the sidewalk. We will review and assess which commercial properties are appropriate for your project.</p>
<p>When granting permission, the authority generally weighs up the width of the footpath and the existing open spaces. A minimum width must remain for pedestrians. The requirements vary depending on the municipality. We check for you whether the public order office approves the planned use.</p>
<p>In any case, a special use for the sidewalk must be applied for. Advertising signs, tables and chairs do not count as so-called public use. Therefore &#8211; even with sufficient width &#8211; a special use must always be applied for.</p>
<h3>KfW promotional programmes for companies</h3>
<p>As a state development bank, <a href="https://lukinski.com/kfw-for-the-financing-of-domestic-subsidies/" data-type="post" data-origin="de" data-origin-url="https://lukinski.de/kfw/" data-id="44337">KfW Bank</a> grants loans to the liberal professions, SMEs and start-ups. Low interest rates, grace years and long terms are tailored to the needs of companies. In addition to the KfW promotional loan, companies can also obtain the ERP Start-up Loan for low-interest financing.</p>
<p>A start-up grant is paid by the employment office. Other funding options include KfW Startgeld and ERP capital for start-ups and companies that have been in existence for less than three years.</p>
<h2>Sell commercial property</h2>
<p>You want to buy one property and sell another and are looking for a partner to carry out the sale for you? Commercial property sales involve large sums of money and the greatest expertise in vetting the potential buyer. What type of business is the property suitable for? Is it a property in a commercial area or are you offering a property in mixed use areas? What land value can be achieved and at what price per square metre are similar commercial properties in your location selling? These are all questions that can only be answered by a detailed analysis in commercial <a href="https://lukinski.com/sell-real-estate-property-condo-house-apartment-buildings/" data-type="post" data-origin="de" data-origin-url="https://lukinski.de/immobilie-verkaufen-wohnung-haus-villa-mehrfamilienhaus-ablauf-kosten-tipps/" data-id="29641">property sales</a>.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Property &amp; Divorce &#8211; Separation from one&#8217;s partner is not easy for anyone. Even for those who have separated from their spouse, the new life situation is something completely foreign. The longer the partnership and the connection existed, the more difficult it is to adjust the own structures to the new life situation. Of course, it is even more complicated with children, who also suffer from the divorce. But it also gets really complicated with real estate. What if your spouse wants to stay in the house? How can the property be sold? Or is it better to rent out the property? Tips on the subject of real estate and divorce!</p>
<h2>Sell the property or&#8230; rent it out?! Do what?!</h2>
<p>Selling before, during or after the divorce is finalized.</p>
<h3>Divorce Procedure</h3>
<p>Divorce Process &#8211; Petition, Pension Equalization &amp; Appointment &#8211; The process of a divorce depends significantly on whether it is contested or amicable. Consensual divorces can be final within minutes at the family court, while contested divorces often drag on for months.</p>

</ul>
<h3>Divorce: What happens to my property</h3>
<p>Those who decide to get married and marry, in most cases, intend to spend life with their spouse forever and share everything that belongs to them. When getting married, no one thinks about the fact that there will eventually be a divorce and possibly even a dispute over belongings. But in 2017, the divorce rate in Germany was over 36 percent, which shows that unfortunately not all marriages last forever. Often cheating, daily life including routine or even financial problems are the reasons for divorce.</p>
<h4>Questions, answers, tips and procedure for separation</h4>
<p>When a divorce leads to a home sale, you should be well informed. Are you in the process of a divorce or would you like to file for one? Ideally, you have the opportunity to talk reasonably and objectively about the separation with the partner to be divorced? Then the question now becomes: who owns what? If you own a joint property such as a house, you should now ask yourself: who owns the house and how can this be divided after the divorce?</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://lukinski.com/divorced-sell-house-questions-answers-tips-procedure-separation/" data-type="post" data-origin="de" data-origin-url="https://lukinski.de/immobilie-verkaufen-scheidung-fragen-antworten-tipps-ablauf-trennung/" data-id="29639">Divorce: Sell property</a></li>
</ul>
<h3>Sell house fast</h3>
<p>Selling a house quickly &#8211; Selling a house is a complex matter and involves many different steps. From the creation of an appealing advertisement to the valuation of the property and the subsequent legal steps, such as the purchase contract and the appointments with the notary. During all these steps, various points must be taken into account in order to complete the property sale as profitably and quickly as possible.</p>

</ul>
<h2>Renting and managing</h2>
<p>Letting and managing in divorce.</p>
<h3>Manage real estate despite separation</h3>
<p>Separation pain &#8211; time for great happiness: marriage, children and a joint property. These are the dreams of many couples. But unfortunately, everything rarely works out the way you dreamed it would. It is not all too rare for life to throw a spanner in the works. Many people are devastated after a breakup and do not have the strength to even care about the division of the joint property. In such cases, it often makes sense to put the management of the joint property in the hands of an experienced real estate agent.</p>

</ul>
<h3>Rent out real estate</h3>
<p>Important facts when renting out a house or apartment &#8211; Renting out a property can be a great side income, but it can also become your main job. Landlords have many responsibilities to the tenant and must take care of the property. However, if this is successful, a lot of profit can come from it.</p>
<p>How do I set the rental price correctly? How does my advertisement appear appealing? And how do I draw up a suitable and fair rental contract? All these questions are asked by a future landlord, because in order to successfuly rent out a property, a lot of expertise and experience is required. However, if you follow a few simple steps, you will make the leap to becoming a successful landlord and profit from the earnings.</p>

</ul>
<p>There is a lot to learn when it comes to renting. Take your time.</p>

<h2>Law: Legal</h2>
<p>Divorce legalities.</p>
<h3>Divorce Law</h3>
<p>Divorce law comes into play in the event of a divorce between spouses. This is regulated in §§ 1564 ff BGB (German Civil Code) and in § 111 FamFG (Law on Proceedings in Family Matters). Which regulations there are and how a divorce proceeds, you can find out now with us!</p>

</ul>
<h3>Divorce settlement</h3>
<p>Divorce settlement agreement &#8211; If a divorce can no longer be avoided, it should at least be settled amicably between the two spouses. An amicable divorce is the easiest and most cost-effective for all parties involved. A divorce settlement agreement helps to make divorce by mutual consent as uncomplicated as possible and settles all the important issues relating to a divorce in advance. These usually include maintenance claims, the division of assets and custody of the joint children.</p>

<h3>Alimony, tax bracket, children</h3>
<p>Divorce is no longer an exceptional situation these days. In 2017, around 38 percent of closed marriages divorced. In addition to the emotional roller coaster ride experienced by those affected, legal questions also tend to rob people of their sleep. What happens to the jointly acquired household goods? What about maintenance claims? What is to become of the joint house in which the couple lived together and wanted to grow old together?</p>

</ul>
<h3>Separation maintenance</h3>
<p>It happens more often than you might think. After a few years of marriage, couples find that things are no longer working as they should and thoughts of separation come up. However, marriage is a big responsibility and separation can also have big legal and financial implications. So such a step should be well thought out and carefully planned. Good communication between the spouses is essential. The experts at Lukinski explain what you can expect when it comes to separation maintenance and how you can best deal with such a situation.</p>

</ul>
<h3>Hardship divorce</h3>
<p>A hardship divorce is a last resort. If there is such a valid reason for an immediate divorce without observing a separation year, it is possible to apply for a hardship divorce at a family court. However, these divorces are only the very last resort and are therefore the absolute exception.</p>

</ul>
<h3>Name change</h3>
<p>Change of name after divorce &#8211; Often, after a divorce, spouses wish to change their surname to bring closure to the divorce, or simply to resume their birth name. However, there are a few things to keep in mind when doing so, which are outlined in the Civil Code. To give you an overview of the most important facts, the experts at Lukinski explain the topic of name change after divorce in detail.</p>

</ul>
<h3>Pension rights adjustment: pension after marriage</h3>
<p>In most divorces, the equalisation of pensions must be carried out by the family courts. This regulates the entitlements and prospects of a pension due to old age or reduced earning capacity that the spouses have acquired during the marriage. Marriages of up to three years must apply for pension equalisation, all others can exclude it before the notary or structure it more closely.</p>
<ul>

</ul>
<h3>Pension entitlement</h3>
<p>Pension entitlement after divorce &#8211; Those who want a divorce face many unanswered questions. One of them is the pension and how this is treated in the divorce. In this context, couples are confronted with the word pension equalization, which means nothing other than that the pension rights acquired during the marriage are divided between the spouses.</p>

</ul>
<h2>Emotional</h2>
<p>Emotional aspects of a breakup:</p>
<h3>Separation with children</h3>
<p>A separation involving joint children is a challenge for all concerned. Legal and organisational changes occur mainly for the parents, but the most important thing is probably the emotional burden and how the parents deal with these changes.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Those who choose to marry and be married, in most cases, have the intention to spend their life with their spouse forever and share everything that belongs to them. Nobody thinks during a marriage about the fact that there might be a divorce one day and that there might even be arguments about belongings. But in 2017 the divorce rate in Germany was over 36 percent, which shows that unfortunately not all marriages last forever. Often fraud, daily life including routine or even financial problems are the reasons for divorce.</p>
<h2>Divorce and real estate: The most important questions and answers</h2>
<p>Whatever type of property you have to sell after your divorce: It depends on the location. When <a href="https://lukinski.com/sell-apartment-condo-evaluation-procedure-taxes-tips/" data-type="post" data-id="29635">selling an apartment</a>, <a href="https://lukinski.com/sell-house-without-realtor-documents-taxes-costs-what-consider/" data-type="post" data-id="29636">selling a house</a>, <a href="https://lukinski.com/the-sale-of-a-plot-of-land/">selling a plot</a> and even more so when you are looking to sell multi-family houses. The location of your real estate is a decisive valuation factor. So is the substance and the equipment. Selling privately means accepting risks and making mistakes. From property valuation, contracts, taxes and costs.</p>
<blockquote><p>If a divorce leads to the sale of a house, you should be well informed accordingly.</p></blockquote>
<p>You are in the process of divorce or would like to file for divorce? Ideally, you have the opportunity to discuss the separation sensibly and objectively with the partner to be divorced? Then the question arises: Who owns what? If you own a joint property such as a house, you should now ask yourself: who owns the house and how can it be divided after the divorce?</p>
<p>If you live in a house together for years, you usually don&#8217;t ask yourself: who actually owns it? Living together also suggests a common house and there is rarely another &#8220;mine&#8221; and &#8220;yours&#8221;, but often an &#8220;ours&#8221;. Since the interior decoration was also usually chosen according to the ideas and wishes of both spouses, the feeling of togetherness is enormously strengthened.</p>

<h3>Who owns the house / condominium ?</h3>
<p>If a married couple decides now however no more together to live and divorce to want, it is unimportant, which feeling developed, but the facts are regarded. Crucial for it, to whom the house belongs, is always the entry in the land register. In the land register you will always be able to find the owner who was registered when the property was purchased. If you are registered there alone, you are automatically the sole owner of the property. A registered sole owner is usually chosen if the purchase was made before marriage, for example, or if there were certain advantages to registering only one spouse. If there is only one sole owner in the land register, it is legally very clear who owns the property. Nevertheless, the other spouse is not simply thrown out of the house, even if the registered sole owner has a power of instruction that allows him/her to ask the other spouse to move out of the house. This request to move out is connected with a granted time, which must be granted to the moving out partner. In addition, the sole owner must bear the costs of the move. Furthermore, the non-owner can be granted a right of residence, which can also be limited.</p>
<h3>Two owners: Proposed solutions</h3>
<p>If both spouses are the owners of the house or also of the condominium, both persons must also have been entered in the land register. If this is the case, the spouses can go several ways in a divorce.</p>
<p>Firstly, it is possible to sell the house to a third party, secondly the house can be partially auctioned or thirdly one spouse can transfer his or her shares to the other. If the house is to be sold to a third party, you have chosen the most pleasant and easiest way, because the house is divided up, so to speak. The common property is sold and the proceeds from the sale are divided among themselves. This process is fast and afterwards you and your still or ex-spouse can go separate ways.</p>
<h3>What happens with the children?</h3>
<p>However, if children are involved, the soon to be divorced couple usually wants to keep the property at least for the children, so as not to tear them out of their familiar surroundings. It is not uncommon for parents who are divorced and own a joint property to decide against selling it to a third party. They do not like to expect their children to change the city or place, to get used to new people and a new environment and to have to move out of the house in which they were born and grew up or are still growing up.</p>
<p>However, it must also be clarified again to whom the property belongs and if both spouses are owners, they must find a common solution. Here it is often advisable that the spouse who leaves the house transfers the own shares to the spouse who will still live in the house &#8211; probably with the children. When this happens and the shares are transferred, all ownership is transferred to the partner who will remain living in the house. However, the transfer is only effected by full payment of the shares in the house. Both the sale to third parties and the payment of the shares in the property presuppose that the spouses can reach an agreement and want to find solutions together.</p>
<h3>Divisional auction</h3>
<p>Unfortunately, this is not always the case, because divorces are often associated with injuries and many emotions, which can lead to the hardening of the fronts and the couple not being able to reach an agreement. In this case it is possible to apply for a division auction. A division auction aims to dissolve a community that has existed up to now. In this type of auction, the real estate, which is considered an indivisible property, is converted into money that can be divided. This money, however, still belongs to the community and will be deposited in case of disagreement about division or payment. A division auction should always be the last possibility to &#8220;get rid&#8221; of a house through a divorce.</p>

