Commercial Real Estate Contracts in Germany are fundamental instruments used for buying, selling, or leasing business properties. These contracts must comply with strict German legal requirements, including mandatory notarization for property transfers. The document encompasses critical elements such as property details, pricing, due diligence requirements, and specific obligations under German property law.
