International buyer share

Stable demand for prime addresses

Charlottenburg, Grunewald, Mitte, and Dahlem continue to outperform the wider market. Limited supply of period-conversion Altbau and standalone villas anchors values even through wider cycles.

International capital, local rules

Berlin remains open to foreign buyers without restrictions on residential ownership. German notarial process, financing checks, and Bestellerprinzip rules apply uniformly — predictability is one of Berlin's strengths.

New-build vs. Altbau

New-build commands a premium for energy efficiency (KfW/EnEV). Altbau retains its character premium in core neighborhoods. We help clients weigh both against long-term yield and lifestyle goals.

Buyer Guide

From First Viewing to Keys

A clear, seven-step process — designed to remove friction and avoid surprises.

  1. 01

    Discovery & Brief

    We start with a confidential conversation about your goals, budget, lifestyle, and timeline — whether the purchase is for primary residence, investment, or family use.

  2. 02

    Curated Search

    We combine public listings with our off-market network to present a shortlist that genuinely fits — not just everything available.

  3. 03

    Viewings

    Private appointments at a pace that suits you. We handle all logistics, including international clients viewing virtually before flying in.

  4. 04

    Due Diligence

    Title, building reserves, energy certificate, owner's association minutes, and tenancy status — checked before you commit.

  5. 05

    Offer & Negotiation

    We position your offer with the market context to support it, and negotiate on your behalf with discretion.

  6. 06

    Financing & Notary

    We coordinate with your bank or our financing network and prepare the German notarial appointment — bilingual where needed.

  7. 07

    Handover & Aftercare

    Keys, meter readings, and registration support. We stay on call long after closing — most clients return for their next move.

Costs of Acquisition

Tax & Fee Overview

In Germany, ancillary costs sit on top of the purchase price and must be paid in cash — they cannot be financed by the mortgage.

The figures below are the standard Berlin position. We walk every client through the exact numbers for their specific transaction at the offer stage.
