Rented 2-Room Apartment with 70 m² in Bochum-Wattenscheid, Commission-Free

For sale is a rented 2-room condominium with 70.22 m² of living space on the 1st floor of a multi-family house in Bochum-Wattenscheid. The living and dining area, at 31 m², is unusually large for a two-room apartment. Additionally, there is a bedroom of 16 m², a separate kitchen of 11 m², a hallway, and a bathroom with a window. The apartment features its own gas-fired heating system and a cellar storage room. A parking space in the courtyard can be purchased for €5,000.

Rental Information

The apartment has been rented to the same tenant since 1978. As of 01.08.2026, the net cold rent was adjusted to €359.00, and the tenant’s consent has been obtained. This means you are buying an apartment that generates rental income from day one, with a tenant who has been reliably paying for almost 50 years.

Rental Subsidy, Simply Explained

Because the rent has only just been adjusted and another increase is not possible for several years, we, as the seller, will pay you a total rental subsidy of €7,000 for the first three years. This amounts to an additional €194.44 per month on top of the rent for 36 months. Your income during the first three years will thus be €553.44 per month, which corresponds to a yield of 6.71% on the purchase price. From the fourth year onward, the regular rent resumes (yield of 4.35% as of today). The subsidy is included in the purchase price and will be recorded in the notarized purchase agreement.

Potential

At €5.11/m², the rent is well below the current asking level in Wattenscheid of around €8.27/m². In the event of a tenant change, the apartment can be rented out anew at market rates. At the same time, you are buying at approximately €1,410/m², which is well below the average asking price in the district.

Taxes

An appraisal on the remaining useful life of the building will be prepared for the apartment. We assume that, as a result, a building depreciation (AfA) of at least 4% per year (instead of the usual 2%) can be applied (§ 7 para. 4 sentence 2 EStG). For example: Building share of €79,200 × 4% = €3,168 depreciation per year. This is not tax advice – please consult your tax advisor.

Building and Community

Constructed in 1954, solid construction, energy efficiency class C. The condominium community was newly established in 2026. The seller contributes €1,000 per sold apartment to the maintenance reserve; after the sale of all eleven apartments, this totals €11,000. There is an estimate of around €18,000 for the facade; through the courtyard and facade program of the City of Bochum, up to 50% of the eligible costs can be subsidized. Whether the renovation will be carried out is determined by the condominium community – no special assessment has been decided. The attic has been sold and is being developed, with the costs borne solely by its owner. Monthly service charge is €188.31. Additional apartments in the building are also for sale; package price available upon request.

The apartment is located in the Günnigfeld district of Bochum, within the Wattenscheid city district—a well-established residential area with post-war multi-family houses and a neighborly atmosphere. A supermarket is accessible within a few minutes’ walk, and the Wattenscheid center, with doctors, pharmacies, cafés, and other shopping options, is in the immediate vicinity. A primary school, secondary school, and daycare center are located within the area.

The nearest bus stop is just a few minutes’ walk away; through several bus lines, Wattenscheid station, and the highways A 40 and A 448, Bochum, Essen, and Gelsenkirchen are quickly reachable. Green areas in the surroundings provide local recreation, and fiber-optic and 5G connectivity are well developed.

The neighborhood is a stable rental district in the affordable segment, with a correspondingly low vacancy risk. Bochum has around 365,000 inhabitants and is an important educational center in the Ruhr area with the Ruhr University and several other higher education institutions.
