Buying a house in Würzburg in Würzburg

Buying a house in Würzburg follows clear steps: clarify financing → find & inspect property → notary appointment → land register entry → key handover. Plan at least 6–16 weeks from the purchase contract to handover.

Clarify your financing before property hunting. In Würzburg property prices are approx. €3,500–5,500/m² for apartments (2025). A bank commitment makes you a serious buyer.

Search for properties in Würzburg via portals or agents. Always have a surveyor check before buying – especially for older buildings in Würzburg's old town or renovation areas.

In Germany every property purchase must be notarially certified. The notary reviews the contract, informs both parties and ensures legally sound processing. Without notary the purchase is void!

After the notary appointment the notary sends the clearance certificate to the tax office once land transfer tax is paid. Bavaria has the lowest land transfer tax at 3.5%. Then the land register entry is made.

After moving in you must re-register at Bürgerbüro Würzburg within 14 days. As a homeowner you also need building insurance (mandatory for financing).