<h2>Equalization of gains, sole ownership and joint ownership</h2>
<p>Everything about the equalization of gains, sole ownership and joint ownership.</p>
<h3>Earnings equalization &#8211; gains for both spouses in case of divorce</h3>
<p>If two people enter into a marriage without a marriage contract, they live in a community of gain according to the law. An increase is defined as the amount by which the final assets of a spouse exceed the initial assets. During the marriage the two fortunes remain thus separated and with the divorce a reconciliation of the increase of the fortunes takes place. Each spouse should therefore leave the marriage with the same amount of gain. The experts from Lukinski explain how the difficult topic of real estate is dealt with when balancing the gain.</p>
<p>If only one of the spouses is registered in the land register as owner of the real estate, the real estate belongs to this spouse alone even after the divorce. During the separation period, a court can also assign the property to the non-owner for use, but only if this spouse cannot find an affordable apartment for himself or her and their joint children. However, the ownership of this property does not change as a result.</p>
<p>However, real estate also has financial consequences in the case of compensation for gains. A property that was bought, built or extended or modernized during the marriage represents an increase in value and is therefore relevant for the compensation of gains. An inherited real estate, or one that was already part of the property before marriage, is only included in the compensation for gains if it was modernized or developed during the marriage. During the divorce, however, the owner of the real estate may not simply do what he wants with the property. If the divorce or the separated gain adjustment proceedings are not yet completed, the ex-partner&#8217;s consent is required for the sale, for example.</p>
<h3>Joint ownership &#8211; different solutions</h3>
<p>If the real estate belongs to the married couple equally or even proportionately, it becomes difficult in the case of divorce, because the question of how to proceed with the common real estate after the divorce is not always easy to answer. Who may live in the property, will it be sold or further financed? This problem comes from the fact that with the divorce the co-ownership does not end at the same time. Divorced couples are therefore still jointly responsible for the property even after the divorce. There are different approaches to the issue, which are better or worse suited depending on the situation:</p>
<ul>
<li>The property can be taken over by one partner by paying the other one. However, this represents a gain that affects the compensation for the gain.</li>
<li>The property can be transferred to a common child and both spouses look for something new.</li>
<li>Depending on the conditions of the property, a large detached house can be converted into a two-family house. If the spouses so wish, the property can be divided into two equally self-contained units.</li>
<li>The real estate can be sold and the profit is divided proportionally between the spouses</li>
<li>If no agreement can be reached on the future of the property, the last resort is the division auction, in which the property is publicly auctioned off by an enforcement court.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Current real estate loans in divorce &#8211; communication between the spouses</h3>
<p>If real estate is financed by a loan, it must still be repaid after the separation. How this problem is to be dealt with, however, must be dealt with independently of the other real estate issues. A common solution is to change the payment method. If the main wage earner has repaid the loan until the separation, after the divorce the repayment can run over both partners in equal parts. If the joint home ownership is transferred to one spouse, the repayment contract can also be changed accordingly.</p>

<h2>Sales: Procedure and checklist (free of charge)</h2>
<p>Real estate sales after divorce &#8211; the prices for houses, free-hold apartments and basic rises continue to rise. The trend to the own four walls continues, determined also a study of the Federal association of the German people banks and Raiffeisen banks (BVR):. In 2017 the prices for owner-occupied housing rose again by 5.4 percent. The high demand also has an impact on the price situation in rural areas. Are you considering selling your residential property? The situation on the property market is extremely good for sellers. Only make a decision when you have a market value assessment from a professional. The experts from Lukinski determine free of charge what selling price your property can fetch. We are always available for you online.</p>
<h2>How much is my property worth?</h2>
<p>What price can my properties fetch on the market? Are you thinking of hiring an expert? We at Lukinski can help you free of charge. Our real estate valuation is based on current data of your region. Our online service determines the most realistic price expectation for your property from all comparable offers. Experience has shown that our assessments as online brokers are much better suited to the current price level than expensive appraisals based largely on building materials.</p>
<p>Nobody can predict exactly how long the price boom on the property market will last. Selling real estate is not always an easy decision. Personal reasons or financial concerns are at stake. However, a little-used property or a property that does not suit one&#8217;s own situation quickly creates additional expenses. Extensions, renovations or long journeys to work put a strain on the budget. Selling a residential property not only creates financial freedom, but also the opportunity to relocate yourself or your family to a more advantageous location. All residential locations are currently being sought: in the city and in the country. Our online real estate service uses new procedures and methods to evaluate the available offers on the market. Thus we determine for you free of charge, with which purchase price you can find a buyer quite fast.</p>
<p>Our real estate evaluation procedure has proven itself for years. With only a few details, we analyze the property, so that you get a realistic estimate for a house sale or apartment sale. Quick and easy we help you to get the best price on your regional market. Let us show you how we can support you.</p>
<h2>Determine the market value of the property</h2>
<p>Have you considered the decision to sell the house or apartment? Then we will provide you with an online valuation at market value. Only then can you estimate whether you want to part with the property. With the potential selling price we estimate, you can also decide whether it is profitable to commission an estate agent. Under certain circumstances, it may be worthwhile to carry out renovation and conversion work, which will help us to find an even broader base of interested parties. An own assessment of the market value is fraught with many risks: Often it is based on emotional attachment to the property, on the effort and time invested in the renovation. If the stated sales price is too high, hardly any serious prospective buyers will come forward. The stream of visitors who are not really interested in buying often does not stop even after months. This costs time and nerves and in the end many homeowners accept large financial losses.</p>
<p>Get advice from a professional before the sale. We will give you a thorough and careful assessment of the value of your property. Our price quotation and recommendations will enable you to find suitable buyers for your property. The longer a property has been on the market, the greater the final discount usually has to be. Avoid this with Lukinski and get into the real estate sales process well informed and supported. With our online real estate evaluation you will receive prompt and reliable key figures and interesting facts about your real estate sale. If you wish, we can take over all services around your house sale &#8211; from the valuation to the notary appointment, we are there for you.</p>
<h2>Sale on your own initiative?</h2>
<p>After the first searches many real estate salesmen trust themselves still the completion of the house sales in self-direction. What the salesman really has to expect, is however a thing for the professionals. Prospective buyers may appear to the inspection date, in order to press the price unjustifiably. More and more defects are discovered and the owner gives up frustrated sooner or later. Also the legal side of selling real estate is increasingly determined by legal regulations. Submitted the energy document of identification must be answered with the inspection date, it must questions to the land register and to the building method. Our professional office knows how to answer all inquiries competently and completely. We are happy to assist you in all steps of your real estate project.</p>
<p>Our customers confirm it again and again: It is worthwhile to involve us in the sale of real estate. You can rely on our experience and expertise when it comes to negotiating prices, arranging viewing appointments and compiling the sales documentation. We will explain all other bureaucratic preparations to you, including obtaining extracts from the land registry. Not all information needs to be disclosed to a potential buyer &#8211; we will advise you on all questions.</p>
<h3>The checklist for the documents</h3>
<p>If you decide to sell your house or apartment, we will obtain most of the documents while you provide the building description, utility bill and construction plans. If you already know the market value of your house, our checklist will help you to be well prepared for a smooth sale:</p>
<p>Once the sale of your home has been decided, a flood of documents must be obtained for the various phases of the sale. The bureaucratic requirements for the sale of real estate are aimed at potential buyers, notary, estate agents and other institutions.</p>
<ol>
<li>Sales documents</li>
<li>Energy performance certificate and extract from the land register</li>
<li>Building description and cadastral map</li>
<li>Special documents for special properties</li>
<li>Preparation of the documents according to the sales phase.</li>
</ol>
<p>In principle, only a few documents are obligatory when selling a house or apartment. However, prospective buyers are equipped with a large number of recommendations in order to secure the best possible property &#8211; in terms of personal requirements and the price to be paid. The extract from the land register must be presented to the notary public at the latest, but many buyers need the information contained in the document even before making a purchase decision. The lending bank must be granted access and give its approval for financing. All relevant documents should be available in good time to ensure that the sale of the house or apartment is as quick and smooth as possible. Documents that have to be obtained from public institutions, credit institutions and government offices often take time. With us, you are on the safe side &#8211; we obtain many of the documents for you and give tips on the bureaucratic requirements for selling real estate. What we can do for you and what documents we obtain:</p>
<ul>
<li>Preparation of the consumption-oriented energy pass, which is to be presented to the interested parties at the inspection date without being asked</li>
<li>Extracts from the land register</li>
<li>Floor map</li>
<li>Texts on object and location for the ad</li>
</ul>
<h3>Commercialization begins soon</h3>
<p>Once the documents have been compiled, the marketing phase begins. We also provide competent and reliable support for any questions and problems that may arise. The jointly developed advertisement is supplemented by a convincing and professional exposé. Both should be accurate, complete, informative and convincing. Meaningful photos of the house, apartment and garden are part of it. The documents are published online, we take over the social media posts and round off a target-oriented marketing with a virtual tour.</p>
<p>If viewing appointments are pending, the house or apartment must present itself in the best light. The prospective buyer should feel comfortable in the property so that negotiations are also easier. We know how to best highlight the advantages of your house. We can also arrange and organize viewings for you.</p>
<p>The prospective buyer will go to his bank with the documents so that a credit check is carried out for the last time. If the purchase price and property valuation match, the bank can finance the property. If the creditworthiness of the prospective buyer is correct, nothing more stands in the way of a loan commitment. Often banks carry out their own valuations of the property. If the purchase price is set too high, the property is either not lent at all or only a significantly lower loan amount is granted. Sales projects fail if the prospective buyer cannot raise the financial means. With our property valuation we make sure that this does not happen. We estimate the price of your residential and commercial property realistically and close to the market. Trust the professionals at Lukinski, for maximum success in your real estate sale.</p>
<p>Last but not least, the notary appointment is scheduled. Here, buyer and seller meet for the notarization of the purchase contract. Afterwards the change in the land register takes place, which makes the sale official.</p>
<h3>Concluding tips for a successful sale</h3>
<p>Each of the sales phases takes its time. Usually the entire house sale takes 6 to 9 months. Depending on the property and location, it may take longer to find the right buyer. We maintain an extensive pool of serious and financially secure prospective buyers who are looking for a new home. The right buyer for your house or apartment may already be listed in our records. It is important that the future buyer is seriously interested in the purchase and can also secure the financial means in the short term. We also support the buyer in finding suitable financing for his property acquisition. As a neutral partner we are a competent mediator in all phases of your sales project. On our city pages you can find out how the regional market is developing. There you will also find an overview of our comprehensive expertise in the federal states of Hesse and Rhineland-Palatinate.</p>

<h3>Why do women get divorced?</h3>
<p>According to a survey of the magazine Brigitte, it is especially the goals in life that are the reason for divorce. Of 43,000 women, almost 32 percent named different ideas about the future as the main reason. &#8220;We have grown apart,&#8221; it is often said succinctly. Second place is occupied by infidelity with 29.2 percent. Here, affairs of the partner are the main reason for divorce. 10.9 percent of the respondents named constant quarrelling, bickering and squabbling as the main reason for divorce from their husbands, which is thus the third most common reason.</p>

