The German mortgage market varies significantly from other countries. Starting from the bank’s due diligence up to the mortgage products itself.

Due diligence:

German lenders assess not only the value of your assets. Your personal and financial situation is just as important as the property’s evaluation. So be ready to answer some in-depth questions regarding your personal, income, equity, and liabilities situation. A professional broker as Baufi24 knows all questions and helps you to get everything set up in a lean and efficient way.

Mortgage products:

Interest rates are typically fixed for 5 up to 30 years. Among others, the most common kind of mortgages is the Annuity Loan (in German "Annuitätendarlehen") with capital & interest repayments and interest only loans.
The repayment of your loan is very flexible. Every year you can decide again what percentage of the loan should be repaid on a scale from 1-10%. In addition, you have the option of paying an extra amount of up to 5% of the loan annually.
Here again: We assist our clients to evaluate their financial setup and recommend the best product types based on every single case – no dependency on any certain product or lender.

Your borrowing power is driven by various variables: the property, your deposit, your working situation and income are the most important factors.

To obtain a mortgage approval from a German credit institution, you are required to provide a full set of documentation verifying your financial and personal life. The most important documents are:

• Proof of equity
• Income tax assessments
• Last 3 payslips
• Certificate of wage tax deduction
• Annual accounts (if you are self-employed)
• Property documents (e.g. building descriptions / specifications)
• Purchase contract

The land register secures all rights to real estate. Every legal right to real estate is noted in the land register. However, this means that the legal position is not confirmed until the registration in the land register. The chronological receipt is relevant here.

Newly built real estate is oftentimes unfinished at the conclusion of the contract. It can still be in development. This must be considered in the contract and it is important for the warranty rights.
The contract is not only a sales contract but also a contract for work. Therefore, other rules apply. Contracts should be checked with a special focus on warranty claims and the obligor.

German lenders only provide mortgages for properties located in Germany.
