Expats Guide to Buying a House in Germany (English Book)
There is a ton of content available on buying a property in Germany. But it is in German. The foreign language makes it difficult for non-German speakers to absorb the information.

- How to contact the seller?
- What documents should you check before buying a house in Germany?
- How do you get a mortgage from a German bank?
- How do you negotiate mortgage and property prices?
- Average renovation costs in Germany
- and more...
Buying a home in Germany is time-consuming and involves a lot of money. Hence, educate yourself to make an informed decision.
We also shared tips and tricks to save thousands of euros in your home-buying process.
You'll find the book helpful irrespective of whether you want to rent or live in the house. If you plan to rent the property, you'll also need the following documents.
- Rental contract
- Übergabeprotokol
- Wohnungsgeberbescheinigung