<li>Life goals</li>
<li>Affairs</li>

<h2>Marriage contract protects against dispute in case of divorce</h2>
<p>Avoid trouble from the outset, a marriage contract makes it possible. Even if people who enter into a marriage do not want to think about the fact that it might end one day, it is recommended to keep a marriage contract from the beginning. Because we now know that the owner of a property is always the person entered in the land register. But to avoid further annoyances or ambiguities, a marriage contract should always be concluded in addition.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, there are few couples who choose to sign a prenuptial agreement at the time of marriage, as they assume at that point that they will never separate or even in a separation will treat each other fairly. But unfortunately this is rarely the case and &#8220;Wars of the Roses&#8221; are more the rule. Whoever does not have a prenuptial agreement can quickly be put at a disadvantage &#8211; especially if there is a property where they have lived together for many years.</p>
<h3>Financial disputes in divorce proceedings</h3>
<p>What role did financial disputes play in your divorce proceedings?</p>
<p><img decoding="async" style="width: 100%; height: auto !important; max-width: 1000px; -ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;" src="https://de.statista.com/graphic/1/485289/umfrage-zu-finanziellen-auseinandersetzungen-bei-scheidungen-in-deutschland.jpg" alt="Statistics: What role did financial disputes play in your divorce proceedings? | Statista" /><br />
You can find more statistics at Statista</p>
<p>A prenuptial agreement may not be very romantic, but it can avoid a lot of stress during a divorce. This contract can contain, for example, what exactly will happen to the property if a divorce should occur. If the divorce does occur, there is no room for discussion, as the contract is binding. It is no longer necessary to discuss which way to go to sell the property, as this is already written down.</p>
<h3>Marriage contract: regulations and agreements</h3>
<p>A prenuptial agreement is therefore really not to be underestimated and can bring clarity in deadlocked situations, because what is written in the prenuptial agreement is also implemented. A prenuptial agreement also does not necessarily mean hard rules and little room for the spouses&#8217; own ideas, because this contract can be arranged quite flexibly.</p>
<p>Tip! In such a contract can also be concluded after the marriage.</p>

<li>All regulations, which are made by mutual agreement, save a lot of stress</li>
<li>Agreements concerning separation of property, maintenance and the equalization of pension rights</li>
<li>A marriage contract must be concluded with a notary public.</li>
</ul>
<p>The spouses, who draw up a contract at the beginning of the marriage, can decide for themselves what belongs to whom, how the property and belongings will be treated when the divorce comes, and what contingencies might occur and influence the division. However, it is also quite possible for the spouses to include a fixed arrangement, which is recommended by experts and consultants.</p>
<blockquote><p>We cannot take away the pain of divorce, but we can save you time, money and stress</p></blockquote>
<p>Even if a prenuptial agreement sounds unromantic, it can save you a lot of headaches in the divorce process. If it is clarified from the outset how the individual assets will be treated after the divorce, many questions in the divorce will resolve themselves. This emotional matter is thus made easier for all parties, especially when real estate is part of the property. But even if there is no marriage contract, it is always advisable for the spouses to clarify the various ownership issues after the divorce as peacefully as possible.</p>
<h2>Questions and answers: Divorce</h2>
<p>Also, drawing up a post-divorce agreement can raise problems and questions and lead to disagreements between the spouses. To ensure that you are fully aware of the agreements, we will answer all important questions about the post-divorce agreement.</p>
<h3>What is post-divorce settlement ?</h3>
<p>The aim of a gain equalization is that both spouses leave the marriage with the same gain in assets. Therefore, in divorces of marriages without a marriage contract, a gain adjustment is made to compare and adjust the individual gains.</p>
<h3>How do I find the owner of a property ?</h3>
<p>The owner of a property is the person who has been registered as the owner in the land register. When buying a property, the entry in the land register must be changed in order to legally enforce the purchase.</p>
<h3>What does a divorce with house cost ?</h3>
<p>The costs of a divorce depend on many different things. The assets of the couple play a decisive role, but also whether the divorce is contentious or consensual has an impact on the costs. If assets belong to marriages without a marriage contract, a gain compensation is made, in which also real estates are considered. The costs can therefore only be determined individually.</p>
<h3>What is the separation year ?</h3>
<p>The separation year is required by law. Married couples must live apart for one year before the divorce in order to carefully consider the decision to divorce. Only after this separation year is a divorce possible.</p>
<h3>How is the gain compensation determined?</h3>
<p>Each spouse&#8217;s initial assets are calculated on the day of marriage. Then the current state of the assets is calculated and finally the difference between the spouses&#8217; gains is determined.</p>
<h3>Who bears the costs in case of divorce ?</h3>
<p>The divorce costs are usually set off against each other. This means that both spouses pay their own legal fees and additionally pay half of the court costs. The amount of the legal costs is determined by the court, including the lawyer&#8217;s fees.</p>
<h3>What is a post-divorce agreement?</h3>
<p>The divorce agreement is a contract between spouses in which all important questions belonging to a divorce are clarified privately in advance, so that these questions no longer need to be regulated in the divorce.</p>
<h3>What does a notarial divorce settlement cost?</h3>
<p>The costs for the notarized post-divorce agreement are calculated according to the procedural value of the divorce. It must therefore be determined in each individual case and cannot be named in a lump sum.</p>
<h3>What is a separation agreement?</h3>
<p>The separation agreement regulates all possible issues for the period between separation and divorce. It can be useful if couples only want to separate and not divorce for the time being.</p>
<h3>How much does an amicable divorce cost?</h3>
<p>The costs of an amicable divorce are measured by the value of the proceedings and vary from case to case. The costs depend on the income, the assets and the lawyer costs together and must be determined therefore in the individual case.</p>

<h2>Valuate house: Calculate purchase price</h2>
<p>There are many questions to be answered, the best answer is an expert at your side for real estate valuation. The central criterion is often the location. Real estate prices vary regionally, sometimes considerably. Therefore only objects in the proximity may enter into the real estate comparison.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-29418" src="https://lukinski.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/villa-kaufen-buy-fachwerkhaus-alt-landhaus-land-horses-riding-all-inclusive.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="853" /></p>
<p>When evaluating a house, aspects of the micro and macro locations are just as important as the immediate location of the property: soundscape, view and lighting conditions interest potential buyers and influence the value of the property and the achievable price.</p>
<p>Before we get deeper into the matter of evaluation of location, building fabric, market value &amp; Co., we first ask 3 basic questions which reach us in consulting discussions with customers:</p>
<ul>
<li>How can I value a property?</li>
<li>Who determines the market value of a property?</li>
<li>How does the bank value a property?</li>
</ul>
<p>Fair value is defined as the price that is calculated at a certain point in time according to various criteria and that is realizable for the property in the ordinary course of business.</p>
<h2>House sale: basics and procedure</h2>
<p>Sell privately &#8211; Selling a property successfuly as a beginner is harder than you think. There are many things to consider and many mistakes that can be made. So you should inform yourself about the procedures from the beginning and be sure that you do everything right. You can of course consult an estate agent for support, but this is not always the best choice.</p>
<p>The right advertisement is the be-all and end-all for the self-marketing of a property. But there are also other aspects to consider. If you approach a house sale without help, you should be prepared for a lot of time and self-organization. This process can only be made easier if you have the right expertise on the subject.</p>
<h3>Display: Headline, content and attention</h3>
<p>There is nothing worse than your ad going under in the crowd. Short, sober descriptions bore potential buyers and are not very inviting. So make sure that the title is already written in a relaxed but serious way. You should use a language that is as rich in images as possible, which arouses emotions and thus attracts attention.</p>
<p>Think about the title that would catch your attention. Particular advantages of your property can be highlighted by formulations such as</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8216;elegant old building with stucco&#8217; or &#8216;sunny south terrace&#8217;</p></blockquote>
<p>be highlighted, because you appear enthusiastic and invite the real estate seekers directly. Try to lure the buyer already with the headline on, so that he clicks further on your advertisement.</p>
<p>Once the potential buyer is on your ad, two further factors can convince him or her of the property. The ad text and your pictures. In your text you should explain important key data of the property as well as the criteria of the property.</p>
<p>Among the key data are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Number of rooms</li>
<li>District</li>
<li>Balcony</li>
<li>Built-in kitchen</li>
<li>Floor</li>
<li>Full bath</li>
<li>Cellar rooms</li>
<li>Etc.</li>
</ul>
<p>Describe the location of the apartment, its advantages and also name the furnishings as precisely as possible. Particularly high-quality equipment, should be listed with manufacturer. This includes kitchen equipment, heating systems but also other objects that will remain in the property. Name in this connection on the costs for the distance payments for existing equipment and brokerage.</p>
<p>Also important is information such as rental price, additional costs and the size of the apartment in square meters. Ask yourself again: &#8216;What would I want to know about an apartment?&#8217; and describe everything in detail.</p>
<ul>
<li>Cost price</li>
<li>Incidental costs</li>
<li>Size of the base area</li>
<li>Size of the living space</li>
</ul>
<h3>Photos: daylight, open space and diversity</h3>
<p>But the most important factor are probably the pictures. A buyer naturally wants to see as much of the property as possible to get an idea of whether the object could be something for him.</p>
<p>In order to take great pictures of your property, there are a few things you need to consider. First of all, the rooms should be tidy and clean. Nobody is attracted to pictures of a messy apartment, because potential buyers want to imagine living in the object when they look at the pictures.</p>
<p>You should definitely take the pictures in daylight, so that the rooms can be seen very well and the buyers can estimate how much daylight falls into the rooms. Your cover picture should be the most meaningful and represent the best of the apartment.</p>
<p>The most beautiful room, the roof terrace, the open kitchen or maybe the bay window with a view. The first picture should impress and make the prospective buyer want to see the apartment. Pictures of all rooms and if available the garden/balcony/terrace, an exterior view and above all a floor plan may not be missing in any case.</p>
<p>The floor plan should never be missing, since potential buyers can get an impression of the size of the individual rooms in relation to each other and can see the layout of the rooms better. A video is also possible, although it does not replace the viewing appointment, but gives the prospective buyer a good overview.</p>
<p>Photo tips at a glance:</p>
<ul>
<li>Clean and tidy rooms</li>
<li>Daylight (speaks for bright rooms)</li>
<li>First image should be the best photo</li>
<li>Cover all rooms and surfaces</li>
<li>Floor plan</li>
<li>Ground plan</li>
</ul>

<p>Example: Garden with pond</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-28711" src="https://lukinski.de/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/ferienhaus-kaufen-steuern-tipps-immobilie-garten-anwesen-villa-gruen-bepflanzung-gaertner-water-garden-green.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="854" /></p>
<h3>Taxes: 2 years not taxed</h3>
<p>Who would like to sell its real estate, must consider also from the fiscal side some. These concerns are divided into an owner-occupied property and a property used by others.</p>
<p>There is a two-year period for owner-occupied real estate. This refers to the notarization date for the purchase and sale of the property at the notary.</p>
<blockquote><p>Between these two dates, there must be a minimum of two years so that you do not have to pay tax on the profit from the sale.</p></blockquote>
<p>For real estate used by third parties, a different deadline applies. In this case there must be a whole 10 years between the two dates. But caution is required here, because there are special regulations. Whoever sells more than three pieces of real estate used by third parties within five years is assumed by the tax office to have a commercial intention and the profits from the sales must be taxed and this also applies retroactively if the tax office only recognizes later that the sales are to be attributed to the commercial trade with real estate.</p>
<h3>Time and effort: Prepare well</h3>
<p>If you simply place an advertisement on the Internet quickly, your chances of a successful sale are rather low. In advance you should prepare yourself well and acquire the necessary expertise. Therefore you should gather information about the regional real estate market in order to be able to estimate in which area your real estate is located. In addition, you should already have all the important documents ready, because prospective buyers want to see them and you are necessary for the further sale of the house. This includes copies of:</p>
<ul>
<li>Floor plan and site plan</li>
<li>Extract from the land register</li>
<li>Energy Performance Certificate</li>
<li>Calculation of living space and land</li>
</ul>
<p>Go through these documents again yourself to answer any questions you may have. Prepare your property for photos and viewings, muck out and clean up.</p>
<h3>Assign an agent: Yes or no?</h3>
<p>What to look for when choosing a broker and selling without a broker: The decision whether to sell your house with or without a broker has many different aspects.</p>
<p>An estate agent can help you with advice and support, apply his or her expertise, and take work off your hands and help you. However, he will receive a commission that could reduce your profit. So if you decide to sell your house without an agent, you should consider the following points so that you do not make unintentional mistakes.</p>
<p>Although you save the broker&#8217;s commission in a private sale, you have additional costs that should not be underestimated, as they can amount to several thousand euros. These include taxes (speculation tax), renovation work, deletion of the land charge in the land register, advertisements and notices, expert opinions (appraisal, energy certificate) or prepayment penalty in case of a prematurely terminated loan.</p>
<p>If you are selling privately, you will find here my list of recommendations for real estate online portals for private sale.</p>
<h2>Checklist: Sales process in 12 steps</h2>
<p>Checklist house sale: 12 steps for selling houses and apartments. This is how we market your property.</p>
<ol>
<li>Realistic time planning and considered strategy for the sales phase</li>
<li>Sale with or without broker?</li>
<li>Do you have all the documents for the sale?</li>
<li>Is your real estate prepared for sale?</li>
<li>Is the sales price you have set realistic?</li>
<li>Planning the marketing strategy of the property and placing targeted advertisements</li>
<li>Establish contact with interested parties and prepare for questions</li>
<li>Prepare for questions and establish contact with interested parties</li>
<li>Arrange and carry out viewing appointments and market the property convincingly</li>
<li>Sales talks with interested parties as well as creditworthiness check</li>
<li>Draw up and prepare the purchase contract for signature</li>
<li>Appointment for notarization at the notary and transfer to the new owner</li>
</ol>
<h3>Documents: energy pass, land register and Co.</h3>
<p>If you want to sell a house, you must have many documents at hand. The floor plan and the energy performance certificate are only some of them. The presentation of your property is also important, which is why we need beautiful and meaningful photographs for the exposé. Let us help you with the preparation of the exposé and benefit from our experience. An exposé is basically the first impression a potential buyer gets of the property, which is why it is so important.</p>
<p>We know what is important to potential buyers, we see immediately which special features deserve their attention and should be emphasized and which aspects should not be missing in the exposé. Because only if the house is attractively advertised, a buyer will be found. And only if a buyer is found, you can earn money with the property.</p>
<h3>Sale price: Determine offer price</h3>
<p>Many people base the price on what they once paid for the property and hope to get the value they invested back. However, this can be far below but also far above the current value of the property.</p>
<p>You can have the value of the property estimated or you can use current prices of similar objects as a guide. Crucial for the price is however the current supply-demand situation. So try to wait for the right moment and sell your property so profitably.</p>
<h3>Valuation: Location, equipment and the special charm</h3>
<p>But how much does the property actually earn you? Valuation is our greatest strength, but it also depends on where your property is located, what type of property it is, how old it is, what quality it has and what condition the fixtures and fittings are in. Unfortunately, it is not always important what you have already invested in renovation and refurbishment or what price you paid when you bought the property, but rather how the demand and supply currently presents itself.</p>

