Cities

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.

FAQ
