NOTARIAL TRANSACTION · PROPERTY PURCHASE

The purchase. From first draft to transfer of title.

In a German property purchase the land changes owner: notarised, completed in the land register, with a purchase price that only falls due once every condition is evidenced. It is the transaction with the longest chain after the appointment — priority notice, tax notifications, consents, release documents, maturity, transfer of title.

THE PATH THROUGH THE OFFICE

Four stations. NotarFlow works where your hours go.

First meeting

NotarFlow works here

Intention, parties, property. Identity documents and basic data are recorded; NotarFlow reads identity cards and land register extracts instead of having them retyped.

Draft and fee calculation

NotarFlow works here

The draft in your own approved template and the fee calculation under the German notarial fee act come out of the same capture. Every value carries its origin: one click jumps to the passage in the document.

Notarial appointment

Your work

The deed is read out and signed. NotarFlow changes nothing about that, and it is not meant to.

Completion

NotarFlow works here

Priority notice, real estate transfer tax notification, waiver of pre-emption rights, release documents, maturity notice, transfer of title. The purchase is the only deed type in our catalogue whose chain is already described.

WHAT NOTARFLOW TAKES ON

The building blocks this transaction touches.

The site is organised by transaction, the pricing by building block. Each block can be booked on its own and works on the same matter; what it costs is on the pricing page and not here.

VARIANTS OF THIS TRANSACTION

What is common — and what is the exception.

A variant is the difference you must not guess. Where the deed type catalogue has a line for it, this page says so; where it has none, it says that too.

Purchase financed by the buyer's bank

common

The buyer's land charge is created in the same deed or in a second one. In our catalogue it is a deed type of its own — and the one built out furthest.

To the land charge

Purchase price via a notarial escrow account

rare

An escrow account is the exception by law (section 54a of the German Notarisation Act permits it only where there is a legitimate security interest): normally the buyer pays the seller directly once maturity has been notified — in attorney-notary offices and full-time notary offices alike. Where a notary does hold the money, NotarFlow keeps the payout conditions as a checklist and reconciles the bank statements you hand in. The money is moved by you alone, in your own banking.

To the Escrow & Client Account block

Developer purchase agreement

rare

A purchase with a building obligation and its own staged payments under the German developer regulation. Our catalogue has no line for it today, and so this page makes no promise about it.

Division declaration and heritable building right

rare

The catalogue lists both as a deed type of their own, status “planned”. They are not a purchase and are named here only so that nobody assumes they are covered by one.

STRAIGHT TALK

What deliberately stays with you

This section is on every transaction page. Every deed type moves in with your office’s templates — two are ready today, your most frequent one is set up first.

The deed draft follows the required-fields review

not included

The catalogue lists the property purchase as “planned”: the completion chain is described, the mandatory fields of the deed are not. Until they have been worked through with the notary, NotarFlow produces no draft for this transaction. An invented field list would look like knowledge and would be a guess.

Payments stay in your banking

not included

NotarFlow has no account access and no payment interface — neither for an escrow account nor beside it. It records which condition is met and which is missing; transfers are ordered in your own banking.

The register entry: prepared by us, confirmed by you

not included

The register is kept by the German Federal Chamber of Notaries. NotarFlow prepares the entry and puts it to you for confirmation; it is written by you.

Legal review remains official duty

not included

Whether an arrangement is permissible, sensible or the right one for the parties is not something NotarFlow assesses. That is the notary's office, and it stays there.

WHERE THIS STANDS

What the catalogue says about this transaction.

From the deed type catalogue, not from the marketing.

“Planned” means: the type is in the catalogue, but it cannot be processed. What this page links to as a building block works today on other deed types and on the steps after the appointment — not on the draft of this contract.