<h3>Marketing of the offer</h3>
<p>Putting an online ad online only at a portal reduces your chances of a good sale. You want to reach as large an audience as possible with the ad and should therefore offer it on several platforms.</p>
<p>But not only online portals are a possibility. Newspaper ads can also be effective. However, the classic newspaper market is saying goodbye more and more. If you sell privately, focus especially on real estate online portals for private sale.</p>
<p>Also use your social environment to spread the news of the sale. Maybe the friend of a friend is looking for a property just like yours. Use all possible platforms and thus increase your reach and your chance of a sale.</p>
<h2>Observation appointment until contract conclusion</h2>
<p>It is always a pleasure to see the exposé that has been prepared arouse interest and the first interested parties move. If the demand is high, this can quickly become stressful for you as a seller, especially if you have a job and private obligations at the same time.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-24597" src="https://lukinski.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/anwalt-recht-immobilien-erbe-verkaufen-mieten-handshake-beratung-lukinski-immobilienmakler.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="700" /></p>
<h3>Visit: First impression and simple tips</h3>
<p>In addition, we will also carry out the agreed inspections in your interest. Of course we have the same goal as you: to sell your property successfuly and quickly.</p>
<p>No matter whether your real estate agent conducts the inspection alone, or whether you will be present at the inspection or whether you will let us conduct it alone: care and preparation are essential.</p>
<p>Your property should be well cared for so that the prospective buyer gets a good impression of it. A prospective buyer will want to make plans for the furnishings before he or she has even seen the property and will dream of sitting at the dining table with his or her family. If the property is then unkempt or dirty, the interest can quickly be lost.</p>
<h3>Conclusion: purchase price, sales contract and credit rating</h3>
<p>Once the inspection has been carried out and a number of interested parties have been found, the next step is to find out whether these interested parties are also in a position to buy the property at the desired price. In this case, your real estate agency will take all the necessary steps for you to check the purchasing power of the potential customers.</p>
<p>Once this step has been completed and the ideal buyer has been found, the step to the notary public must be taken.</p>
<p>When selling a house, there are a few rules to be observed to ensure that the sale of the house goes off as quickly and smoothly as possible. Sellers of a tenement house have to clarify certain tax law questions.<br />
Only self-users are excluded from this regulation. In addition, incidental costs for the sale must also be taken into account.</p>
<h3>Ancillary purchase costs: land transfer tax, notary costs &#038; Co.</h3>
<p>The decision to sell a home is associated with costs, but the buyer bears a large part of these costs. The registration in the land register is in many cases borne by both parties, as are the costs for the estate agent. Take these items into account if you are planning to sell your property. Taxes are not actually payable on the purchase price.<br />
However, if you have inherited the house and wish to sell it before ten years have passed, you may be assessed for inheritance tax. The amount of the tax is based on your relationship to the deceased and your individual tax allowance. It is reduced by the amount you have already claimed under the inheritance.</p>
<h3>Ancillary purchase costs in federal states differ</h3>
<p>Ancillary purchase costs such as land transfer tax or notary fees vary from state to state.<br />
If a loan for the house has not yet been paid off, it is advisable to negotiate a loan assumption with the seller. If you want to pay off the loan yourself after the sale, in most cases you will have to pay an early repayment fee to the bank. In order to obtain a fair market price, an expert opinion should be consulted.</p>
<h3>Improve the appearance of the property</h3>
<p>An important part of the sales process is also the presentation of the property. If possible, take pictures of your house from different perspectives. Pay attention to the lighting conditions. If you are not sure whether the photos are of sufficient quality, consult a photographer.</p>
<p>Before you sell your house, you should carry out any necessary repair work. Especially important are those works that will visually enhance your property.</p>
<h3>Function of pipes and installations</h3>
<p>Of course, all lines and installations should also work perfectly. A need for renovation will in any case reduce the value of your property. Also make sure that the entrance area and the front garden appear in a visually perfect condition.</p>
<p>This is very important for the first impression a prospective buyer gets. Clean out your house carefully. Old furniture should be removed. If you no longer live in the property yourself, it is best to hire a company to do the complete clearing out.</p>
<h2>Documents and contracts</h2>
<p>Make a list of the necessary tasks before the house sale. This will give you an overview of the things that need to be done to ensure a smooth sale. This includes the following points in the first instance:</p>
<ol>
<li>Floor plans</li>
<li>Site plan</li>
<li>Extract from the land register</li>
<li>Fire insurance certificate</li>
<li>An overview of the service charges</li>
<li>Listing of all renovation work</li>
<li>Photos</li>
<li>The current energy certificate</li>
<li>The specification of the living space</li>
<li>Any existing rental agreements</li>
<li>If there are several owners, the indication of the ownership structure</li>
<li>A detailed description of the object</li>
</ol>
<h3>Floor plan and site plan</h3>
<p>The floor plan shows the individual floors as well as a section through the floors of the house. The floor plan indicates how the house fits into its surroundings and which additional buildings are connected to the main house. These include garages or garden sheds and tool sheds. Before the sale, one should obtain an up-to-date extract from the land register and read through the existing entries thoroughly. Fire insurance is a mandatory document for real estate in Germany. For the buyer it can also be helpful for financing. In this case, the incidental costs include the operating costs such as water, electricity or gas.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-24601" src="https://lukinski.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/architekt-zeichnung-papier-haus-bau-verkauf-kauf-bauen-hilfe-tipps-lukinski-immobilienmakler.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="800" /></p>
<h3>Heating system</h3>
<p>The type of heating is also decisive. Is it an oil-fired system, an electric heating system or a solid fuel firing system?</p>
<p>Different types of heating also cause different running costs. When listing the recent renovations, you should list everything that has recently been renovated or repaired. This includes mainly sanitary facilities or installations. The building description is optional. If it is still available, please add it to the sales documentation.</p>
<p>The living space calculation could already be available at your financing bank. You must obtain the energy pass and the pictures or have them obtained. An appropriately designed exposé belongs to the object description. For all these matters it is advantageous to consult an estate agent.</p>
<ul>
<li>Heating system</li>
</ul>
<h3>Down payment</h3>
<p>There are two options for the down payment. One is made before the notarization and one after. However, a house sale is only legally effective when the notarial act is completed.<br />
The buyer could ask for a refund of the deposit paid. A down payment after notarization can be considered in certain cases. If you sell your house and need to live in it for a while, a deposit can be paid in this case. This gives you time and money to prepare your own move. Even if the buyer wants to do some renovation work before moving into the new house, he can ask for a down payment. This gives him the right to do the work in the house.</p>
<p>However, moving in is only allowed after the purchase price has been paid in full.</p>
<h3>Rental agreements</h3>
<p>A house sale is more difficult and complex even if tenants live in it. Of course, the sale also changes the ownership structure. In principle it applies that a sales contract cannot break the existing renting relations.</p>
<p>In some cases, tenants have a right of first refusal, if this is provided for in the lease. When the house is sold, these tenants must therefore first be informed of this intention. However, a termination of the lease should be considered as a last resort. Terminations are justified if a tenant causes problems. This is usually the case when rent arrears accumulate. In addition, there are a number of points to consider when terminating leases. These are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Cancel the tenant for own needs</li>
<li>Terminate the tenant for economic exploitation</li>
<li>Termination due to renovation or demolition</li>
<li>Termination due to serious misconduct of the tenant</li>
</ul>
<p>An own use termination is possible if the owner wants to move into the rented apartment himself or if his close relatives need this property. However, this personal use can also be reviewed by the tenant in court. The own need must be justified therefore exactly. An advanced own use justifies claims for damages of the tenant. An economic utilization is also present in the case of a sale.</p>
<h3>Delay due to existing rental agreements</h3>
<p>An existing lease agreement could delay or even prevent a sale. However, this sale must be effectively justified by the owner. You must therefore prove why you absolutely want to sell the property. A termination due to renovation or demolition work must also be justified. This can be the case if the property has to undergo urgent renovation work due to building regulations. Serious tenant misconduct exists if there are constant rent arrears, noise pollution or disturbance of the peace of the house. Then you can easily give notice to the tenant.</p>
<h2>The 8 biggest faults</h2>
<p>You should pay attention to this &#8211; The decision to sell a house is not easy for many, but once it is made, there are 1000 questions at once.</p>
<p>You are inexperienced and not familiar with selling houses, the paperwork and the effort. Often, careless mistakes are made at this point and the topic of selling a house turns out to be a nightmare.</p>
<p>To prevent this scenario, there are some mistakes that you can directly avoid and thus save yourself a lot of stress. Most house sellers are rather inexperienced in this field and do not know where to start. Often a few pictures are taken and put on a real estate portal. However, the homeowners do not know what to expect, what you have to consider and what all is in store for you.</p>
<p>To avoid this uncertainty, the most important thing before selling a house is to inform and seek help from experts in the field.</p>
<h3>Broker is directly excluded</h3>
<p>Of course, it is also possible to successfuly complete a real estate sale without an estate agent. So before you decide for or against an estate agent, think about what makes the most sense for you in your situation. An estate agent can save you a lot of work and time when selling a property. He also advises you in financial and marketing matters.</p>
<p>So ask yourself the questions:</p>
<ol>
<li>Do I have the time to organize, accompany and complete the entire house sale on my own?</li>
<li>Is my level of knowledge and my professional competence really sufficient to successfuly complete the sale without an agent?</li>
<li>Can I coordinate the sale alone on the fast moving, regional and targeted real estate market?</li>
</ol>
<p>You should be aware that a property sale requires a lot of time, organization and expertise. An estate agent will receive a commission for a successful sale, but this can be recorded in an estate agent contract. In addition, the real estate agent will take care of all the work for you, such as the correct advertising of the property, arranging and conducting viewing appointments, the preparation of sales contracts and the presence at the notary appointment. So you have permanently someone competent with sufficient expertise at your side who can advise you in all questions.</p>
<h3>Wrong time</h3>
<p>The timing of the property sale is directly related to the selling price. So to get the best selling price, there are a few things you should consider. First, you should keep an eye on the property prices in your area for some time before the sale. These also fluctuate and show certain trends. Offer your house at the right time in order not to go down in the competition. But you should also keep an eye on the interest rates. This is the only way to ensure that you sell your house at the best price.</p>
<p>The right time is also important to consider the tax, because there is a so-called speculation tax. This means that the tax expires after ten years on the property. So you will not pay taxes from 2018 on a property you bought before 2008. So it makes sense to sell the property after the ten year period in order to make more profit. It is therefore advisable to keep important legislation and cost aspects of the real estate market in mind in order to achieve the best selling price.</p>
<h3>Unprepared for viewing appointments</h3>
<p>Potential buyers, are faced with the decision to make a large investment or not. So they want to play it safe and be 100% sure in their decision. So that you conclude the house sale successfuly, you should give potential buyers as much security as possible.</p>
<p>With an inspection date you should be prepared for many questions of the buyers and have a good answer to all of them. Often it is about the condition of the house &#8211; how old are the windows / doors? When was the last time renovated and refurbished? What kind of insulation is available? How high are the additional costs? and and and and &#8211; be prepared for all these questions and get detailed information about your house right from the start.</p>
<p>Ignorance can unsettle potential buyers or be an excuse to lower the price. Also be open towards appraisers and understand that their buyers only want to play it safe.</p>
<h3>Market value is unknown</h3>
<p>Every homeowner still knows how much he paid for his house and how much renovation, refurbishment etc. cost. However, it often happens that the value of the property differs from the original purchase price, as property prices are determined by supply and demand. So before you put your property up for sale, you should know the value of this knowledge.</p>
<p>You can have the property value estimated by an appraiser or an estate agent and thus know better what range you can move in the price.</p>
<p>Small defects in the house can reduce the value of the property and be a reason for potential buyers to lower the purchase price. So before selling, consider whether you can have small defects repaired beforehand and thus demand a higher sales price. However, experts or real estate agents can also help you with this decision and estimate whether such an investment is worthwhile.</p>
<h3>You are not willing to negotiate</h3>
<p>As a seller, you naturally want to sell your property as profitably as possible. However, you are faced with a buyer who is the happiest at the end of the day to make a profit.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t spoil your chances of buying a house by not being willing to negotiate, but meet your buyer. There is only one thing that helps in negotiations and that is good preparation.</p>
<p>You should consider from the outset in which framework you can move and what is the absolute minimum for you. You should also have good arguments to justify your selling price. This includes, for example, a good infrastructure, the location of the house or special advantages of your property. An experienced real estate agent can also help you to prepare for a successful negotiation or even support you on site. Stubbornness can be a major hindrance and can unnecessarily prolong negotiations.</p>
<p>Get together and find a price that both parties are happy with.</p>
<h3>Wrong / too few interested parties</h3>
<p>Each property is particularly interesting for a certain group of buyers. On the one hand, this is due to the different characteristics of real estate, such as size, location and room layout, but also to the price range in which you move. S</p>
<p>hey must be aware that your property only appeals to a certain group of interested parties. In order to spread your offer as widely as possible and thus reach as many of your interest group as possible, you should publish your expose on many different platforms. These include, for example, real estate portals, newspaper ads, but also social media. Thus you have a larger range and attract more prospective buyers.</p>
<h3>Exposé gives wrong impression</h3>
<p>The exposé is one of the most important factors in the successful sale of your property. The exposé is the first thing a potential customer sees and should therefore make the perfect first impression.</p>
<p>A bad exposé can ruin even the most beautiful house. What you should definitely pay attention to are good pictures. It helps to have them taken by a photographer, but also self-made pictures can look great. Note that the pictures are taken in daylight and the room is easy to see. In addition, it should be tidy and clean so that the potential buyer immediately feels comfortable and can imagine living there. Take pictures of all rooms and preferably also the floor plan, so that the buyer can get a clear picture of the property. Also pictures of the garden or special features of the house are good.</p>
<p>In the text of your exposé, be honest in any case. Do not give the customer false hopes or exaggerate, because this will only lead to disappointment at the viewing appointment.</p>
<h3>Purchase contract not properly checked</h3>
<p>The sales contract and the appointment with the notary are the last steps on the way to a successful house sale.</p>
<p>At the notary&#8217;s appointment the purchase contract is read out again by the notary and both parties sign it. After this appointment the contract is legally binding and the sale is completed.<br />
If you are unsure, consult a real estate agent in advance who will go through the contract and advise you. You can always make inquiries on the notary appointment itself, but the notary will not advise you. He is only responsible for ensuring that the contract is legally correct.</p>
<p>So to be absolutely sure that there are no hidden uncertainties, it is better to have the contract checked in advance.</p>
<h2>Help! 10 broker tips for the sale</h2>
<p>All you need to keep in mind &#8211; the kids are out of the house and it has become too big and too much work for you?</p>
<p>Maybe you can no longer afford to keep the house financially or you just want to move to another place. All these are reasons to sell your property, but such a sale is not an easy matter and should be well planned and organized. So that you don&#8217;t forget anything and are prepared for all eventualities, we have summarized the top 10 tips for selling your property.</p>
<h3>Calculate the sales value realistically</h3>
<p>The prices for real estate are very different in Germany. This depends above all on the location and size of the property. In rural areas, for example, prices are much lower than directly in a large city. So the best thing to do is to find out about the square meter prices in your area and compare them with prices for similar properties. In case of doubt, consult a consultant who will examine your house and estimate the value for you.</p>
<p>With a broker you have even the least effort. He takes care of the sale of the house from front to back, makes appointments for viewing and arranges the formalities. The real estate agent can, for example, make viewing appointments even when you don&#8217;t have time, because this saves you time and your property has a higher chance of being sold quickly. In addition, an estate agent has more expert knowledge than you and can also answer potential buyers&#8217; questions about building fabric, location or technology.</p>
<h3>Look at the costs very closely</h3>
<p>As a real estate owner you have to consider many things. These include, above all, tax and cost issues. A tenement owner, for example, must pay tax on the profit from the sale of the property if he has owned it for less than ten years. In addition, the ancillary costs of purchase are waiting for him. For owner-occupiers the sale is tax-free, but here too guidelines must be observed and the credit checked. It is best to contact the bank and get direct advice from them.</p>
<h3>Be positive towards appraisers</h3>
<p>They must be able to understand the thoughts of potential buyers, because they are making a big investment and of course want to make sure that everything is right. Therefore prospective customers often consult experts, who are to take the house under the magnifying glass. Do not be intimidated or threatened by this, although the appraiser comes to your house, he only wants to determine neutrally whether everything is in order. So be open towards appraisers and do not close yourself off, because they would certainly want to do the same as buyers.</p>
<h3>Clean out your house</h3>
<p>A house in good condition has more chances of being sold quickly than one with many faults. It helps to put in already once a thorough cleaning day, before prospective customers come to the inspection, and naturally the house to clean up. In addition, a small more deeply going Aufhübschprogramm cannot damage, in addition belong small things, like for example the squeaking door to oils or the weeds in the driveway times again most thoroughly to dispose. Nowadays there are even experts who prepare a house specifically for sale.</p>
<h3>Show your property in the best light</h3>
<p>One of the most important tips to get your property well sold is to take great pictures of it. Good and many photos show the potential buyers your house in the best light and they can make the first impression, because it counts most. Take the pictures in daylight and make sure that all details and the advantages of the house are clearly visible. You can get a professional photographer to help you or try it on your own. It is also often a good idea to take pictures of the property furnished to give buyers a direct insight into what your new home could look like.<br />
This can be more difficult if you are still living in the property, but you should place a container in front of the house in time and get rid of unnecessary ballast. Clean out the cellar, attic, garage and storage rooms and throw away everything that wastes space. But also make sure that there is enough space in the living rooms by storing decorations &#8211; like pictures &#8211; in boxes. The bedrooms in particular should be nice and airy and have as few private things as possible. The potential buyer should not feel like visiting you, but should be able to directly imagine the new furnishings.</p>
<h3>Look at your house from the outside</h3>
<p>The first impression is most important and that is what interested parties get from the outside. Before an inspection appointment is due, you should look at your house again from the outside and evaluate it as neutrally as possible. Try to arrange the front garden and the front door as beautiful as possible to leave a cultivated impression. This includes, for example, clearing the children&#8217;s toys out of the driveway, sweeping leaves or simply attaching a beautiful wreath to the front door.</p>
<h3>Check the solvency of your buyer</h3>
<p>You should definitely check the solvency of a potential buyer, because you don&#8217;t want to experience unpleasant surprises after the sale of the house. For this purpose, you can ask the buyer to provide a self-disclosure. But a credit check can also give you an insight into whether the buyer could be risky for you. It is best if your buyer can show you the bank&#8217;s financing commitment that he has obtained a bank loan to purchase the house. This way you can be very sure that the buyer will not give you any unpleasant surprises.</p>
<h3>Keep important documents ready</h3>
<p>If you are going to sell your property yourself, you should have all the important documents ready. This is important for a quick and uncomplicated sale. One of the most important documents:</p>
<ul>
<li>Official field map</li>
<li>Extract from the land register</li>
<li>Floor plans / building plan</li>
<li>Calculation of living space</li>
<li>Calculation of the converted space</li>
<li>Energy Performance Certificate</li>
<li>Building contract</li>
<li>Proofs about monument protection regulations</li>
<li>Leasehold contracts</li>
</ul>
<p>&#8230; for rented properties:</p>
<ul>
<li>Copies of rental agreements and proof of rental income</li>
<li>Settlements of operating costs for the past 3 years</li>
<li>List of modernizations / renovations</li>
<li>Handicraft invoices for all major repairs and conversions</li>
<li>Guarantee certificates</li>
<li>Invoices and operating instructions for installations such as heating, fireplace or kitchen and of course the maintenance certificates</li>
</ul>
<h2>Individual living: Sales factor own home (negotiation)</h2>
<p>The term single-family home is initially used to describe a property inhabited by people with family ties. Unlike a rented or owner-occupied apartment, there are no areas in a single-family house that are shared with other people. An exception are single-family houses with granny apartments. This is a self-contained apartment within the single-family house, which has its own entrance, kitchen and bathroom. However, these apartments are often occupied by family members such as the owner&#8217;s parents or children.<br />
This is especially true for detached single-family homes. This form of living is very individual. It offers much space and a large garden. However, the detached single-family home is also the most expensive form of living. The prices for the properties are higher than if you decide to buy an apartment.</p>
<h3>Double and row houses</h3>
<p>As an alternative to the detached single-family house, there are semi-detached and terraced houses. These forms of living are very popular, especially on the outskirts of large cities and in structurally strong regions. The plots of land are somewhat smaller because they are divided among several parties. The living space is also somewhat smaller. Nevertheless, semi-detached and terraced houses have the advantage over apartments that the building is inhabited alone. Corridors, cellars and entrance areas do not have to be shared with other people.</p>
<h3>Individual living: Sales factor</h3>
<p>Single-family homes are also considered a very individual form of living. This is especially true if the single-family home is designed by an architect based on the ideas of the future owner. The possibilities of the organization can be realized just as individually with the single family house as the size and the use of the building materials. In addition to the classic variants made of stone and concrete, wood or large-area glazing is used.</p>
<h3>Completed real estate: Move in immediately</h3>
<p>Very popular are detached houses, which are sold as a completed property. Since the construction of a house requires lengthy planning and costs a lot of time and energy, many customers who would like to live in a single-family house decide to buy one.<br />
The value of the property depends on many different factors and is determined before the sale sometimes quite elaborately. Ultimately, however, the law of supply and demand regulates the determination of the purchase price. This means that in practice you can get more money for a single-family home in need of renovation, which is in a very good location, than for a new property without the need for renovation.</p>
<p>In addition to the detached single-family home, there are semi-detached houses and terraced houses which are cheaper to build or buy, but still enjoy great popularity.</p>
<h3>Free-standing single-family house</h3>
<p>The free-standing single-family house is characterized by four exterior walls. It is located at some distance from the neighbor and is therefore the form of living with the greatest freedom and individuality. This is especially true if the single-family home is located on a large plot of land and there is no neighbor within sight or hearing distance.</p>
<p>Free-standing single-family homes achieve very high prices when selling real estate compared to other forms of living. This is not only due to the individuality of the form of living. The detached single-family home offers many possibilities to realize your own wishes and ideas of living. This is especially true when the house is owned by the resident.</p>
<p>The detached single-family houses can be divided according to their construction. If you want to sell a detached single-family house, the type of construction has an influence on the pricing. As a rule, you can charge a higher purchase price for an architect&#8217;s house than for a prefabricated house.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-24709" src="https://lukinski.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/wintergarten-nacht-licht-einrichtung-bau-landhaus-luxus-garten-abendsonne-wohnen-lukinski-immobilienmakler-lukinski-immobilienmakler.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="640" /></p>
<h3>Architectural house</h3>
<p>When building an architect&#8217;s house you can best realize your individual ideas. Put your ideas on paper and then commission an architect with a design. You can determine almost all components of the house yourself. Choose the living space, number of rooms, roof design and building materials. The house will be built according to your specifications. The cost of an architect&#8217;s house can be twice as high as for a prefabricated house that you choose from the catalog. However, for this you have implemented your individual ideas exactly.</p>
<h3>Solid house from the catalog</h3>
<p>There are a large number of companies on the market that specialize in the development and marketing of single-family homes. You can choose a model and in many cases make individual adjustments. However, the size of the living space and the load-bearing walls are fixed and cannot be changed.<br />
The solid construction can be realized in different variants. A high quality is achieved with the traditional stone-on-stone construction method. Alternatively, finished concrete elements are used. These can reduce the construction time to a few weeks.</p>
<ul>
<li>Solid house</li>
</ul>
<h3>Lightweight single-family houses</h3>
<p>Lightweight construction is considered the cheapest and fastest way to build a single-family home. The houses are available in many different variants, and the prices are very reasonable in comparison with the other types of houses. The builder-owner celebrates the topping-out ceremony after only a few days. Lightweight houses have a service life of up to 100 years and their floor plan cannot be changed afterwards.</p>
<h3>Free standing houses with granny flat</h3>
<p>Detached family homes can be equipped with a granny apartment. These houses have a larger floor space. The granny annexe is already planned during the construction phase. A subsequent integration of the granny annexe is possible if the house has sufficient floor space.</p>
<p>Granny apartments can be planned in the attic, in the basement or on a gable side. It is important that they are self-contained. Both parties live alone and are not dependent on the premises of the other party.</p>
<p>Many granny apartments have their own entrance. This is a necessary feature especially if the granny apartment is to be rented out. Alternatively, the granny apartment can be reached via a separate entrance and stairs or another door.</p>
<p>The living space of a detached single-family home can vary considerably. Small single-storey single-family homes in bungalow construction start with living spaces of 80 to 100 square meters. The average living space is between 120 and 160 square meters. Architectural houses commissioned by wealthy customers can have living spaces of several hundred square meters. House companies offer their models with living spaces of up to 250 square meters.</p>
<h3>Double houses</h3>
<p>A semi-detached house will be built on a plot of land. The owner acquires a co-ownership share in the property. Alternatively, the property is divided.</p>
<p>The two halves of a semi-detached house are identical in construction. Often the living spaces are arranged mirror-inverted. The average living space is between 100 and 160 square meters.</p>
<p>Semi-detached houses are often equipped with a cellar and have a roof shape under which the attic can be developed. In this way it is possible to extend the living space.</p>
<p>The advantage over the terraced house is that there is a gable side and the garden cannot be reached only through the living room, as is the case with mid-terraced houses. There is also a larger garden, and a garage or carport can be built more easily.</p>
<p>The construction costs and the cost of the plot are significantly lower. However, it must be taken into account that the neighbors live next to each other within hearing distance in a semi-detached house. This is especially true for balconies and terraces, which in a semi-detached house are usually directly next to each other.</p>

