What Expats Say About HeimPath

Be among the first to share your HeimPath story.

HeimPath showed me I was looking at the wrong state entirely. Moving my search from Berlin to Saxony saved me €12,000 in transfer tax alone — I never would have found that comparison on my own.

I spent six months confused by German property law. HeimPath's English explanations and the guided journey meant I finally understood the Kaufvertrag before I signed it. That confidence alone was worth it.

The AfA depreciation calculator showed me I could claim back €4,200 per year on a €380,000 apartment in Leipzig. My accountant confirmed it. Nobody told me this was possible before HeimPath.
