What are typical mistakes made by first-time buyers from your experience as a real estate agent and how can these be avoided?
Frauke Helble: In general, buying a property is a long-term investment. When planning, one should consider how long the intended period of use is and possibly align this with the loan term. Alternatively, there is usually the option to rent out the property should spatial needs change.
Land transfer tax and purchase ancillary costs
FIV: The purchase price of a property is one thing, but what additional costs and taxes do buyers in Karlsruhe have to consider?

In addition, there are purchase additional costs of about 2% for notary and land register fees. If the property is purchased through a real estate agent, the commission of usually 3% plus VAT also applies. Smaller items may be added in individual cases.
