(EMAILWIRE.COM, January 20, 2009 ) Germany - TheMoveChannel.com, the leading international property portal, has announced the launch of a completely free German property guide to help investors and lifestyle buyers through the process of making a successful property purchase in Germany.

The guide provides an overview of Germany as an investment destination, key points to buying and selling in Germany, what you need to be aware of as a German property owner, as well as links to a host of essential information sources for additional research.

Indispensable information on the legal issues involved in buying and selling are included alongside outline details of the taxes and costs of being a German property owner. For example, were you aware that German lenders sometimes require you to put down a 30% deposit?

Finance is another key point covered, and the guide explores the possibility of raising finance in the UK or in Germany and the typical mortgage products available. A mortgage of up to 70% is possible, normally at a fixed rate over a period of 5 to 20 years.

The guide will be annually updated to ensure information is timely and continues to be an authoritative reference point for investors. The guide is available completely free of charge and can be viewed online or downloaded as a PDF, to view a copy visit: http://germany.themovechannel.com/guides

Dan Johnson, Managing Director, comments: “Experienced investors will know the key successful property investment is down to gaining a good understanding of national laws, finance structures and processes. Without these required insight investors may be exposing themselves to costly mistakes and disputes.”
