Property description
Small condominium with two rooms on the ground floor of a multi-family building from the post-war reconstruction period (1952-1954), located in the inner-city Ostviertel of Essen with good access to public transport and the city centre (approx. 1 km away). The flat has a living room with kitchen area, a bedroom and an internal bathroom, faces the inner courtyard and is not rented out.
The building comprises student flats overall with one commercial unit and was partially converted in 2016. The flat is part of a large owners' association with a total of about 21 residential units in the building. Heating is via district heating, windows are multi-pane PVC windows.
The condition can only be assessed to a limited extent due to the lack of an interior inspection. Damp damage to the party wall of the building and soiling of the floor covering were found in the entrance area of the common property. The remaining economic useful life is estimated at 25 years.