<h3>Terraced houses</h3>
<p>Terraced houses are identical to semi-detached houses in terms of their construction. The property is divided among the co-owners or newly surveyed. This reduces the construction costs for house and plot. The architecture of the terraced houses, which are built together, do not differ from each other. Here, too, the outbuildings are often mirror-inverted because this gives a more attractive appearance.</p>
<p>In addition to the problem of proximity to the neighbors, the row house is also affected by the poor accessibility of the garden in the middle houses. The path leads through the living room or, if possible, around the entire row of houses. In addition, the middle houses have two neighbors within hearing distance.</p>
<h3>Basement or utility room</h3>
<p>The heating system, the boiler for the hot water preparation and all connections necessary for the supply of the house can be installed in the cellar or in the utility room. The cellar has several advantages. It increases the available living space and offers many possibilities for individual use. These include the extension of the living space or the creation of a room for the practice of hobbies. The cellar can be equipped with its own access and offer storage space for bicycles or garden tools. It is also possible to furnish an office.</p>
<p>A room in the basement is regularly reserved for housekeeping. Thus the cellar offers many advantages. The disadvantage is the high cost of building a cellar. Very large houses can also have a partial basement. Nevertheless, the additional costs compared to a basement slab are usually in the five-digit range.</p>
<p>If a cellar is not built, a room on the first floor must be set up for all connections and the installation of the heating system. This is a disadvantage, since less living space is available. On the other hand, the costs for building the house are not as high.</p>
<p>When reselling, the cellar always increases the value of a house. If you, as a builder-owner, decide to build a cellar, this is definitely considered a worthwhile financial investment.</p>
<h3>Garage, carport and outbuilding</h3>
<p>Single-family houses are often extended by a carport or a garage for parking the vehicles. The outbuildings can be extended with rooms for garden tools or bicycles. Older single-family houses are often connected to outbuildings that were used as utility rooms in earlier times. These buildings often have a very good solid structure and can be used in many different ways. They increase the value of the property when sold, especially if they are in a good or very good refurbished condition.</p>
<ul>
<li>Carport</li>
</ul>
<h3>Garden: Nature and recreation in your own home</h3>
<p>Each family home has a garden attached to it, which can be very different in size. Older houses often have very large gardens. The reason for this is that the owners were self-catering and grew their own fruit and vegetables in the garden. With newer properties, the gardens are smaller and easier to maintain. This is due to a change in living structures.</p>
<p>Many owners of owner-occupied homes are involved in their work and have to accept further distances than before. A garden, which is very labor-intensive, is no longer desired. Small and low-maintenance gardens serve for recreation and relaxation. They are laid out with lawns or evergreen plants. The areas where fruit and vegetables are grown are much smaller than in earlier times.</p>
<p>In the context of real estate sales, a garden has a value-enhancing effect above all when it is very well maintained and at the same time easy to maintain. The size of the garden should be between 600 and 1,500 square meters if a value-enhancing component is to be achieved.</p>

