The property
This is a 75 m² flat on the first floor of a block built in 1971. It is sold with the sitting tenant, so it is a purchase for an investor rather than for own use. A parking space belongs to the flat and is included in the price.
The layout is simple. Three rooms lead off a central hall, and the kitchen and bathroom are separate. There is also a balcony, which the seller describes as sunny. The flat is described as well kept.
The tenant currently pays €370 net cold rent and €15 for the parking space. With €80 for operating costs and €100 for heating, the total comes to €565 a month. The cold rent works out at just under €5 per m². That is modest, and any increase would have to follow German tenancy law. The monthly service charge to the owners' association is €432. About €300 of it can be passed on to the tenant, so roughly €132 stays with the owner.
The building is heated by gas. According to the energy certificate the heating system dates from 2002. The energy efficiency class is E, which is typical for a building of this age that has not been fully insulated.

The location
Herne is a city of around 150,000 inhabitants in the Ruhr area of North Rhine-Westphalia. It lies between Bochum and Gelsenkirchen, and Dortmund and Essen are a short drive away. Like most Ruhr towns, it grew around coal mining and is now a dense, largely residential city with relatively low property prices.
Horsthausen is one of Herne's residential districts. The flat is on a quiet residential street lined mostly with blocks of flats. Supermarkets and bakeries can be reached on foot, and bus stops are close by. Herne Hauptbahnhof is a short bus or car ride away. Kindergartens and primary schools are nearby.
Who it suits. This flat suits a buyer who wants a low-priced, already let rental flat in the Ruhr area and accepts a modest current rent in exchange for an immediate income.
