Key points at a glance
- Every property purchase contract must be notarised; the notary is impartial.
- We review the draft contract for points that deserve particular attention and clarify open questions in advance.
- We coordinate the appointment, documents and banks and accompany you to the notary on request.
- After notarisation, we keep track of the priority notice, the due date and the handover.
- We do not replace legal advice – for legal questions, the notary or a lawyer is responsible.
Our Services
Review of the draft contract: We go through the draft purchase contract and point out clauses that deserve particular attention – exclusions of warranty, handover provisions, payment terms, encumbrances in the land register (Grundbuch).
Clarifying open questions: Before the appointment, we clarify open points with everyone involved – so that the notary appointment itself runs smoothly.
Appointment coordination: We coordinate the appointment between buyer, seller, notary (Notar) and, where applicable, the financing banks.
Accompaniment to the appointment: On request, we attend the notary appointment to answer questions and support the process.
After the appointment: We monitor completion – priority notice of conveyance (Auflassungsvormerkung), purchase price due date, transfer of ownership – and keep you informed at every step.

The Route to the Notary Appointment – What We Take Care of for You
| Phase | Our task |
|---|---|
| Agreement | Record the key terms in writing: price, handover date, inventory, special features |
| Instructing the notary | Send complete data on the buyer, seller and property |
| Draft | Go through the draft with both sides, collect questions and pass them on to the notary |
| Financing | Liaise with the buyer's bank on registering the land charge |
| Appointment | Coordinate the appointment for everyone involved, accompaniment on request |
| Completion | Track the priority notice, the waiver of pre-emption rights (Negativattest), deletion documents and the due date |
| Handover | Handover report, meter readings, keys |
What We Look for in the Draft Contract
- Do the purchase price, property and items sold with it match what was agreed?
- Is the due date linked to the usual safeguards (priority notice, deletion documents, waiver of pre-emption rights)?
- Is the handover date realistic – also with regard to the seller moving out?
- Are known defects and commitments recorded?
- How are development costs, special levies or tenancies dealt with?
- Does the power to encumber (Belastungsvollmacht) fit the buyer's financing?
We do not provide legal assessments in this process – our job is to make sure nothing is overlooked and that all questions reach the notary in good time.
Typical Timeframe
As a rule, at least two weeks pass between the draft and notarisation, because consumers must be able to review the draft beforehand. After notarisation, it usually takes three to eight weeks until the purchase price is due, and a few weeks more until the new owner is registered. A complete timetable is shown in our guide The property purchase process, and the costs are described in Purchase costs in Bavaria.

Frequently asked questions
Who chooses the notary?
As a rule, the buyer proposes the notary, because they bear the costs. Both sides can express preferences; what matters is a notary who offers appointments promptly. We work with notaries throughout Upper Franconia.
Is notary support included in the commission?
Yes. Preparation, coordination and accompaniment to the notary appointment are part of every sale or purchase through FrankenImmo. As a stand-alone service – for example for a private sale – we offer support on request.
What if something changes after the draft?
Then we pass the change on to the notary. Minor adjustments are usually no problem; significant changes may require a new draft and a new waiting period.
Can the appointment take place without attending in person?
Yes, with a notarised power of attorney or with subsequent approval. For consumers, however, notaries recommend attending in person. More under Notary appointment.
