For Investors
Investing in German real estate – with a trusted guide at your side.
Germany is one of the most stable property markets in Europe – but building law, authorities and standards are complex. BATA GROUP guides international investors from the first assessment to completion: architecture and engineering from one source, communication in English, German and Russian.
Before you buy
Technical due diligence
Building condition, permit status, hidden risks: we inspect the property before you sign – with a clear report in your language. So you negotiate from a position of strength.
Authorities
Permits & building law
Building applications, change of use, heritage requirements: we know the German procedures, handle all communication with the authorities and keep deadlines under control.
Planning
Architecture & engineering
New construction, conversion or refurbishment: planning to German standards (HOAI, work stages 1–9) – architecture, structural design, energy, fire safety and building services from one source.
Guidance
Your guide in Germany
On request we coordinate lawyers, tax advisors and agents, translate the technical details into clear decisions and report to you regularly – in English or Russian.
How we work with you
1. First consultation
Free and confidential, via video call – in English, German or Russian. You describe your plans; we tell you honestly what is realistic.
2. Assessment
We analyse the property or plot: building condition, permit situation, potential and risks – summarised in a report you can actually understand.
3. Strategy
Together we define the path: buy, convert, build new – or walk away. With clear cost and time frames.
4. Execution
We plan, obtain the permits and supervise construction through to handover – you stay informed without having to be on site.
Frequently asked questions
Can foreigners buy property in Germany?
Yes – Germany has essentially no restrictions on foreign buyers, regardless of citizenship or residence. What matters is clean proof of financing and the notarised transaction. For legal and tax questions we work with specialised law firms.
What is the biggest risk when buying?
In our experience: what you cannot see – unpermitted alterations, structural defects, unexpected official requirements. That is exactly what technical due diligence before signing is for.
Which languages do you work in?
Consulting, reports and ongoing communication in English, German and Russian. We handle all communication with the authorities in German – you receive the results clearly explained in your language.
Note: We provide architectural and engineering services. We do not provide legal, tax or investment advice – on request we involve specialised partners for these matters.
