Property description
Condominium No. 4 on the 1st upper floor of the multi-family house at Josefstraße 17 in Gelsenkirchen-Neustadt, built 1898. The inner-city location offers good transport links, with Gelsenkirchen main railway station approximately 500 m on foot and a bus stop 200 m away.
As at the valuation date, the flat has been combined with the neighbouring units WEG No. 3 and No. 5 into one economic unit and is let. The division plan (Aufteilungsplan) provides for a hallway, eat-in kitchen, bathroom, living room and bedroom; as at the valuation date no bathroom is present, the kitchen has been enlarged. A cellar in the basement belongs to the unit.
The structural condition is severely neglected with considerable need for refurbishment. The main building shows massive damp damage to the courtyard façade, a defective staircase with damp defects and an insecurely anchored entrance door. Conversion work is required for separate letting; the basement could not be inspected. The entire property with outbuildings and garages is in a neglected condition and is subject to several ongoing building-control proceedings.
