It is not uncommon for German tenants to stay in their rented houses for decades. Due to the low interest rates and favorable housing conditions from the German states and municipalities, more Germans favor renting their apartments/houses, rather than buying them.

This property is offered directly from the owner, saving you the costs of a real-estate agent (of course you are welcome to appoint one, if you wish).

Typical purchase costs would be around 6,50% (5% property transfer tax and around 1.50% notary’s fees), and are all paid by the buyer.

All in all, an opportunity to own a high yielding, fully restored, trouble free property containing 5 apartments, assuring an almost maintenance free, constant income and a capital appreciation for many years to come.
