    Glossary: German mortgage terms explained

    Back to glossary

    Kaufnebenkosten are the costs that arise on top of the purchase price when buying property: Grunderwerbsteuer, notary and land register fees and, where applicable, a broker’s commission.

    Depending on the state and the broker’s commission they often add up to around 5 to 12% of the purchase price. Banks usually do not finance them, so they should be covered from equity.
