Hello dear community,
my wife and I, with our 2 children, are currently considering buying a settlement house (built in 1962). Since it has been offered to us so far without a real estate agent and the sellers have not been able to give us a fixed price yet, I wanted to ask here what you think of the house and maybe also estimate in which price range it might be. We had originally planned to build new, but unfortunately no building plots will be offered in our municipality in the near future and we do not want to move away either.
So, now about the house:
The house is located in postcode 277XX in the district of Oldenburg on a plot of about 740m2 in a cul-de-sac. The living area currently amounts to 79.65m2 with an extension from the 80s with 20m2 (+ cellar approx. 20m2). As far as we can tell, basically everything needs to be renewed. Since its construction in 1962, nothing has been done except the extension and a new heating system (together with the extension in 1980). In addition, there is a masonry shed with a gable roof of about 20m2, unheated. Attached you will find a few photos...
We understand that an assessment or estimate from a distance is always difficult, but what do you think? Realistic purchase price?
An expert (appraiser or architect) will of course still be brought in (before purchase) to look in detail and assess...
Thanks and have a nice Sunday!
