Buying and selling real estate  

The situation is quite different, however, if you do not intend to use the property itself as a residential property. For example, if you buy an office apartment for business activities, you can claim a considerable portion of the costs against tax. The same applies if you intend to rent out the apartment or house.

However, before you make a final decision to buy, you should know what you need to be aware of.
First of all, you should look at the market situation and the associated purchase prices. Since there have been significant increases in prices here, especially in recent years, this can be very challenging in some circumstances. Therefore, we recommend that you seek the advice of a professional. Since we already have years of experience and a good eye for pricing, we would like to take this opportunity to invite you to get professional advice from us and share your ideas with us.
Here, for example, it is extremely important to consider the relationship between the purchase price and the expected rental income, as your investment can quickly turn out to be a zero-sum game or even unprofitable.
Another very important point is of course the location of a real estate. Not all properties have the potential to generate a solid and stable return. Apart from a bad location, shortcomings in the property itself can also be decisive for this. Therefore, it is essential to determine both the building fabric and to take a qualified look in, for example, the basement and the attic.
You should also have important documents shown to you, such as the utility bill. The reason for this is that, especially if heating costs are high, you can assume that the insulation of the property may not be adequate.
Last but not least, we strongly recommend that you bring equity with you when investing in real estate. Depending on the object, it should be between 10 percent and 20 percent.
Also the additional costs such as notary, broker, land transfer tax and land registry, which should be due at the time of purchase, should be considered carefully. The amount of the incidental purchase costs is affected by various facts. For example, it varies depending on whether the property is being bought or built, on the purchase price and on the region in which it is located.
The financing is an important and decisive point. You should definitely compare different credit offers and of course make sure that in the best case there is a fixed interest rate, so that you can calculate optimally.
