Flat for sale 2+kk • 54 m² without real estateBochum Wattenscheid Nordrhein-Westfalen 44866

2.5-room apartment on the 3rd floor of a well-maintained multi-family building in Bochum-Wattenscheid, with 53.79 m² of living space. Heated with gas heating per apartment. No balcony, no elevator; an optional parking space can be purchased. Built in 1954, efficiency class C (96.4 kWh/(m²·a)).

The apartment is permanently rented and generates ongoing cash flow from handover – the current net cold rent is €377.55 (7.02 €/m²), with a gross yield of 5.09% based on the asking price. The purchase price of €89,000 includes a rental subsidy of €4,000, paid out over the first 36 months after purchase (i.e., €111.11/month) – which raises the yield to 6.59% during that period.

For the unit, a depreciation (AfA) of at least 4% can be applied (§ 7 para. 4 sentence 2 EStG, due to a shorter remaining useful life). The short appraisal report is not yet available; therefore, this is stated as an expression of intent rather than a guarantee. No tax advice is provided.

The condominium owners’ association was newly established in 2026 as part of the allocation process – accordingly, no meeting minutes are available yet. A maintenance reserve of a total of €11,000 has been set aside for the entire building for the community. Currently, no special assessments are planned.

The apartment is located in Bochum-Wattenscheid, a well-established and well-connected urban district in the west of Bochum. The location combines a functioning urban infrastructure with short distances to the surrounding cities of the Ruhr area.

Wattenscheid offers numerous shopping opportunities, doctors, pharmacies, schools, kindergartens, and facilities for everyday needs. There are also various dining options and leisure opportunities in the immediate vicinity.

A major local advantage is the excellent transport connections. Via the A40, both central Bochum and Essen, Gelsenkirchen, and other Ruhr area cities are quickly reachable. Public transport is also well-developed, and Wattenscheid station offers direct regional rail connections.

The urban district currently has around 74,000 inhabitants and is one of the larger districts in Bochum. At the same time, the city is further investing in the area: a new station district is planned around Wattenscheid station, which will enhance the station surroundings with new residential, work, and leisure opportunities.

Thanks to its central location within the Ruhr area, existing infrastructure, and excellent transport connections, Wattenscheid offers solid conditions for long-term rental profitability and is therefore particularly attractive for capital investors.
