Buyin Berlin

Buying in Berlin is a notarial process, not a portal checkout. Budget roughly 6% Grunderwerbsteuer plus notary and land-register fees on top of the price. Foreign buyers are allowed.

Contracts are read aloud by a notary. Ownership moves when the Grundbuch is updated, not when you wire the deposit. Allow weeks, not hours. Banks may want a higher down payment from non-residents.

Mitte, Prenzlauer Berg and Charlottenburg are expensive relative to yield. Neukölln, Lichtenberg and outer Bezirke still price as cash-flow first. sivrce will not invent listings — this page stays a buying briefing until verified inventory is live.

FAQ

How long does a Berlin purchase take?
From signed notarial deed to Grundbuch entry is often 6–12 weeks, longer if a bank mortgage or pre-emption right is involved.
Are there extra taxes for foreigners?
No special foreigner tax. You pay the same transfer tax, notary and registration as a resident. Income from rent is taxable in Germany.
