Because of the steadily increasing property prices, you can earn very good money by selling your Dresden property. However, you should note that you not only make money from it, but can also incur costs.
The real estate market is booming like never before. The prices for land and real estate are rising steadily. The market is far from saturated. This fact attracts sellers and buyers. However, if you want to sell a house or apartment, you should pay attention to a few points so that you do not make a negative transaction or the sale becomes a burden. This goes hand in hand with the fact that both seller and buyer have certain rights and obligations when handing over a property.
Find a notary or specialist lawyer for the purchase
The lawyer or notary regulates some important points in the purchase contract for you as a seller. Please note the following:
Warranty obligation:
This point regulates how long you, as the seller, are liable for the property handed over. For example, if there is damage to the roof, you have to pay for it and repair it. If the roof is leaking, you only need to have the leak repaired - but not to replace the entire roof. The deadline is usually three years. However, there is also scope for private sellers with this clause. If you do not want to take on any warranty obligations or only want to take over parts of the property, you should have this point meticulously stated in the purchase contract. However, this exclusion of the warranty obligation applies only to private individuals, but not to companies.
The care lies with the seller of the property:
The point should also be contractually stipulated that you, the seller, provide notarial proof that you have paid all taxes (municipal taxes, operating costs) by the deadline.
Have your energy certificate drawn up:
The seller is obliged to have an energy certificate drawn up. This happens either through the developer or from companies that specialize and are liable. You hand over this energy certificate to the buyer at the latest 14 days after the contract is signed. It is noted by a notary / lawyer that you as the seller assume no liability for the correctness of the energy certificate.
Taxes and tax exemptions:
Of course, taxes on the sale of your property also result from the proceeds. You must pay this properly to the relevant tax office using the “property income tax”.
Main residence exemption
This clause stipulates that sales up to 1000 square meters are tax-free if the property to be sold was reported in the span of residence. It is irrelevant whether your property is an old building or a new building.
Manufacturer exemption
If you have built your property yourself using your own resources - this means building at your own economic building risk - you can post the profit tax-free.
Attorney and notary fees
When calculating these costs, there are filigree differences between buyer and seller. As a seller, consult a lawyer, pay his hourly rate or a flat rate. If the buyer consults a specialist, he pays 1.2 to 3 percent of the purchase price of the entire property.
Conclusion:
There is a multitude of real estate offers, real estate agents and buyers on the net. Take your time with the sale, take a look at some buyers, have credit checks carried out if necessary, and above all listen to your intuition.
