Donation, handover & incidental costs
We support and advise on the preparation and drafting of gift and transfer agreements as well as their execution in the land register. The incidental costs associated with the sale or purchase or donation are as follows (as of February 2023): The real estate transfer tax may be reduced in certain cases (within the family): More info / Read more under FAQs. If it is intended to resell the acquired property or land immediately or within a short period of time, the court registration fee may be waived under certain circumstances ("jump registration"): Further information / Read more under FAQs. Incidental costs can therefore be considerable depending on the amount of the purchase price of the property (or could be partially avoided) and should in any case be taken into account during planning and included in the calculation. Professional legal advice and enforcement may be able to save significant portions of these costs. We will be happy to provide you with comprehensive advice on how to avoid fees.
