I have a very general question (we have already built). In our city, the following is being offered:

- 82 sqm rooftop terrace apartment in a multi-family house (15 units) in Kfw55 standard with underfloor heating and ventilation system for €72,000 including wall work (white painted painter’s fleece) and tiles for the usual rooms like kitchen, bathroom, etc... (€20/sqm). (A kitchen for €2500 is also already included)
I understand that this doesn’t mean much at first. But the price is very low. Even if you add €10,000 for nicer tiles and more sockets, the total price will still remain relatively manageable.

I tried to google, but I only find advantages/disadvantages about renting. But what should be considered when buying such an apartment?

The stated purchase price is called quote: "cooperative shares (deposit) €72,000"

Where is the catch here? That is clearly too cheap. The price is well below €1000/sqm. Some additional costs are indeed lower (e.g. house connections only apply once for 15 units, although they would then be somewhat bigger and more expensive).
What additional costs actually arise?! Am I even an owner with a deposit? If not, then no real estate transfer tax should apply. But how can you finance the money with a mortgage from the bank?!
If you are not the owner of the apartment, can someone else (with the corresponding deposit) register a legitimate interest in your own apartment?!

Of course, I understand that in a multi-family house, usual house charges apply. But these only cover the costs that would always arise in one way or another as a normal owner of a house. (except maybe administration fees and possibly commissioned gardeners, etc...)

Oh yes: the €72,000 apartment is by far the most expensive. It comes with a large rooftop terrace facing south/west and no taller houses/buildings nearby (so good view). The location in our district town can also be described as a better neighborhood.

Contact a bank with the documents available to you. They will then tell you what they will do or not.

Without further documents, no one here can tell you anything.

The only thing I can tell you: You will become a (partial) shareholder of a company and not the owner of a condominium under [WEG].

Tax-wise, this is not a straightforward matter. I also don't think you will receive rent from [V+V], but another kind of return (profit from the cooperative?). Therefore, I recommend consulting a tax advisor.

I don't want to buy at all ^^ I'm just interested in how something like this is handled.

It's about personal use of the purchased item, not renting it out.

Sorry, didn’t read that you are the OP. Then it gets even more complicated. Then you are a part shareholder, hoping for profits, but preventing them through self-use, whereby the lost profit is presumably taxable... for me a very hot potato. It can be interesting, but carries real risks.

hm probably you have to pay rent to the company of which you are a shareholder. Weird

no rent should arise, "only" about 350€ house charges including all incidental costs that occur. very likely a gardener/snow removal is already included.

overall, this principle does not seem to be very common, since no one here really knows the right answer. I will just write to them. because overall the price is already very good for a brand new 3-room attic apartment with a large roof terrace and a great view. and basically everything is included, even wall work, kitchen (although for 2500€ really nothing special) and floor.

it's just out of interest.
