Checklist for first-time buyers: your guide to a successful real estate purchase

Buying a property is a significant step and needs to be well thought out. Whether you want to fulfill your dream of owning your own home or invest in a property as an investment - a structured approach is crucial. To make this process easier for you, we at Von Poll Immobilien Starnberg / Fünfseenland have created a checklist for first-time buyers. This checklist will help you to consider all the important points and make informed decisions.

Why a checklist?

Many factors play a role when buying a property: from financial preparation and property selection to signing the contract and the final handover. With our checklist, you will always have an overview and can plan each step carefully.

Important contents of the checklist

Our checklist guides you through the entire purchase process in a structured manner:

1. Financial preparation
• Check equity and financing options
• Calculate additional costs (notary fees, land transfer tax, estate agent's commission)
• Calculate your monthly financial capacity
2. Financing
• Compare financing offers from banks
• Possible subsidies, e.g. for the purchase of a house or apartment
• Calculate the amount you can afford. B. KfW loans
3. Property search & viewing
• Define requirements for the property (house or apartment, location, furnishings)
• Research suitable properties and plan viewing appointments
• Analyze the condition of the property and estimate any renovation costs
4. Check the documents
• Excerpt from the land register, land register, register of encumbrances and declaration of division
• Review utility bills and minutes of owners' meetings
5. Purchase decision & contract negotiations
• Conduct price negotiations and secure financing commitment
• Purchase contract review by notary or lawyer
6. Closing & handover
• Notary appointment and land register entry
