Selling situations overview

Certificate of inheritance, community of heirs, speculation tax: inherited properties have their own rules.

When several heirs have to agree: partition auction as a last resort.

Equalisation of gains, partition auction, emotional strain: selling a property in a divorce calls for tact.

No equalisation of gains: why for unmarried couples the land register alone counts — and the three routes out of joint ownership.

Speculation period, owner-occupation, inherited properties: the tax framework.

Time pressure, financial difficulties, realistic price expectations: speed before maximum price.

Sell the house before the auction: stop the proceedings at the Dresden local court, buy time with § 30a ZVG, achieve 20-30 % more than at the auction.

Outstanding loan, land charge, early repayment penalty: what's possible when selling despite debt.

Accessibility, care costs, right of residence: when the house becomes too big.

Money out of the house and still stay: life annuity, usufruct and partial sale honestly compared.

When the house is protected, who may sell with a power of attorney and why many sell too early in a care case.

Time pressure, double burden, remote sale: when the new job can't wait, the sale has to run efficiently.

Political, economic or for adventure: when moving abroad raises the property question — taxes, power of attorney & timing.

Off-market, discreet and based on income value: how an investment property is sold to investors without unsettling the tenants.

Buyer groups, tenant protection and price discounts: what's different when selling with a tenant in place.

Without a public listing: when privacy, peace of mind for tenants or the upper price segment matter. Targeted buyer outreach instead of broad marketing.

When upkeep exceeds the value: sell instead of invest?

Why an empty house often sells better than a let one — and what vacancy costs until then.

The right time to sell: when is it worth realising value gains? Tax optimisation through the holding period.
