Hello,

I urgently need support regarding the condition of the house and to what extent the price can be considered acceptable!

I could immediately buy a complete house, yard, and garden with 350 sqm for only €20,000.00, but I do not know if the price is reasonable, as the following defects caught my attention during the first house viewing:

Firstly:
Support beams, girders, and posts were partly placed under the roof beams, poor condition of the roof substructure wooden construction, partly leaking roof at the chimney!

Secondly:
In the basement (the house is partially basemented), supports, support beams, and girders have been installed!

Thirdly:
No heating – no hot water – heating is only possible with a wood-coal stove!

Fourthly:
In the barn, there is a pile of dirt, trash, sofa elements, couch, stripped kitchen stoves, and various bulky waste as well as a completely rotten caravan in the yard, etc.

Windows with double glazing and the front door were installed over 10 years ago and are still in good condition. The house was built around 1700 – therefore the walls are up to 1 meter thick and surprisingly the entire house masonry and cellar are dry.

What do you think – is €20,000.00 reasonable or is the whole thing too risky…?

Thank you very much in advance for your help

Best regards

When buying a house, I would consult an expert.
Is the building [denkmalgeschützt]?

The [Gutachter] examines every corner of the property.

Personally, I would not buy without an expert report.

Best regards, Eve

A forum will not be able to answer that for you, especially with such a low price.

Don't you have to calculate the land value minus demolition costs?

That's exactly how I would calculate it. The demolition costs must also include the costs for clearing the debris.
Is the house even allowed to be demolished? Do you like it enough to want to make something nice out of it?

Regards
Michael

Hello again everyone,

this is not about demolition but about whether the house is worth spending its 20,000.00 € to completely renovate it from the ground up...!!!
From the way I read these comments, probably not.
I think that settles the matter..!

No one can make an evaluation here. For that, you need to get an expert.
