Flat for sale 3+1 • 68 m² without real estateHeinz-Schmöle-Straße 6 Düsseldorf Oberbilk Nordrhein-Westfalen 40227

Below is the complete English translation of the text marked by the tag:

The offered apartment is located in a unique and very well-maintained residential complex in Düsseldorf:

The “Delta House”, completed in 2000 with high-quality construction, offers 150 apartments and borders the quiet pedestrian zone Heinz-Schmöle-Straße adjacent to the development at Bertha-von-Suttner-Platz and Eisenstraße with large trees and, partly in classic architecture, multi-family houses built around 2000 as well as the development on Willi-Becker-Allee.

The “Delta House” is located in the most central yet very quiet area free of traffic, and it offers a comfortable and particularly safe living environment thanks to a key-controlled concept and an intercom system with cameras at both building entrances that limit access to the bright stairwell (with white walls and ceilings and a gray granite floor) leading to the apartments.

In both basement levels there are 159 parking spaces in underground garages reached via stairwells – many of which are free – some equipped with wall boxes, as well as individually assigned storage cellars and communal rooms allocated to the apartments via separate building entrances.

The inner courtyard offers 2 partially covered and 1 large completely covered bicycle storage area, a seldom-used playground, and charming landscaping.

The condition of both the apartment and the residential complex provides exceptional future security and many opportunities to realize your own ideas regarding features and overall condition, while optimally utilizing individual tax, financial, and craftsmanship possibilities.

The apartment is structurally excellent, energy-efficient, and offers 3 well-utilized rooms that are shielded from street traffic within an efficient floor plan.

The local surroundings provide excellent connections to public regional and long-distance transport as well as many shops, restaurants, doctors’ practices, childcare facilities, and schools that are all within walking distance.

Highlights

• Kitchen and 2 bedrooms face the quiet pedestrian zone behind the main station

• Sun loggia in the living/dining area facing an enclosed inner courtyard

• Separate WC

• Bathtub in the bathroom

• 10 residential units in the secured building with a staircase and elevator

• Video intercom for both the external and internal entrance

• Predominantly owner-occupiers in the condominium association, with the same board chairman since 2000

The owners’ community is largely composed of owner-occupiers or those who purchased in 2000, is well organized, and is very interested in long-term preservation of the residential value.

The good, unrenovated condition allows for selective modernizations to achieve even higher yield or to realize individual living concepts, with minimal effort achieving a good, legal rental yield or moving in.

At the 2024 owners’ meeting, a concept was presented for eliminating deficiencies according to which the facade would be completely renewed in 3 to 5 years so that the building’s age would be recognizable only by the condition of the plastic and lacquer surfaces – though this was not adopted. At the owners’ meeting on May 21, 2025, a new concept was presented with about half the costs and possibly only one year of construction time.

There are only a few rented units on Heinz-Schmöle-Straße because the residential complex and the location offer so many advantages that are appreciated by owner-occupiers.

The overall maintenance condition of the residential complex is exceptionally good.

The energy certificate for the entire complex indicates an energy consumption of 85 kWh/(m²·a).

Areas in m²:

• Living/Dining: 23.73

• Master Bedroom (for a bed up to 2.4 m plus nightstands): 12.50

• Child Bedroom (for a bed max. 1.40 m) = Office: 10.68

• Kitchen: 8.00

• Bathroom (with bathtub): 3.68

• Separate WC: 1.49

• Storage area in the kitchen: 0.43

• Sun loggia (50% of 6.44): 3.22

• Total: 67.76

The apartment is situated in the complex so that, depending on the season, parts of the loggia receive sunlight from noon on, and the windows and loggias of the apartments on the opposite side of the complex are at a maximum distance. In addition, the apartment is quietly located with the bedrooms and the kitchen facing a seldom-used pedestrian zone at the rear of the main station, and the living/dining area with its sun loggia faces the inner courtyard.

In the short pedestrian zone there are only a few commercial units, for example, a newsstand, a doctor’s practice, municipal facilities, an architectural office, an ice cream parlour, and directly across from a fitness centre.

Consequently, there is little foot traffic.

In addition, some residents in the neighborhood take routes along Ludwig-Erhard-Allee or Velberter Straße.

The underground garage is accessed via Eisenstraße, which forms two circles separated by a space at the end of the pedestrian zone, each with its own entrance and exit.

The main station is acoustically decoupled in its structure.

Due to its proximity to the main station, Ellerstraße, Kölner Straße, and Oberbilker Markt, a large number of doctors’ practices, chain stores, other shops and service providers, and educational institutions are easily reachable on foot.

Two day-care centres, an elementary school, and a vocational college with a grammar school can be reached on foot in a maximum of 6 minutes/400 m.

In addition, two parks with playgrounds are within an 8-minute walk/450 m.

