Selling an apartment

Selling an apartment

We sell your apartment, whether let or owner-occupied. We take care of the owners' association documents that buyers and banks ask for.

In short

Which documents do I need to sell an apartment?

Besides the land register extract and the energy performance certificate, above all the owners' association documents: declaration of division, the minutes of the last three owners' meetings, the service charge statement, the budget plan and the maintenance reserve. We compile these documents with you and sell let apartments specifically to investors.

Still undecided? Then let us start with a figure.

A free valuation places you under no obligation. Afterwards you will know what your apartment is worth and can decide calmly whether and when to sell.

Before you advertise

Why apartment sales often fail

With an apartment, the owners' association matters too.

Incomplete owners' association (WEG) documents

If the declaration of division, minutes or service charge statements are missing, banks and buyers drop out. We tell you in advance exactly what is needed.

The wrong buyer group

A vacant apartment usually achieves more from owner-occupiers, while a let one appeals to investors. Mixing the two means selling below value.

Service charge and reserve fund ignored

A high service charge (Hausgeld) or a thin reserve fund will push the price down if nobody puts them into context. We prepare the figures so that buyers understand them.

Price

What your apartment is worth

Five factors that determine the price of an apartment.

  • 01
    Location & floorFloor, balcony and lift have a clear effect on the price.
  • 02
    Condition of the apartmentBathroom, kitchen, floors, windows. Whatever has been modernised pays off when you sell.
  • 03
    Condition of the buildingThe roof, façade, heating and the owners' association's reserve fund all help determine the price.
  • 04
    Service charge & reserve fundBuyers factor in the running costs. A healthy reserve fund is a selling point.
  • 05
    Let or vacantEach has its own group of buyers. The right positioning achieves the better price.