<h3>Sell inherited house</h3>
<p>In most cases, the heirs decide on the inheritance. Even if the property is located far from the heir&#8217;s place of residence. But in exactly this situation the question arises what to do with the property. If neither inhabiting nor renting the house is an option, the most common consideration is to sell the inherited house.</p>
<p>After a house is inherited, the first step for the heir is to go to the local court. There the certificate of inheritance can be requested. This measure should also be taken if the heir is only claiming the compulsory portion. The certificate of inheritance identifies the heir as the rightful owner of the property.</p>
<p>The certificate of inheritance is issued by the probate court. The competent probate court is always the district court of the last residence under which the deceased was registered.</p>
<p>At the appointment at the probate court, the heir must prove his claim to the inheritance. This can be done through the public will, the inheritance contract or by proving the relationship with the accompanying legal succession.</p>

<h3>Sell house after divorce</h3>
<p>Those who choose to marry and be married, in most cases, have the intention to spend their life with their spouse forever and share everything that belongs to them. Nobody thinks during a marriage about the fact that there might be a divorce one day and that there might even be arguments about belongings. But in 2017 the divorce rate in Germany was over 36 percent, which shows that unfortunately not all marriages last forever. Often fraud, daily life including routine or even financial problems are the reasons for divorce.</p>

<h2>Increase in value through conversion ?</h2>
<p>An old property can be put to new use by a house conversion. Small rooms can be merged. Alternatively new rooms can be created. By extending the attic or the basement even new square meters can be gained. This opens up many possibilities for the current residents of the house, but can sometimes also be useful if you want to sell your house. Especially for old buildings with small rooms, a conversion can work wonders and attract more buyers. However, conversions involve a lot of effort and a high financial outlay. You should therefore only use it to increase the value of your property if your chances on the real estate market improve noticeably as a result.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Apartment / condominium sale &#8211; From valuation to speculation tax. In this guidebook you will find all important factors simply explained. Learn step by step how to sell an apartment or condominium so that you can also answer the question: Selling with or without an estate agent? The private sale of real estate involves many risks and sources of mistakes, starting with the apartment valuation, the offer price and the individual marketing, from &#8220;advertising&#8221; to internal customer network and off market real estate sales. Learn in the following the answers to questions like: When is a good time to sell your apartment? What documents do you need in advance to sell? And can you sell your apartment if it has not yet been fully paid for?</p>
<h2>Sale of apartment explained: Initial situation</h2>
<p>Before we get step by step deeper into the subject &#8220;selling an apartment&#8221;, first a value factor you surely know: &#8220;location, location, location&#8221;.</p>
<p>In all areas, the location of the property is what counts most, not only when selling your condominium. Regardless of whether you are selling your land, selling your house or even selling your apartment building, the location is a central valuation factor for the selling price of your property. Selling privately or &#8220;free of charge&#8221; and without an estate agent bears risks and makes the sale as well as the entire transaction (valuation up to notary and contract of sale) prone to mistakes. Selling real estate needs a good network of buyers, often real estate is not presented publicly, but only internally as off market property.</p>
<h3>Situation, location and reason for sale: Basics</h3>
<p>No matter what reason motivates you to sell: a fast processing and a sales price according to your requirements are essential. Is the condominium in a sought-after location where there is a shortage of apartments and buyers are already looking for an apartment in advertisements? Then the chances for a sale from private are very good. Nevertheless, you should be aware of the complexity of the matter and act professionally from the first moment on.</p>

<h3>Move, divorce, separation or liquidity</h3>
<p>There can be different reasons for selling a condominium. You have bought the apartment as a capital investment and are forced to part with the condominium due to a financial shortage? Or have you lived in the apartment yourself and are moving to another city for professional or personal reasons? No matter what reason motivates you to sell: A quick settlement and a sales price according to your ideas are certainly important to you.</p>
<p>If you have a very emotional attachment to the apartment, for example because you are selling it as a result of a divorce or after another drastic experience, you should carefully consider selling it privately. With emotional ties, a realistic valuation is difficult and you will face problems at the latest when it comes to negotiations about the purchase price.</p>
<h2>Emotive bond vs. realistic valuation</h2>
<p>When selling an apartment you should be aware of the complexity of the matter and act professionally from the first moment. If you have a very emotional attachment to the apartment, for example because you are selling it as a result of a divorce or after another drastic experience, you should carefully consider selling it privately.</p>
<p>With emotional ties the realistic evaluation of condition, location, furnishings etc. is much more difficult and you will face problems at the latest when it comes to negotiations about the purchase price. New owners do not pay the ideal value of the condominium, but the real value from their perspective (and also the market conditions). So even at this early stage of the sales process, the first pitfalls for the seller are waiting.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-24633" src="https://lukinski.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/grunderwerbsteuer-steuer-immobilie-kosten-immobilien-duesseldorf-architektur-lukinski.webp" alt="" width="1200" height="800" /></p>

<h2>Flow: Sell apartment in fast forward</h2>
<p>The emotional bond just described, a realistic purchase price, negotiations, all these are reasons why real estate agents are commissioned. And, just think of the many viewing appointments, the negotiations with potential property buyers or investors and the credit checks that have to be carried out in advance.</p>
<h3>Checklist: Owner questions before the sale</h3>
<p>Long before the sale of your condominium, you still have to take precautions. One of the most important questions is certainly whether you already have a (secure) follow-up property in prospect. The renovation of apartments, especially the renovation of old buildings, can increase the value of your condominium before the sale. While we are on the subject of renovation and existing buildings, you have already gathered all the necessary documents, such as <span style="font-weight: 400;">floor plan, extract from the land register, floor plans and energy performance certificate. </span>Here is a quick overview of the most important questions before you start selling your apartment.</p>
<p>9 questions that you as the owner must ask yourself before the sale:</p>
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Do you have a connecting property in prospect ?</span></li>
<li>Is there a <span style="font-weight: 400;">renovation / renovation needs of the apartment ?</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Are all documents and papers available?</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Are early repayment fees to be paid ?</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Are partition deed, building insurance, minutes of owners&#8217; meeting, housekeeping bills, list of rents, etc. available?</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Are there any statements about the maintenance of the condominium (maintenance costs) ?</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Do you want to sell inventory? </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Is there a right of first refusal?</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Value of the apartment?</span></li>
</ol>
<h3>Checklist: Time expenditure, dates, creditworthiness and viewing</h3>
<p>Then it goes only really into the matter in the apartment sale. Here it concerns in particular experience in the real estate trade, in order to avoid risks and mistakes with the housing sales in the apron. Actively it concerns in addition the marketing of the real estate. The correct platform must be found or also not, keyword off market real estates. In addition there is the time planning for the sales, from preparation over advertisement, answering of inquiries, date arrangement for inspection, examination of the credit-worthiness of the prospective customer, negotiations, sales contract, taxes and much more besides.</p>
<p>8 simple steps for selling a property:</p>
<ol>
<li>How well do you know about the sale of apartments?</li>
<li>Have you already sold a condominium?</li>
<li>Can you create a meaningful exposé?</li>
<li>How do you assess your negotiating skills?</li>
<li>Would you like to let any unknown person into your property?</li>
<li>Do you want everyone to know about your sales intentions?<br />
Tip: Off Market Real Estate</li>
<li>Are you prepared to deal with the legal requirements necessary for the sale?</li>
<li>Are you willing to take on the work and time involved in marketing your condominium?</li>
</ol>