• Walls with a textured wallpaper finish and ceilings with white rough plaster

• Siedle video intercom

Details

• The apartment key also provides access to communal areas reached by elevator:

  1. Bicycle room

  2. Drying room

  3. Stroller room

• Light commercial activity on the ground floor ensures warmth from below

• Communal playground in the secured inner courtyard of the well-maintained complex (accessible only with the apartment key)

• Oak-effect laminate in the entrance hall, the large bedroom, and the small bedroom/office

• Dark gray anthracite floor tiles in the guest WC and bathroom with bathtub

• Bright white floor tiles in the kitchen

• Connection for a washing machine in the kitchen

As an owner-occupier, I would paint the walls and ceilings, lacquer the radiators, and install smart home thermostats as well as possibly install electrical roller shutters. I would not replace the existing glued laminate floor since it is very robust. However, if a different look is desired, a vinyl floor can probably be applied on top with little effort.

The architecture office on Heinz-Schmöle-Straße had worked for over 5 years in close collaboration with the advisory board on the first concept for a comprehensive facade renewal to be combined with other measures – although the architect had to resign his mandate for health reasons.

A new architecture office commissioned in 2024 is to further develop the concept presented on May 21, 2025, at roughly half the cost, and it will be paid out of the maintenance reserve. However, there will be a special assessment for the renewal of the facade since the maintenance reserve (recently approximately €8,000 for this apartment) is not to be overly depleted and the costs are expected to be higher.

The issue of facade renovation is an example of the effective work of the advisory board and the property manager.

The original condition from 2000 without any painting work demonstrates that 1. there has never been any mold or water damage, 2. the apartment is in excellent building-physical condition, and 3. the materials used are very durable.

You have the opportunity to extensively modernize according to your own ideas – for higher yield or to realize specific living requirements – rather than just achieving a decent initial yield with minimal effort, or to move in quickly.

As an investor, you have many options to create the optimal solution regarding financing, payments, and timing of work performed by you, friends and family, as well as craftsmen – so that the condition of the apartment and the tax deductibility of the expenses perfectly match your personal investment strategy along with your usage, tax, and financial planning.

Owner-occupiers can also realize an optimal design.

With the appropriate provisions included in the notarized purchase contract, you may even be able to move into the apartment shortly after the notary’s appointment, in order to begin planning or even immediately start with a few renovation or more extensive modernization measures to either rent it out faster, allow family members to move in, or for your own use.

You decide which works should be carried out promptly, eventually, or optionally.

This 3-room apartment is therefore a future-proof investment

1. As an investment property for simple renting, where you can choose the ideal tenant from a large pool of suitably solvent applicants and, through modernizations, legally increase the initial rental yield (under the rent cap) to at least 3.9%, but potentially enforce even significantly higher rents.

2. For owner-occupation or for close relatives, where your ideas of comfortable, barrier-free, and energy-efficient living in a very well-maintained and, prospectively, newly faҫaded, timelessly designed residential complex can be realized immediately or step by step.

Both owner-occupiers and investors can modernize the apartment selectively or completely according to their own living or yield requirements.

Both acquire an exceptionally advantageous location, which exists only in the two large residential complexes along Heinz-Schmöle-Straße.

In addition, you are buying an apartment with high passive security through its location in a secured residential complex.

An apartment like this is very rarely available for rent or purchase.

And please keep in mind: With each repayment, the interest payment decreases, while rents, due to the high demand for housing and rent increases up to the cap on new leases (and particularly high rents in new buildings), will likely continue to rise strongly.

Furthermore, Düsseldorf is experiencing in-migration to this particularly attractive state capital, and for years fewer residential units have been created than needed.

This apartment is not only in very good condition for its construction year but is also significantly cheaper to buy – and it was built after the complete ban on asbestos. Hence, both the risks and the incidental purchase costs (which you usually have to pay with your own capital) are relatively low.

The water, billing, and energy costs are, according to the current economic plan (which assumes 24-hour presence) and thanks to the good energy efficiency and relatively inexpensive and future-proof district heating, still below €70 per month.

So far, two young couples, one expat (manager of a private school) with his wife (a piano teacher) and child, and since 2013 a retiree (ex-banker) have lived in the apartment. In total, fewer than 10 viewing appointments have been required for all rentals.

You receive particularly high security for your investment because of:

1. the current and future condition of the building,

2. the unique, advantageous location,

3. the concept of the residential complex,

4. the durable materials,

5. the simple marketability as a rental apartment,

6. the owners’ community’s interest in preserving a good condition and the work of a long-term property manager,

7. the planned facade renovation for 2026.

Repeated Summary of the High Living Quality:

1. The apartment is quietly located, has a great layout with a separate WC, a washing machine connection in the kitchen, and a sun loggia in a very well-maintained residential complex with 150 units from 2000 situated in an advantageous location that exists only once in Düsseldorf.

2. The 2 bedrooms and the kitchen face a seldom-used pedestrian zone directly behind Bertha-von-Suttner-Platz at Düsseldorf’s main station, while the living/dining area with its sun loggia faces the enclosed inner courtyard.

3. Only 9 other apartments are accessible via the like-new, bright stairwell equipped with two entrances provided with a video intercom system and a stainless-steel elevator, which also leads to the two dry and very well-maintained basement levels with communal rooms, the storage compartment, and the underground garage.

I am happy to communicate in English.
