House from the eighties - money pit?

...
Is it actually allowed to forward the exposé via private message here?

But of course. You can also post excerpts here, as long as you respect copyright. However, it is questionable whether it is useful, since no expert can make a judgment based on documents here.

It was also more intended for visualization so that you can see what I have been talking about the whole time.
I already found it difficult to classify or describe the facade.
The pictures are very blurry anyway, so you can't make out much on them.
I just showed the pictures of the house to a friend who happened to be there for coffee and has worked in construction, and he said it is not clinker brick.

I am currently going through the local real estate agents' websites. I also found a house that was already listed months ago on Immoscout or Immowelt and is now only on the agent's site, price unchanged. You can just keep your hands off something like that, right?

Is that good or bad?

36.5 cm single-layer brickwork is probably built with solid bricks as exposed masonry; porous bricks of the same wall thickness would be more similar to current standards. From solid bricks, I expect that for an Energy Saving Ordinance 2016 standard (which would only apply with extensive renovation) an insulation layer would have to be applied. It is not bad, just not a "good" of 2016.

More precisely: nothing at all. A house, roughly white. From the photos, you could even think it has a plaster facade. Only the view of the chimney and through the sliding door outside shows clinker (at the chimney), otherwise nothing is clear here either.

I also found a house that was already on Immoscout or Immowelt months ago and now is no longer only on the realtor’s site, price unchanged. You can just leave things like that alone, right?

I already mentioned that: realtors do not keep slow sellers listed continuously, I believe it costs about fifty per portal per month. What doesn't get clicks, is not kept fed continuously, but at least gets a break from listing. I have often seen offers where the realtor was such a fool, you wouldn’t have recognized a dream house. Simply because the photos were taken with a disposable camera and described without care. Some realtors are just clueless as salespeople.

Ok, thanks already for the assessment!

The description in the exposé and also on the internet as "contemporary and modern" can also be called a lie.
But that probably attracts interested parties at first.

And as I said: we will stay relaxed for now and continue searching.
At the moment, no viewings are taking place anyway, the owner is on vacation.

Maybe someone will write a Langenscheidt "Realtor Speak - German" someday

At least it would be worth a thread here.

In this house, "quiet location" also typically means "in the middle of nowhere," but a few things were simply wrong.
The listing said "about 2 km from the city center." After two kilometers, you're barely at a discount store and a chip shop; the center is more than 4 km away.
