Young home buyers are often not careful enough

December 11th, 2011

A study of the Mannheim mortgage discount mortgage lender has revealed that young German be derelict in the financing of a home with their own economic opportunities.

Older buyers would proceed with planning on the other hand much more circumspect. The information for consumers, the company reported in Berlin. Youthful recklessness in the fulfillment of a dream? After all, there is a majority of young Germans owned their own property as a desirable life-long dream of.

As the investigation of mortgage discount was to go the 18 – to 24-year-old who are interested in purchasing a property in his own account, by a lot of low-income rates, which they deem necessary to cover the financing. The Society for Consumer Information wrote on her website that, according to study, 18 percent expect in this age cohort from the fact that one already sufficient monthly income of 1,500 € to pay off a loan of 150,000 euros can secure. In contrast, the elderly represented only eight percent of this view. As announced by the Society for Consumer Information Portal powered Vergleich.de, is for the operation of such a loan, however, a net monthly salary of at least 2,000 euros needed.

On the topic of additional costs incurred through construction loans, according to the younger ones would go to the Portal risk: 74 percent of respondents in the study would see no problem with that. In the age group of pensioners and retirees, however, gave more than half of all respondents to want to take no extra burden. A similar picture emerged from the purely mathematical question of the remaining debt. The task was to determine how high is this remaining debt on a loan in the amount of 150,000 € after ten years if the repayment is begun at a rate of one percent. Among the over 45-year-olds as much as 35 percent came to the correct answer (130,000 €), while among 18 – to 24-year-olds, only 17 percent came to the solution. All this paints a rather carefree picture of dealing with finances in the younger Germans. Especially with this would be so obviously a “great need for information when it comes to mortgages,” the company concluded for consumer information.

The commercial real estate market is unimpressed by market turmoil

November 16th, 2011

Took place in Munich on 4 to 6 October, the Expo Real, the European real estate exhibition, held. In the first statement at the opening of the exhibition took some big consulting firms related to the turmoil that currently dominate the market – and showed them largely unimpressed.

Two studies by Jones Lang LaSalle and BNP Paribas Real Estate come to the optimistic conclusion that in 2011 the volumes of transactions in the German investment market for commercial real estate (LaSalle 24 billion euros, BNP 22 billion euros), the figures from last year will be significantly exceeded. Although these values ​​are still a good distance away from those that were written before the outbreak of the financial crisis in 2008, but did expect the current purchase negotiations that “will continue the momentum in the fourth quarter,” said as Marcus Lemli, Jones Lang LaSalle Germany . For this reason, bears the study by Jones Lang LaSalle also the least zweckoptimistischen Title: “The disaster is just wishful thinking?”

To claim the safe would be a little exaggerated. But in fact, the German investment market for commercial real estate, with the most important in Europe, market turmoil and debt crisis hardly intimidated. This is the result, the BNP Paribas Real Estate Germany, as its managing director Piotr Bienkowski said: “Germany continues to benefit from the favorable economic conditions and stability in comparison to other countries”. At the same time he admitted, however, that the transactions focused primarily on fully tenanted properties in prime inner-city areas of cities.

Whether the confident analysis of Jones Lang LaSalle and BNP Paribas Real Estate will find universally accepted everywhere, it is doubtful indeed. The fact is that the commercial real estate markets always act with a certain chronological delay. Most of these markets have only just recovered from the deep trough of the financial crisis of 2008 and 2009, this relaxation could now be thwarted by the current events of the debt crisis. The boom in this segment can be over so abruptly, even before he recorded properly ride.

Gagfah wants to take home sales by € 300 million

October 1st, 2011

About 155,000 homes nationwide are owned by the Gagfah (Charitable Society for employee stock-homes), but when it comes to the company, it will soon be much less. Approximately € 300 million to bring the proposed sale of residential units to customers and competitors, as the head of the company, William Brennan, the “Business Week,” said.

4,000 apartments would repel Gagfah accordingly as soon as possible. In recent years, the company redeemed by the sale of entire apartment buildings belonging to the Gagfah about 1.2 billion euros, said the news magazine “Focus”. It added that the Group through the sale would “enhance its liquidity.” Neglect let the arisen in recent criticism, the company’s apartments, Brennan countered however, by pointing out that the Gagfah wanted to invest in 2011 about 90 million euros in real estate, which would mean, according to the CEO, an increase of 23 percent over 2010 – or the equivalent of ten euros for each square meter, which are in the possession of Gagfah.

Another trouble threatens the company is currently in Dresden. 2006, it bought the Gagfah communal apartments in the Saxon capital, which meant that between the municipality and the company at that time a social charter was drafted, in order to protect tenants from excessive rent increases. The city of Dresden on the part of the group, however, sees a violation of this Social Charter and will therefore present an action against the Luxembourg company, whose German headquarters are located in the Westphalian food.

Checklist house for sale – To-do list for sellers of real estate

September 14th, 2011

While the booming real estate industry is no longer, like 20 years ago. And the gap is also evident in the price range, but both buyers and Seller, there are still en masse. It can be observed, however, that breaks away the middle class, very expensive (not included) or real estate very convenient (easily affordable) houses can still present on the market well and will also find a buyer within a reasonable time.

For the buyer is purchasing is (almost) straightforward. If he approves of the Bank for the financing has, he likes the property, then the contract is really nothing to prevent.

However, the seller must do before the first efforts to sell some homework. If the sale is to run through a real estate broker, the seller should provide the following documents or arrange:

- Current land title deed

- Plan of the property

- Floor plans of the object

- Views of the object

- Calculations of the object

- If necessary specifications of the object
The current abstract of title

This ensures the real estate broker from that person, acting as seller, in fact owner of the property. Also, the broker is established using the current land registry extract, whether third parties have rights to the property, this would possibly the sale more difficult.
Site plan, floor plans and views of the object

The buyer usually needs these documents for the financing. In addition, a property for clients is much more interesting when seen is whether the existing floor plan is designed for your needs and can be implemented.

