House to rent 3+1 • 103 m² without real estate, North Rhine-Westphalia

Welcome to the exposé of this unique property.

A detached single-family house in a secluded location on the edge of the forest in Niedersprockhövel.

The property is suitable for a family with a maximum of one child (3 persons).

The originally built single-family house was comprehensively renovated in 2013. During this renovation, the property was updated well beyond standard practice with a future-oriented approach towards a passive house (a house with exceptional thermal insulation). There is no backlog of maintenance or required renovations thanks to continuous upkeep and repair work; for instance, in 2023 a new liquid gas boiler was installed as a precaution in view of the heating law. The property is in exceptionally well-maintained, top condition.

The house features a ground floor living area of approximately 98 m² and offers 3 rooms. The terrace measures about 30 m² and can be accessed from both the living room and the bedroom. The attic is used for storage and is not developed as living space.

A gas boiler is used for heating, and the liquid gas tank is privately owned.

The tenant can therefore independently supply heat and liquid gas. The house is equipped with a biological small-scale sewage treatment plant as well as a fiber-optic connection.

The rental is expressly offered on a limited-term basis in accordance with legal requirements, with an initial contract duration of up to 4 years.

The property can be rented after consultation with the current tenants, but no later than February 1, 2027.

Pets may be allowed by agreement, potentially one small dog.

Several documents such as a SCHUFA report, tenant self-disclosure, and proof of income are required. The net income of the respective prospective tenant(s) should be at least 2.5 times the warm rent at the time of contract signing – according to the recommendations of the financial institutions.

Cold rent: €1,250.00

Additional/operating costs (for 2-3 persons) without hot water/heating: €200.00

Heating costs: charged by the supplier, approximately €150.00

Electricity: (charged by the supplier, e.g., AVU): according to usage

Garden/property maintenance, winter service, etc.: carried out by the tenant/gardener (not included in the operating costs)

Security deposit: 3 months’ rent / €3,750.00

Please note in particular that, among other things, garden/property maintenance, winter service, etc. are currently carried out professionally by the tenants themselves and are therefore not included in the operating costs. Should these tasks be outsourced to external companies in the future, the monthly operating costs could increase by about €300-€400.

Energy certificate:

Since the renovation, the property has been predominantly heated by the fireplace located in the living room, with the tenants reporting an annual consumption of roughly 3.5 m³ of firewood. The gas heating system was only used “occasionally” and thus shows an average consumption (2013-2026) of approximately 476 liters of liquid gas per year (around €300 / €25.00 per month). The energy certificate/consumption certificate, which reflects actual rather than theoretical consumption, is currently in progress and is expected to indicate a final energy consumption of 113.0 kW with an efficiency rating of class D.
