Property description
Partial ownership (Teileigentum) No. 1 in a multi-family residential building with student flats at Gerlingstraße 14 in the Essen Ostviertel, which was rebuilt after war destruction between 1952 and 1954 and later converted several times. The location is assessed as a medium to simple residential location and as a simple office and commercial location, the city centre is around 1.0 km away.
The partial ownership comprises on the ground floor a sales room, an office, hallway and WC, as well as in the basement a storage room and a further WC, totalling around 81.4 m² of usable floor area. Whether and how the unit is currently used or let could not be established, the valuation is therefore based on an assumed market-standard office and storage use with an annual gross income of around 4,374 €.
The partial ownership itself as well as the majority of the common areas could not be inspected, which is why the fittings and condition of the rooms are unknown. In the accessible entrance area, damp damage to the party wall as well as a soiled floor covering were identified.
