Legally secure property purchase in Braunschweig – process, documents and statutory costs at a glance.
The purchase or sale of real estate requires notarization under Section 311b of the German Civil Code. As notaries, we guide buyers and sellers neutrally through the entire process – from the draft contract through notarization to the transfer of ownership in the land register.
We notarize purchase contracts for condominiums, houses, commercial properties and undeveloped land, as well as the associated land charges for your financing.
You send us the key data – most easily via our data collection form from the download center.
We prepare the draft purchase contract and send it to all parties for review.
For consumer transactions, a statutory review period of at least two weeks applies.
The deed is read aloud in full, explained and signed by all parties (approx. 30–60 minutes).
We arrange the priority notice, permits and release of encumbrances and notify you when the purchase price is due.
After payment and tax clearance, ownership is transferred in the land register.
Notary fees are fixed by law (GNotKG) and identical at every notary in Germany. They depend on the purchase price.
Example purchase price €300,000: notarization fee (2.0) €1,270, plus execution fee (0.5) €317.50 and supervision fee (0.5) €317.50, expenses and VAT. Land registry fees (priority notice, transfer of ownership) and, if applicable, the costs of a land charge are added. As a rule of thumb: notary and land registry costs together amount to approx. 1.5–2% of the purchase price.