<h2>Value apartment: Calculate purchase price</h2>
<p>There are many questions to be answered, the best answer is an expert at your side for real estate valuation. Property valuation &#8211; You have a condominium and want to know what it is worth? Of course you can immediately go to an appraiser and/or real estate agent with this question.</p>
<p>However, the exact valuation becomes important at the latest when you want to sell or bequeath the apartment. Even in the case of a mortgage &#8211; for example if you want to buy another property &#8211; the value should be determined very precisely. That is when the expert comes into play.</p>

</ul>
<h3>What influences the value of an apartment?</h3>
<p>But let&#8217;s stick to the so-called &#8220;Pi times thumb value&#8221;, a very rough value determination. In order to determine the value of your apartment, a number of &#8220;soft&#8221; factors play a role.</p>
<p>Before we get deeper into the matter of evaluation of location, building fabric, market value &amp; Co., we first ask 3 basic questions which reach us in consulting discussions with customers:</p>
<ul>
<li>How can I value a property?</li>
<li>Who determines the market value of a property?</li>
<li>How does the bank value a property?</li>
</ul>
<h3>Location, location, location: value enhancement and sales argument</h3>
<p>This refers to all those things that you can see but cannot immediately translate into money or other value. First and foremost, this means, for example, the so-called micro and macro location of the apartment, i.e. the view of the immediate and regional surroundings. Whether your apartment is located on a busy street or in a quiet suburb, whether the surroundings of your apartment are rather middle-class or socially disadvantaged &#8211; all these &#8220;soft&#8221; conditions influence the value of your apartment.</p>
<p>Always in demand: the city center.</p>

<h2>Planning and preparation of the sale</h2>
<p>When planning the sale of a condominium, there are some special features to consider.</p>
<h3>Documents and additions</h3>
<p>In addition to the classic documents (land register entry, floor plan, etc.), in which the apartment does not differ from the home, other documents and evidence are required. This is especially true if it is a community of owners or a rented condominium as a capital investment.<br />
owners&#8217; association or a rented out condominium as a capital investment&gt;/block quota&gt;<br />
When planning the sale of a condominium, there are some special features that must be taken into account. In addition to the classic documents, in which the apartment is not different from the owner-occupied home, other documents and proofs are required. This is the case if it is a community of owners or a rented condominium as a capital investment.</p>
<h3>Ownership, residual redemption and taxes</h3>
<p>One of the important documents to be organized in any case is the extract from the land register, which gives clarity about your ownership. However, if you still pay off the apartment and the bank is in the land register, you should reach an agreement before the planned sale and discuss the remaining repayment in detail. A floor plan is mandatory and also the proof of fire insurance, the building description and the energy certificate must be obtained.</p>
<h3>Extract from the land register to floor plan</h3>
<p>One of the important documents to be organized in any case is the extract from the land register, which gives clarity about your ownership. However, if you still pay off the apartment and the bank is in the land register, you should reach an agreement before the planned sale and discuss the remaining repayment in detail.</p>
<p>A floor plan is mandatory and also the proof of fire insurance, the building description and the energy certificate must be obtained. If you hire a real estate agent to sell the apartment, you can insist on the commission payment by the buyer according to the law. In the case of a rental, you as the owner bear the costs, which makes it easier to decide between selling the condominium and renting it out.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-24601" src="https://lukinski.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/architekt-zeichnung-papier-haus-bau-verkauf-kauf-bauen-hilfe-tipps-lukinski-immobilienmakler.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="800" /></p>
<h3>Trap: Financial loss by waiving tax savings</h3>
<p>Even with private sales you cannot do without external professional support. As a rule, you will need a lawyer or notary public to draw up and execute the purchase contract.</p>
<p>A tax advisor can be useful if you have rented out your condominium so far and now want to know about the changes in tax revenue. Since an objective market value assessment is also recommended for the sale, you will also need a surveyor or expert. All these services are subject to costs &#8211; your costs!</p>
<p>The bottom line is that the costs for individually commissioned services for the sale of the condominium are higher than if you cooperate directly with an estate agent and decide for all services from one source. Plan the sale of your condominium advantageously and calculate how you can save money, spend the least amount of time and do not have to go to a different contact point for each service.</p>
<p>Remember: the estate agent only costs money when the purchase is perfect. And it is usually the buyer who pays!</p>
<h3>Who pays the brokerage fees?</h3>
<p>If you hire an estate agent to sell the property, you can insist on the buyer&#8217;s commission payment according to the law. In the case of a rental, you as the owner bear the costs, which makes it easier to decide between selling the condominium and renting it out.</p>
<h2>Owner parties and new owners</h2>
<p>If you sell an apartment in your own property, this problem is not an issue. However, in the case of properties managed by third parties or belonging to several owners, the German Condominium Act stipulates that all parties to the ownership must agree to your sale and the new owner.</p>
<p>Surely, you will first ask yourself why the owners of other apartments have a say in your sale. The legislator provides for it this way, since every condominium has, in addition to the private areas, various jointly managed rooms and areas.</p>
<h3>Multiple owners ?</h3>
<p>Years ago you purchased a condominium in a property managed by several owners. Or is a property manager the contact person with whom you communicated at the time of purchase and who decided on the approval? Then the sale of the condominium can pose greater challenges.</p>
<h3>Sale in communities of owners</h3>
<p>A private sale can turn out to be a complex, almost unsolvable task. On the other hand, the sale of the condominium through a local broker who is familiar with condominium communities and has many years of experience in selling apartments in managed investments.</p>
<h3>Owners&#8217; meeting</h3>
<p>A clarification of the ownership structure is also necessary if you sell an apartment in a property owned by a community of heirs. Wherever you are not listed in the land register as the sole owner of the entire complex, special considerations must be taken into account when selling an apartment. In most cases, a meeting at the owners&#8217; meeting can be helpful and inform you to what extent the other owners understand your intention to sell and accept a new owner. You cannot ignore plausible reasons for refusal, but should seek a mutually acceptable solution with a real estate agency and the owners&#8217; association.</p>
<p>Yes, you can:</p>
<blockquote><p>What to do if the manager does not agree to the apartment sale?</p></blockquote>
<p>As a real estate agent with expertise and know-how in the sale of condominiums, we can reassure you on this point. A general refusal of the sale is usually not possible, so that you can sell your apartment.</p>
<h4>New owners: refusal, solvency and reasons for refusal</h4>
<p>Fundamental aspects for a rejection refer only to the new owner you propose and present at an owners&#8217; meeting. If there are justified doubts about the solvency of a potential new owner exceeding the purchase price, the rejection is justified and must be accepted by you.</p>
<p>Another reason for refusal of approval relates to the use plans of the property. For example, if the potential buyer foresees a commercial use of the condominium and this is contrary to the community order, the administrator, the community of owners or the community of heirs can also refuse.</p>
<p>Reasons for refusal:</p>
<ul>
<li>Doubts about solvency &#8211; Reading tip: Credit check</li>
<li>Utilization plans of the property</li>
</ul>
<h2>Mistakes &#038; Avoid risks ?</h2>
<p>If you want to sell your condominium and avoid these pitfalls from the beginning, contact a real estate agency directly. Real estate agents are contact persons with expertise who check prospective buyers&#8217; creditworthiness before making a recommendation at the owners&#8217; meeting.</p>
<p>In a personal conversation with the prospective buyers they find out the intention to use the property and can also exclude this reason for rejection in advance.</p>
<p>The recommendations made to you by real estate agents are based on the knowledge they have gained about the residential complex, the community regulations and the claims of the other owners.</p>
<p>With an estate agent&#8217;s service you exclude long negotiations and rejected buyers, so that you can have a purchase contract for the condominium drawn up promptly and arrange for the handover.</p>
<h2>Checklist &#8211; Documents for the sale of the apartment</h2>
<p>The following documents should already be available before placing a real estate ad. The energy document of identification is obligation. We will also be happy to help you with the other documents.</p>
<p>Tip! Put together a file for the sale of your apartment, which contains all the important documents. At the viewing appointment, you can not only answer questions competently, but also provide the information with certificates and official proofs.</p>
<h3>Floor plan</h3>
<p>This plan shows the area of the condominium, together with the square meters of the balcony, apartment and adjoining rooms. The layout of the rooms is also shown in the floor plan.</p>
<ul>
<li>Floor plan</li>
</ul>
<h3>Declaration of division</h3>
<p>This is a notarial deed that the buyer must receive before the sale of the apartment, because it is the basis for the notarial contract. The declaration of partition regulates the internal relationship of the apartment owner.</p>
<ul>
<li>Declaration of division</li>
</ul>
<h3>Extract from land register</h3>
<p>You can obtain a current and complete extract from the land registry. Read the excerpt thoroughly to be familiar with the legal details of the apartment, house and land. Certificate of fire insurance: This is often requested by the buyer, which is basically needed to finance the apartment. Fire insurance is mandatory in Germany.</p>
<ul>
<li>Extract from the land register</li>
</ul>
<h3>Owners meeting minutes</h3>
<p>The last 3 protocols are generally sufficient. You can also request them from the property management. The owner protocols give the buyer further information about the resolutions and plans of the owners&#8217; association. Housing allowance statement / economic plan / reserves: The last housing allowance statement, shows how the housing allowance expenses are composed monthly, how much is saved in the year and much more.</p>
<ul>
<li>Minutes of the owners&#8217; meeting</li>
</ul>
<h3>Building description</h3>
<p>If there is still a building description from the construction period of the house, then it can be presented to the buyer during the market price determination and as information.</p>
<h3>Energy certificate</h3>
<p>Usually you will receive the energy pass from the property management. For the sale of the apartment, this energy certificate is mandatory.</p>
<ul>
<li>Energy Performance Certificate</li>
</ul>
<h2>Valuation for condominiums</h2>
<p>In new buildings, but also in old buildings, the market value is the basis for the sale of a condominium. The analyses are more comprehensive than for a home that is built on its own land.</p>
<p>The size of the apartment and its furnishings, but also factors affecting the entire property are taken into account when determining the asking price. These include, for example, the condition of the communal facilities, the number of residential units in the house and the ownership structure of the other apartments.</p>
<p>Comparison prices are also determined by these other apartments and compared to your property. Because a too high purchase price extends the selling time noticeably, a too low price brings you painful losses.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-27978" src="https://lukinski.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/analyse-corona-immobilien-kauf-verkauf-trend-auswertung-insolvenz-statistik-suchanfragen-deutschland-google.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="800" /></p>
<h3>Sales price too low ?</h3>
<p>A price that is set too low leads to displeasure in the owners&#8217; meeting and causes high losses for you. You should not use the purchase price you have already paid as a basis for your current calculation. As a rule, the value of the property has risen, as has the demand for condominiums, so that you can achieve an attractive return on the sale.</p>
<p>A professional valuation will tell you how much money you are asking for the condominium and what room for negotiation you can allow. In the case of urgent sales, it is worthwhile if you allow a little leeway downwards and give us the opportunity to negotiate. We take the market value as a basis, determine comparative prices with market analyses and make sure that you achieve the desired sales price for your condominium with Lukinski.</p>

