What does an apartment cost in Berlin?

The price per square metre depends heavily on borough, location, year of construction and condition, ranging from simpler outer areas to high-priced inner-city quarters in Berlin. Blanket figures mislead. For every apartment we determine the market-appropriate price from current comparable sales and the specific micro-location.

What purchase costs apply when buying an apartment?

Purchase costs include land transfer tax, notary and land registry fees, and where applicable the agent's commission. In Berlin they usually total around ten to twelve percent of the purchase price. These costs must generally be covered from equity and should be factored into your financing.

How high is the land transfer tax in Berlin?

In Berlin the land transfer tax is six percent of the purchase price. It is assessed by the tax office after the notarised purchase contract and is a prerequisite for the transfer of ownership in the land register. For an apartment at 500,000 euros, that is 30,000 euros from equity.

Who pays the agent's commission when buying an apartment?

When buying a condominium, the principle of commission sharing has applied since December 2020: buyer and seller each bear half of the broker's commission. In Berlin, the buyer's share is usually 3.57% including VAT — with us, typically 2.97% of the purchase price, for the buyer and the seller respectively. We disclose the exact amount transparently for every property.

Should I buy a vacant or a tenanted apartment?

A vacant apartment you can move into or re-let yourself, and it usually achieves higher prices on resale. A tenanted apartment is cheaper and provides rental income from day one, but ties you to the existing tenancy. Which option fits depends on your goal.

Is an apartment worth buying as an investment in Berlin?

Berlin is one of Europe’s largest and most dynamic residential property markets. A growing population, limited housing supply and consistently strong demand for housing provide a solid long-term foundation for property investors. Condominiums offer the opportunity to combine regular rental income with long-term capital appreciation. Whether a specific property is a suitable investment depends on factors such as location, purchase price, tenancy situation and future development potential. A careful assessment of these factors helps investors evaluate opportunities and risks and make informed decisions.

What does Milieuschutz mean when buying in Berlin?

Milieu protection areas provide property owners and investors with a clearly defined regulatory framework. Residential use is safeguarded over the long term, while speculative condominium conversions and extensive changes to the housing stock are restricted. Modernization and energy-efficiency measures generally remain possible, although certain works may require approval. For buyers, this creates greater transparency regarding the future development potential of a property and often contributes to stable residential and neighborhood structures. When selling or acquiring a property in a milieu protection area, an early assessment of the applicable regulations is advisable.

What does an apartment building cost in Berlin?

The price of an apartment building in Berlin is influenced by a range of local and broader market factors. In simple terms, the market value is determined by the interplay between the income multiple and the price per square metre.

The income multiple primarily reflects financing conditions and investor sentiment. When interest rates are low, buyers are generally willing to pay higher multiples. As financing costs rise, purchasing power declines, resulting in lower achievable multiples.

The price per square metre, by contrast, is driven more strongly by location, building quality, condition and future potential. Prime locations tend to achieve higher values through elevated square-metre prices, while in less central or less sought-after locations, the income multiple often becomes the more important valuation metric.

A reliable valuation therefore considers both factors, together with the specific characteristics of the property.