Professional photos of the property makes the real estate agents themselves usually, unless the seller has excellent pictures of his property, showing both the house and the condition of timely and optimal manner.
Calculations of the object

Here are meant to rule the living area calculation and the calculation of the converted space. These documents are also required by the Bank for financing. Moreover, these documents, especially the living area calculation required to make to a correct value for the sizes of the rooms.
Specifications of the object

Some buyers are very interested in the construction details of the property you want to purchase it. Here all the materials and structures are visible (for example, wall structure). The building description is a fairly reliable idea of ​​the basic substance of the building.

The seller has to do so before selling the house a lot. It is true that the o.g. Documents can be purchased over the sales effort, but usually the seller does not sit out this.

All documents must be received by calling the local building authority or the land registry.

Young people rely on private homes – and thus security

September 6th, 2011

From a search of the youth vernacular likes to talk, but how are things with you to take risks when it comes to their own four walls? Surprisingly, it could be seen most clearly so that their own four walls do not even have so stuffy as one might think. A study of LBS brings to light: About three-quarters of adolescents has indicated no fear, later to want to own a home. This is quite unexpected.

96 percent of all those young people who would like to adulthood have their own property, indicate as a reason not to want to be dependent on a landlord. Close behind (93 percent), the study is the argument to have a house and a lasting value. With 92 percent of the statement follows almost the same level, to meet with their own property, a pension plan, and again only one percentage point behind the argument ended, a large home with a long-term financial advantage to have over a homes found. Even the prospect of a higher quality of life in their own dwelling and an indication of the money to better use for the principal and interest instead of rent payments, achieved with 88 and 83 percent had high values.

The most startling logical conclusion from these numbers that is certain, that the majority of young people interviewed a real estate purchase as retirement and see it as a safety aspect. Furthermore, the study brought to light that only about 24 percent of respondents want safe or fairly safe move away from where they currently live, more than twice as many stated, however, the current place of residence, under any circumstances or only extremely reluctant to want to leave . About one third of young people surveyed did not target according LBS.

Caution: real estate agent liable for rash statements

August 30th, 2011

The Higher Regional Court Hamm has decided that a real estate broker just needs to be financially responsible if he sells the object of his client to a disadvantageous for the contract. This can happen for example if the agent simultaneously with the client agreed to reinvest the sale to be achieved by the money to largely brokered by him in another property, even before the first sale ever made.

In a similar case in North Rhine-Westphalia, this was precisely the subject of negotiation, because in the end was for those property for sale no takers. At the same time the client was one of the broker to the offer, nearly half a million euros to another to invest also assisted him by land – if everything went well, the client still would have generated a surplus of 200,000 euros plus the newly purchased property. However, clients and brokers were later offered for sale are sitting on the property. As it turned out, the broker would have to know, that the object is to be sold have been a risky deal.

Therefore he was by the Oberlandesgericht Hamm found guilty, that he – the agent – could “mislead his client never at a disadvantageous and hasty conclusion”, especially since a “good relationship between broker and client exists.” The broker had not maintained the interests of the client with it. Remains also in this case really only one thing: head-shaking about the behavior of the agent’s obviously dubious. Actually, it should go without saying that a real estate broker the chance of a sale realistic estimate and disclose to the client is capable of.

In this case, the cheating has occurred even after apparently deliberately, as the Court said. The broker was aware of the fact that – in the event of an unsuccessful sale attempt on purchase of another property – the client is no more capital was available for the purchase of the property in an emergency cushion. The court came to the conclusion that a real estate broker for such an operation and is solely responsible for the financial loss in this case it was the ruin of their clients are liable, must.

The benefits of professional home sales with the help of a real estate broker

August 21st, 2011

You can be pretty sure that almost every owner of a property wants to sell them to bear with the thought: Realtor? Why use a broker? I can sell my property but only loosely! You can:’s right. False: suppose that always works, and even then smoothly. What happens if there is no prospective reports? Or the “wrong” prospects?

There are no audited figures, but it does not require too much imagination to imagine that someone who wants to sell on your own, sooner or later, says: Help!

It starts already with the fact that the actual sales process begins only when one (or more) buyer is found or are. Who his sale want is emotionally secure at least a little strained and emotions should play no role in a sales safe. This means that it is advisable in any case, a broker from the outset to have at his side. With its professional approach can overcome emotional references to the property better, but that’s not the only reason for this long, a real estate broker on. In addition to his experience of bringing namely due to its proximity to the market with the necessary expertise and is superior in terms of negotiations and talks to his clients in selling.

The temporal component of a single course, one should not underestimate the longer finds to be sold object no takers – and usually the seller’s all for a job, which he sacrificed most of the time – the higher the costs incurred as a result. It creates a contrast agent in most cases to establish a timely and skilled manner appropriate to the object one audience.

Not least, we as a private seller is exposed to high risks in terms of the price obtained. More often masquerade groups of investors (who are known to huge amounts of money in the back) as private buyers and are doing this in so perfidious, that They may tell the seller that the object is significant deficiencies, that results in the investor the price in the basement drives. Anyone who wants to achieve a fair market price, with an experienced broker a clear advantage – because the broker can not be drawn on the table.

Other advantages of the brokerage commission are also obvious. In terms of the settlement broker is much more impressive than the private seller – which also applies to the question of funding of the object. In addition, he is always available for those interested and knows how to market the property and must. Bottom Stricht remains standing: who wants to make sure that a house sale stress and worries over the stage and is also the right amount of money goes to the owner, should refrain from hiring a broker in any case.
