FAQ: Investment Property in the Ruhr Area
What return can I achieve with an investment property in the Ruhr area?
Depending on location, property type and condition, rental yields in the Ruhr area typically range between 4 and 7%. In sought-after locations such as Essen-Rüttenscheid or Mülheim-Süd, the yield is somewhat lower but comes with greater value appreciation potential. In up-and-coming neighbourhoods such as Duisburg-Ruhrort or Oberhausen-Sterkrade, entry prices are lower, so gross rental yields are often higher.
Which properties are suitable as an investment in the Ruhr area?
Particularly suitable are fully let multi-family buildings, condominiums with existing tenancy agreements, and commercial properties with long-term leases. We provide individual advice on which investment property best fits your yield and security objectives.
As an investor, do I have to pay the broker’s commission?
Since the 2020 reform of the broker fee allocation, buyer and seller generally split the broker’s commission equally on property sales. The exact commission amount is agreed individually and disclosed transparently in the purchase contract.
Can I have Wellhöner manage my investment property?
Yes. In addition to brokering investment properties in the Ruhr area, we can also take over the complete property management, rental management and owners’ association (WEG) administration of your investment property – personal, reliable and transparent, all from a single source.
