Document background
The Sale Certificate Of Immovable Property is a crucial document in German real estate transactions, required whenever ownership of real property is transferred between parties. This document must be executed before a German notary public and complies with strict requirements under German property law, including the Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch (BGB) and Grundbuchordnung (GBO). It is used for both residential and commercial property transfers and must include specific details about the property, parties, purchase price, and conditions of sale. The certificate forms the basis for registration in the German land register (Grundbuch) and typically includes or references supporting documentation such as energy certificates, land surveys, and building permits. Its preparation and execution require careful consideration of German property law, tax implications, and regulatory requirements.
