Your Way to Purchase an Apartment 

Don’t pay any commission – buy directly from the developer!

Purchasing your property takes several steps. Depending on the stage of construction, we support you within this process. Learn more about the three development stages below. We are happy to guide you on your journey to ownership.

Buying real estate or a condominium is often the most significant investment in life. In Germany, this process is regulated by the “Makler- und Bauträgerverordnung” (MaBV). At Liven, we prioritize to make you feel safe through the entire process and trust us.

Our commitment is to provide you with maximum financial security.
To ensure this and to give you the opportunity to select and co-design your apartment in advance, you can secure your property with us through a small deposit. The full purchase price is payable only upon the completion and handover of your apartment.

We are happy to demonstrate a calculation for our Berlin project and potential financing models in a personal consultation.

 

Acquisition process

Once you decided which apartment to go for and got in touch with us, you can reserve your desired apartment with us. This reservation is subject to a fee but can be withdrawn at any time. During the reservation period, we will discuss the layout of your apartment together.

Next, the draft purchase agreement will be set up by the notary. After a 14-day period, the apartment can then be officially certified. Once your apartment is certified, both the notary fees and the property transfer tax (together approximately 8% of the purchase price) are to be paid. This initial cost is typically paid from your own equity. Additionally, when construction work begins, the first installment of 15% of the purchase price will be due, as an alternative to the 30% required under the MaBV. Depending on the contract model, you will pay the remaining purchase price upon the completion and handover of your apartment. Your financial security is our top priority!

Alternatively, you have the option to pay the purchase installments according to the regulations in the MaBV as construction progresses. If you have any questions regarding payment methods and financing models, we are happy to assist you.

Otherwise, you have the option to pay the purchase installments as the construction progresses, as specified in the MaBV. If you have any questions regarding payment terms or financing models, we are happy to assist you.
