82 cities, each with its own transfer tax

Grunderwerbsteuer is state law — the same apartment costs a different surcharge in Munich and Cologne. Every city carries buy and rent anchors plus its local rate.

Rentals run on rules

The rent side, in three lines

  • Deposits cap at three months’ cold rent (§551 BGB) and must sit on a separate savings account.
  • Mietpreisbremse caps new leases above local comparative rent in tight areas; Berlin’s Mietspiegel sets the benchmark.
  • Modernization may be passed on at 8% of cost per year (§559 BGB) — check the Anpassung history before you underwrite.

Qualitative anchors only — live numbers come from the official city Mietspiegel, never a hardcoded table.

Developers

The builders behind the pipeline

Municipal landlords, premium Bauträger and boutique owner-run developers — tracked from Handelsregister to handover.

Hesse imposes a 6.0% Grunderwerbsteuer. Notary and land-registry fees add roughly 1.5–2.0%. Frankfurt offers liquid 1- to 3-room apartments popular with banking, ECB, and management consulting professionals.

Westend, Holzhausenviertel, and Diplonatenviertel represent the high-end freehold segment, while Sachsenhausen, Nordend, and Bornheim provide lively urban character with strong tenant retention.

FAQ

What are the total buyer closing costs in Frankfurt?
Expect roughly 7.5–8.0% in statutory closing costs (6.0% transfer tax + 1.5% notary/registry), plus buyer broker commission (up to 3.57% incl. VAT) when applicable.
Is Frankfurt off-plan property safe for foreign investors?
Yes. German developer projects are strictly regulated by the Makler- und Bauträgerverordnung (MaBV), ensuring payments are released only upon certified construction milestones.
