Valuation of real estate, machinery and equipment

German real estate investment trust (G-REIT)

As an investor, are you looking for a tax-optimised, non-regulated form of investment for German real estate assets that does not require too much capital investment? Then the G-REIT could be a suitable investment instrument.

Closed-end real estate funds

When insurance companies and pension funds invest in closed-end real estate funds, there are various special features to consider. KPMG advises on the implementation of the appropriate investment structure and answers questions in connection with the fund project.

Real estate transfer tax

Company acquisitions and reorganisations trigger real estate transfer tax several times when the shareholdings change. By carefully planning the acquisition steps, together with KPMG, you can reduce or avoid this tax.

Real estate taxation/real estate funds

As an investor or fund provider, are you looking for the optimal form of investment in real estate? Or a partner for the tax management of your real estate portfolio? KPMG will work out possible solutions to your questions.

Legal due diligence

When buying or selling real estate, it is important to have all the relevant information in good time. We review and evaluate the legal aspects of the transaction, facilitating your decision-making process.

Transaction consulting and contracting

Competent legal advice is critical in real estate transactions. Our team accompanies you in the run-up to the sale, draws up a tailor-made purchase contract and is also at your side after the contract has been completed to answer any questions you may have.

Transaction consulting (M&A)

In M&A transactions, business entities, ownership interests and real estate packages are sold, acquired or merged. Do you need help with IPOs or advice on structuring equity? KPMG will advise you on the compilation of the due diligence phase documents.

Property due diligence

With increasing competitive pressure and tight transaction time frames, investments and divestments in real estate require special care. KPMG provides an analysis that covers financial and real estate factors and provides a comprehensive picture of the subject of the transaction.
