Frequently asked questions

How do I determine how much I can afford?

Banks assess affordability using a debt-to-income ratio (typically max 33-45% of net income for repayments). Factor in 7% notary/registration fees + Bëllegen Akt credit (€40,000/person for main residence). Use online calculators or consult a broker for pre-approval.

What documents are required for renting a property?

ID/passport, last 3 payslips or proof of income (income ~3x rent + charges), employment contract, previous landlord reference, Schufa/credit report if applicable. Deposit: max 3 months' rent (often bank guarantee).

Can I terminate a lease agreement early?

Yes, with 3 months' registered notice (unless contract specifies longer). For fixed-term leases, early exit may require paying rent until re-let or end of term, unless diplomatic clause or mutual agreement.

What are the risks of investing in real estate?

High purchase prices reduce yields (2-4% gross), vacancy in oversupplied areas, maintenance/renovation costs, interest rate rises, liquidity issues if market cools, regulatory changes (e.g., rent caps).

How do I choose the right property to invest in?

Prioritize high-demand areas (Lux City, Esch, border communes) for quick rental. Target 1-2 bed apartments for expats. Aim for energy class C or better for subsidies/tax benefits. Calculate net yield after taxes/fees >3%.

Do high-end properties support virtual tours?

Yes, most luxury listings offer 3D virtual tours, drone videos, and staged photos for remote viewing.

How long does the property transfer process take?

Offer → Compromis (binding, 10% deposit) → 2-4 months for mortgage approval/searches → Notarial deed signing (ownership transfers). Total: 3-6 months typical.

What are the main buying costs (Nov 2025)?

6% registration + 1% transcription duties (7% total). Permanent Bëllegen Akt: €40,000 credit/person (€80,000/couple) for main residence, reducing effective rate (often to ~1-3% on mid-priced homes). Notary fees ~1%. Total extras: 7-10%.
