Document library
Which documents do you need for your house or apartment?
A clear overview for buying and selling in Berlin. Each page explains what the document means, who obtains and signs it, whether a power of attorney is enough, and how we can help.
Usually required
Land register, energy certificate, ID and contract documents.
Depends on the property
Building file, declaration of division, owners’ association documents and tenancy papers.
We coordinate
With a power of attorney we request many documents from authorities, banks and managers.
Checklist
Documents for almost every sale
These documents are the basis for review, marketing and financing.
Current land register extract
The official proof of who the owner is and what rights and encumbrances exist on the property.
Energy performance certificate
The legally required document with energy performance indicators and information on the energy quality of the building.
Buyer's Financing Confirmation
A declaration from the buyer's bank stating that the financing for a specific purchase project is generally secured.
Property questionnaire and information on defects
The structured collection of all information that buyers need regarding the condition, use, rights, and known problems.
Checklist
House, plot and planning law
For houses, permits, plot boundaries and public-law encumbrances matter most.
Checklist
Condominium and owners’ association (WEG)
Here the community regulations decide what belongs to the unit and which consents are needed.
Checklist
Bank, notary and closing
These documents arise or become important once a buyer is found – including the property documents the buyer’s bank requires for financing.

The contract that makes the real estate sale legally binding and regulates the transfer of ownership, payment, and handover.
Bank's Consent to Deletion
The bank's declaration that a registered land charge (Grundschuld) may be deleted after repayment.
Bank documents for buyer's financing
Which documents the buyer's bank requires for loan approval – and why a good energy performance certificate now plays a key role in the sale.
