Preparing your property for sale: Riedberg
Review development records, access and parking rights, and heating or utility contracts. If the property is part of an owners’ association, add its rules and reserves.
How should you assess an asking price?
Use regional market reports and suitable comparables with a clear reference date. Land reference values relate to land; they are not a universal price per square metre for an apartment. Check floor area, tenancy, energy condition and third-party rights before applying a price. An individual assessment requires the property’s records.
How to set an asking price for German propertyPreparing your property for sale
- Gather the land register extract, floor plans, living-area calculation and energy certificate.
- For apartments: check service charges, reserves, resolutions and planned communal works.
- For tenanted property: document leases and rent payments, and coordinate viewings.
- Clarify financing, costs and potential tax questions before the notary appointment.
Common questions
Can I sell while living abroad?
Preparation and communication can be managed remotely. Agree any representation at the sale and the required form of power of attorney with the German notary before signing documents abroad.
Is there a reliable fixed selling price for the area?
No. A city or district average does not account for the condition, tenancy or rights attached to a particular property. A price range should reflect suitable comparables and the actual property records.
