The Land Lease To Own Contract is a specialized agreement used in German real estate transactions where parties wish to combine a lease arrangement with a future purchase option. This document type is particularly useful when a potential buyer cannot immediately purchase a property but wants to secure the right to do so while occupying the property as a tenant. The agreement must comply with German legal requirements, including notarization under the Beurkundungsgesetz and registration with the Grundbuchamt. It typically includes comprehensive terms covering both the lease period and the eventual purchase, including how lease payments are credited toward the purchase price, maintenance responsibilities, and conditions for exercising the purchase option. This contract type is commonly used in both commercial and residential real estate transactions, as well as for agricultural land, and must conform to specific provisions of the German Civil Code (BGB) regarding both lease agreements and property purchases.
