A fireplace is a nice thing when you can get wood cheaply. The parents-in-law and good friends each have one and that is really great, a nice warmth. Both have gardens and some opportunities to regularly get cheap or free wood. For example, we always keep larger branches etc. and they take them with them.

I can't say much about the rest, I know electric heaters and from my grandmother as a night storage heater and that is a money pit.

What is the status now? and... , did you receive my contact details?

Just a brief note to close this topic. This house was subject to a [Teilungsversteigerung], which was then canceled a few days before. No reasons were given for this.

Therefore, unfortunately, I had no documents for the house and could not speak with the previous owner. But it was resolved anyway.

Has anyone ever had experience with such an auction (negative or positive) or maybe acquired their own home through one?

I have to say, even if the auction had not been canceled, it would have been really too risky for me in the end. Too many uncertainties/risks, etc.

Purchased a semi-detached house through a classic foreclosure. Without inspection, photos, or concrete information, bought it on a hunch (the house was only a few years old). Therefore, the appraisal was without real significance – but since I come from the industry, I was able to assess the house well through an external inspection in the neighborhood. Positive: bargain (sold it again a few years later with a 50% profit) Negative: Had to break into my own house with a locksmith. Then found out that the previous owner and employees left the house abruptly (photo albums, naturalization certificate, business documents, etc. were still inside including food that was already starting to spoil). Furthermore, everything that wasn’t nailed or screwed down was removed. From the satellite dish to the bathtub, fixtures, sauna, bushes, and plants from the garden. Plus an ugly taste in interior design (stone plaster throughout the house – in the children’s rooms there was still blood next to the light switches from the kids hitting the switch and cutting their knuckles). Conclusion: I would do it again in the future. As a layman, partly an incalculable risk. I’ve had owners who, before the foreclosure, had “just quickly” drilled all the water pipes and then plastered over the holes. It was a huge mess but not illegal.
