Half-timbered house, listed as a historic monument

Eaves-fronted timber-framed house with rendered infill panels in the historic Usagasse in Friedberg, estimated construction year 19th century or earlier. The building comprises ground floor, upper floor and a converted attic storey and is erected on a trapezoidal plot of 52 m² in a closed row of buildings. The ground floor was apparently formerly used as a restaurant, but is in an unfinished fit-out condition with unfinished plasterboard stud walls. The upper floor and attic storey are used for residential purposes and are, according to external inspection, let.

The property is registered as part of a heritage-protected ensemble and is thus subject to the preservation provisions of the Hessisches Denkmalschutzgesetz. An internal inspection was not possible, so the valuation is based on external inspection only. The expert assumes a simple fitting standard and a damage-free interior condition.

The external condition of the building is satisfactory, the timber-framed building shows typical structural-physical limitations related to its age. The ground floor requires completion of the interior fit-out, which has been factored into the valuation at approximately 9,500 euros in repair costs. A safety deduction of 15,000 euros accounts for the uncertainties arising from the lack of an internal inspection.
