House for sale 6+1 • 164 m² without real estate, North Rhine-Westphalia

The property presented here is centrally and quietly located in the district of Rheine-Mesum (village). It is a two-family house with a full basement, built in solid construction (i.e. two separate apartments with a shared staircase).

On the upper floor, there is a rented granny flat with approximately 76 m² of living space (3 rooms, kitchen, bathroom + guest WC) featuring a balcony. The tenants are a quiet, older couple. An outdoor parking space on the property belongs to the rented apartment. The monthly income from renting the granny flat is €532 cold rent, plus an additional €30 for the parking space. The lease expires on April 30, 2026. After that date, the upper floor apartment can be re-let at the currently usual terms (for example, for €750 cold rent) or used by the owner.

The ground floor apartment has approximately 88 m² of living space (3 rooms, kitchen, bathroom + guest WC) and has the same layout as the upper apartment, only without the sloping roof ceilings. The garage, the garden, and the ground floor apartment are currently used by the owners themselves and can be occupied shortly after the purchase of the house.

Due to the clever layout of this two-family house, various uses are possible: renting out both apartments entirely, partly renting and partly self-use, or complete self-use of both apartments.

Extensive modernization measures have been carried out in recent years. These include the renovation of the ground floor apartment in autumn 2022 (installation of click vinyl flooring in both bedrooms, wallpapering, and painting the door frames), the complete modernization of the ground floor bathroom and the replacement of the toilet and washbasin in the guest WC on the ground floor in autumn 2022, the complete modernization of the upper floor bathroom and the replacement of the toilet and washbasin in the guest WC on the upper floor in summer 2023, and the replacement of the oil heating system with a Bosch air-to-water heat pump in October 2023. Consequently, there is no backlog in modernization, and the renovated ground floor apartment is move-in ready without further work.

In connection with the installation of the heat pump, wireless thermostats for controlling the underfloor heating were installed in every room of both apartments. Due to the installation of the heat pump, heating costs are very low. The electricity consumption for heat generation including hot water preparation in the first year of operation amounted to only about 4,300 kWh, which cost approximately €1,080. That is around €90 per month for the entire house.

Also included with the house is the fitted kitchen in the ground floor apartment. The overall package also comprises the photovoltaic system with 10.12 kWp from 2010 by Solarworld. Through full-feed-in, additional net income of about €350 per month is generated. Furthermore, the equipment of the fitness basement (Maxxus Multipresse 8.1, weights and handles, fitness studio flooring) is also sold.

Outside, around the basement, there is drainage, so that the basement remains dry even during heavy rain. The house has a shared laundry room with connections for two washing machines. Both apartments are equipped with their own fiber-optic connection. There are separate meters for each apartment in the ground and upper floors for:

• Hot water

• Cold water

• Underfloor heating energy usage

• Electricity (and additionally, one meter each for the heat pump and PV system)

The property is being sold for health reasons.