<h3>What influences the value of an apartment?</h3>
<p>But let&#8217;s stick to the so-called &#8220;Pi times thumb value&#8221;, a very rough value determination.<br />
&#8220;Soft factors&#8221; for value determination&lt;/block ratio&gt;<br />
In order to determine the value of your home, a number of &#8220;soft&#8221; factors play a role. These are all those things that you can see but cannot directly translate into money or other values. First and foremost, this means, for example, the so-called micro and macro location of the apartment, i.e. the view of the immediate and regional surroundings. Whether your apartment is located on a busy street or in a quiet suburb, whether the surroundings of your apartment are rather middle-class or socially disadvantaged &#8211; all these &#8220;soft&#8221; conditions influence the value of your apartment.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Hard factors&#8221; for determining the value</p></blockquote>
<p>The &#8220;hard&#8221; factors of the micro-location include the proximity to doctors, public institutions or cultural sites. For here, the conditions can be measured at least in terms of distance and number of available facilities.</p>
<p>Basically, the following applies here:</p>
<blockquote><p>The closer to public life, the more value these factors add</p></blockquote>
<p>The proximity of your home to public transport is also &#8211; and certainly increasingly &#8211; a plus. After all, bus and train services are becoming increasingly important in urban and rural areas in the context of the climate debate. Certainly: the availability of your own parking spaces or even an underground car park also has a positive effect on the value of your apartment.</p>
<p>Do you know the crime rate in your residential environment? This is a real &#8220;mixed factor&#8221; of hard and soft in apartment valuation. On the one hand, this rate can be &#8220;hard&#8221; by means of figures, but on the other hand, the rate of a district does not necessarily apply to the immediate street situation of your property. Especially in this area there is a lot of &#8220;felt&#8221; security or insecurity.</p>
<h2>Creditworthiness check or have it checked ?</h2>
<p>Credit assessment is central to sales. And it is a complex and time-consuming task. As indicated in the point Special features and reasons for refusal, the solvency check of potential buyers requires the greatest care. A good credit rating and financial security for the apartment purchase are not sufficient for owner associations and managed condominium complexes.</p>
<h3>Secure, high income and savings</h3>
<p>A secure and high income, as well as savings have a positive effect on the decision and show the co-owners that the buyer is able to pay for any repairs and to contribute to the community costs of the plant.</p>
<h3>Risk: credit assessment is complex</h3>
<p>The examination of interested parties is complex and time-consuming. Since large sums of money are involved, the credit assessment for the purchase of a condominium, for example, requires insight into the score, i.e. the risk assessment of the potential contractual partner. The data must be read and evaluated professionally so that the risk is assessed transparently and truthfully.</p>
<p>As a real estate agency, we take on this task when you sell your house and forward documents from interested parties to you that meet the conditions of the owners&#8217; association and are thus guaranteed not to be rejected. We also accompany you in the further sales process and are the interface between you and the buyer.</p>
<h3>Disadvantage private sale: risks, emotional attachment and low purchase price</h3>
<p>Due to the complexity of the apartment sale, a private transaction is only recommended if you already have experience and can overcome the hurdles ahead with know-how. Otherwise, the sale will be protracted, lead to rejections from potential buyers or generate losses due to a low purchase price. We screen potential buyers and offer you a comprehensive service when it comes to selling your condominium.</p>
<p>Ultimately, it is not just about placing an offer. The sale of an apartment brings with it many questions in the process. Basic information about the evaluation but also detailed ones:</p>
<ul>
<li>What documents do you need to sell an apartment? Tip: Later on we will have the checklist for documents!</li>
<li>How much does a condominium cost?</li>
<li>What is an administrator consent?</li>
<li>What is special property? Also more specific questions like:</li>
<li>What is special property and what is common property?</li>
<li>Is a water pipe special property?</li>
<li>Is balcony special property?</li>
<li>And much more</li>
</ul>

<h2>Miskates of sale: Top 6</h2>
<p>As you have already seen, the private sale of an apartment can be demanding. But worse are the risks and mistakes that can occur when selling privately. Mistakes that ultimately lead to a lower selling price and thus to direct financial losses for you as the seller. The most common mistakes made when selling an apartment:</p>
<h3>Sale under time pressure, poor preparation</h3>
<p>The effort and scope of the sale of an apartment are often underestimated. A frequent consequence is the time pressure that arises, which has a negative effect on the sales price. Mistakes in the preparation of the sale can have far-reaching consequences &#8211; not only financial ones. Finally, the buyer must also obtain financing from his bank with the information provided and documents presented. In case of insufficient preparation, the sales project can fail at any stage.</p>
<blockquote><p>Tip: Leave nothing to chance. Take sufficient time for the preparation of your apartment sale.</p></blockquote>
<p>Set the goals and plan the steps of the sale with foresight. Let our professional service support you in selling your apartment in a targeted and best possible way.</p>
<h3>Estimate the selling price realistically</h3>
<p>The value of the apartment must be determined exactly. The personal assessment of the owners often deviates far from this: The selling price is estimated too high or too low. In both cases, a financial loss is incurred and the buyer may not be able to finance the property. Our market-driven valuation is made up of various factors. In our valuation, we only consider properties that are comparable to yours. This concerns the type of property as well as the location and equipment. The determination of the purchase price is a very decisive aspect in the successful sale of an apartment.</p>
<blockquote><p>Tip: Our procedure evaluates the sold objects in your region and thus determines a realistic and market-driven sales price. Do not give away money.</p></blockquote>
<h3>Incomplete documents</h3>
<p>Obtaining and submitting documents for sale and apartment is required at every stage. Prospective buyers, authorities, offices and banks require documents or issue them. Compile all necessary documents as early as possible. Current land register excerpts are issued by the local court. Declarations of division of the housing estate are also important. The complete key data on the property, which can be found in construction plans, land register excerpts and site plans, will be requested by the serious interested party at the latest at the inspection date. If an energy pass or important documents are not available in good time, potential buyers may lose interest or the sale may fail at a later date &#8211; if, for example, the bank complains about missing documents or an excessively high purchase price.</p>
<p>Our valuation includes all information necessary to determine a fair market value. With the complete documents and a realistic statement about the property, the future buyer can also evaluate and complete all legal steps for the purchase.</p>
<h3>Do not present your property below value</h3>
<p>Today, real estate is sold online &#8211; no matter whether it is divorce, separation or inheritance. Interested parties search for suitable apartments in the social media and online databases of the Internet. Present your real estate in the best possible way and according to the target group.</p>
<blockquote><p>Tip: Before the viewing appointment and even before the first photo session, the property for sale must appear well maintained and homely.</p></blockquote>
<p>Don&#8217;t miss out on putting your property in top condition inside and out.</p>
<ul>
<li>Do not postpone repair work and maintenance any longer.</li>
<li>Clear out and create a clear impression.</li>
<li>Ensure cleanliness and a homely and appealing atmosphere.</li>
</ul>
<p>The so-called &#8220;home staging&#8221; pays off. For this purpose, the property is prepared in such a way that potential buyers feel right at home and fall in love with the apartment. We are at your disposal with advice. Some tips for home staging:</p>
<ul>
<li>Remove personal belongings before the visit.</li>
<li>Enhance the apartment visually and emotionally.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Photos: Daylight, open space and diversity</h3>
<p>But the most important factor are probably the pictures. A buyer naturally wants to see as much of the property as possible to get an idea of whether the object could be something for him.</p>
<p>In order to take great pictures of your property, there are a few things you need to consider. First of all, the rooms should be tidy and clean. Nobody is attracted to pictures of a messy apartment, because potential buyers want to imagine living in the object when they look at the pictures.</p>
<p>You should definitely take the pictures in daylight, so that the rooms can be seen very well and the buyers can estimate how much daylight falls into the rooms. Your cover picture should be the most meaningful and represent the best of the apartment.</p>
<p>The most beautiful room, the roof terrace, the open kitchen or maybe the bay window with a view. The first picture should impress and make the prospective buyer want to see the apartment. Pictures of all rooms and if available the garden/balcony/terrace, an exterior view and above all a floor plan may not be missing in any case.</p>
<p>The floor plan should never be missing, since potential buyers can get an impression of the size of the individual rooms in relation to each other and can see the layout of the rooms better. A video is also possible, although it does not replace the viewing appointment, but gives the prospective buyer a good overview.</p>
<p>Photo tips at a glance:</p>
<ul>
<li>Clean and tidy rooms</li>
<li>Daylight (speaks for bright rooms)</li>
<li>First image should be the best photo</li>
<li>Cover all rooms and surfaces</li>
<li>Floor plan ground plan</li>
</ul>
<h3>Exposé creation</h3>
<p>Pictures and texts sell your property. From the multitude of online offers, it should appeal to potential buyers &#8211; at first glance. For this, both the photos and the descriptions must appear professional and competent. We consider which group of buyers is interested in your apartment and design both the photos and the texts in the exposé accordingly.</p>
<p>Tip: Don&#8217;t underestimate the work of professionals when creating the sales exposé. We know the regional housing markets very well and know which furnishings and objects are in demand and which buyer groups specialize in them.</p>
<h3>Prepared badly for the visit</h3>
<p>Prospective buyers have important questions during viewing appointments. They need time to get a feel for the property and its surroundings. For constructional questions, competent and technically sound information is expected. When selling condominiums, detailed questions are asked about the common property, because these shares are also purchased together with the apartment.</p>
<blockquote><p>Tip: We will assist you with the possible questions during the viewing appointment. We make a pre-selection already during the selection of the prospective buyers, so that neither time nor effort is wasted.</p></blockquote>
<p>We take over the sales talks for you. We can conduct the negotiations for the sale of apartments very successfuly with years of experience. As real estate agents, we remain objective and do not allow ourselves to be pressured into making decisions.</p>
<h3>Step by step to the apartment sale: Conclusion</h3>
<p>In summary, the sale of the condominium is a project that needs good preparation. Patience and negotiation skills are essential in the selling phase. Rely on the expert&#8217;s valuation when determining the purchase price. Do not set the price too high or too low. Based on the estimated market value, decide whether the time is right for a sale. Here are the most important milestones for the sale of an apartment.</p>
<p>Floor Plan and Land Registry &#8211; Before selling your home, obtain the relevant floor plan, an extract from the land registry and other necessary documents.</p>
<p>Broker&#8217;s commission &#8211; Keep in mind that depending on the state, a broker&#8217;s commission may be due on a sale &#8211; but it pays off at all stages of the sales project.</p>
<p>Inheritance tax &#8211; When selling an inherited home, you must take into account the inheritance tax that may be payable. We will be happy to advise you on the use or sale of your inherited residential property. What do you have to pay attention to as an owner? More about selling an inherited property</p>
<p>Divorce- Even when selling an apartment or house after a divorce, there are numerous details to consider. Our experts know the legal pitfalls and problems &#8211; even in the case of an emergency sale in case of divorce. What do you have to consider? More about selling property after a divorce</p>
<p>Credit &#8211; A home can be sold despite a loan that has not yet been repaid, but there are several legal issues to be considered. Often a loan can be taken over by the future buyer. Our specialists are familiar with the basic conditions of loan repayment and takeover. More about real estate credit</p>
<p>Taxes &#8211; Even the sale of an apartment may involve certain costs, such as taxes. We can give you an initial estimate of the expected costs.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-24758" src="https://lukinski.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/schlussel-verkauf-wohnung-haus-mehrfamilienhaus-hausmeister-schluesselbund-6-wohnung-keller-dachgeschoss.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="852" /></p>
<h2>Key handover</h2>
<p>The keys will be handed over on the day the final purchase contract is signed. The buyer has paid the purchase price and in return the seller hands over the keys. Through this symbolic gesture, the &#8220;transfer of ownership and possession&#8221; is finally decided.</p>
<p>The buyer is the owner of the property on the day of signing the purchase contract. He or she can live in it or rent it out at will. This also transfers all risks and additional costs. It is up to the owner to take out insurance for the property (water damage, fire, theft &#8230;). In addition, local taxes, fees and any co-ownership work must be paid.</p>
<p>In order to legally protect yourself when handing over the keys to your rented apartment, there are a few points to consider. Surely you do not want to be stuck with unnecessary renovation costs?</p>
<ul>
<li>Good tips for handover (external): Handing over the keys</li>
</ul>
<h3>Early handover of keys (preliminary purchase contract)</h3>
<p>Many buyers want to get keys already when signing the preliminary sales contract. For example, to start construction work on the property, store fittings, etc. This early handover of keys is advantageous for buyers to save time or for convenience. However, handing over the keys early without waiting for the signing of the sales contract does involve risks for you as the seller:</p>
<h3>From the point of view of the seller</h3>
<p>If the sale does not materialize, you, as the seller, can have a resident on your own property who has no title or entitlement. Nevertheless, in case of doubt, he can stay on the property for a long time. This can be the case, for example, if the buyer does not obtain a mortgage, if the town hall exercises its right of first refusal when the buyer dies.</p>
<p>If the buyer has carried out major work, the property may have been weakened in its substance. Sometimes, while carrying out the works, the buyer may discover the existence of a construction fault and decide that he no longer wants to buy the property. In this case, the buyer may try to claim compensation from the seller for the work done, as he feels cheated.</p>
<p>If the keys have been handed over to the buyer before the sale and a disaster occurs (fire, water damage, etc.), this generally leads to problems with insurance and a claim for coverage for the disaster.</p>
<blockquote><p>For sellers, the early handing over of keys brings many disadvantages</p></blockquote>
