Legal fees etc are going to be about 500 euros, german notaries dont take bitcoin (or is there one.....now is your chance to shine)

In Germany, a notary's fees are fixed by law, and they're in Euros. A notary cannot just set his own fee or decide to be payed in something else.

Geckoman is right for the 2.5% Land transfer tax and his set notarisation fee on the legal title document. But for supplementary fees IE a power of attorney (if someone does not want to travel to Germany) and translation of documents there might be extra charges. But to make things easier I said, in my exact words, that Legal fees etc are going to be ABOUT 500 euros. Give or take.

You realise she could get screwed of she accepts an offer and the price of BTC drops. At what point is the price locked in during the sales process in Germany?

Good point well taken. The house is ready to sell, and has no liens on the property so it is really in both parties best interests NOT to linger getting the house to the other person. The 'Act I registration' Which is basically saying the house is sold, and issuing a notarized certificate saying 'paid in full' which is legally irrevocable, to the buyer can be done in a matter of days after the auction closes. Buyer can verify with her lawyer in Germany, who is licensed by the legal board and has a registration number etc, that this property is in her name. and this is a genuine deal. So payment etc can be swift.

Starting price lets say 10 BTC in increment's of 1

Wait your starting this at 10BTC which is currently $1,213 ? is this right?

Yes, why not, we are taking a gamble. I hope it sells for closer to the market value of course.

Awesome house, bet after a bit of work it will be a nice place to live. What is the area like, bet it has awesome views.

It is pretty, rural, and peaceful. The neighbours are quiet, it is what you would expect from a nice house in the country. It would be an excellent place to live. Now, we must find some people who want to take renovation payment in Bitcoins......

Do you guarantee the sale to the highest bidder, or do you have a reserve price below which you wont sell?

Well, we think it would take the fun out of the auction if it has a reserve price, so, no, it sells to the highest bidder. Get those bids in people!!!

Do you have to be German to be able to buy this house?

thanks

No Chaang, you do not have to be German to buy a property in Germany. Our lawyer says he can do the transaction in Germany without even having you go there, but you must go to the German embassy or a Consul in your country to sign the documents there.

You know, the one that says "only fit for demolition"

I don't know if this is a serious question or a troll, but I will answer anyway. The item you have liked to is a plot of land with a broken old barn on 377m2, and has been tax foreclosed by the town, and its STARTING price at town auction is 3200 euros (which is its outstanding tax bill). I think your implication that my girlfriends grandfathers house, after looking at the photos, could be classed as only fir for demolition' would probably offend her greatly, so please excuse me if I don't pass on your comment

Is this house under monument protection?

Or are you allowed to renovate it any way you want it?

Daybyter, there is not 'Denkmalschutz' if I spelt that right, which is Germany's version of a listed building. You can do what you want, within normal town planning rules, I don't think you can spray it Neon pink or anything like that.......

"only fit for demolition"

I highly doubt it is "protected"

Chaang, Its not only fit for demolition, that was a question from someone else not a statement from me! Please dont feed the trolls!

Thanks guys for your interest, Currently LEBING sits highest bidder with 35 BTC, come on I know you guys can do better than this.
