Ciao a tutti,
Ero curioso e guardavo le case in vendita in Germania e mi sono scioccato nel vedere una casa con 5 camere da letto per nemmeno £ 200k.
Qualcuno sa se l’area è cattiva o pericolosa? Perché è così economico?

Just veeery rural i think
It’s a town with less than 1000 inhabitants.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peterswald-L%C3%B6ffelscheid
never heard of it before, to be honest.
but here is probably one of the reasons why it is “cheap”:
> Only 5 km southwest of Peterswald-Löffelscheid lies Hahn. The constituent community of Löffelscheid lies within the Frankfurt-Hahn Airport noise protection zone, and is therefore subject to a certain amount of noise
Maybe you rent the land…, there are too many things, curious to hear others too
In a really small village with nothing going on, and the energy ausweis is probably very poor (not positive but likely). It would cost 200.000€ to modernize the insulation. Not dangerous or anything.
It’s in a pretty rural area of Germany.
Seems to be a small town.
Prices like this are not unusual in these areas
It could be so cheap because it needs maybe new things like a roof, a new heating system etc.
So many further costs could come up to you.
It’s probably just far out in the countryside.
Contrary to popular belief, there are plenty of affordable houses, just not in the fancy places everyone is fighting for.
from a look on google maps it looks very rural. Since I dont know that area personally could be that the closest schools and supermarkets are a few kilometers away. also the village has no train connection. And the closest cities that I have heard about in the area, Trier and Bitburg, are both over an hour car drive away.
It is in the middle of nowhere… In Rhineland Palatinate.
In the Moselvalley but according to Google Maps the furthest away from the River Mosel. it is possible)
But mooving there you can Reserve the License Plate COC – K and a Number, if you want… (as the Kreis Cochem-Zell has the Licenseplates COC.)
It is in the middle of nowhere and that is why it is so cheap.
It’s in bumfuck nowhere AND it’s in the flight corridor of an international airport.
Well. For real estate pricing you basically have three factors:
1. Location
2. Location
3. Location
That village could also be named Bumfuck, Nowhere.
It’s a village with < 1000 residents, 1 hour by car from anything resembling a city.
Pretty rural, massive investments into energy and heating needed (class H currently) and the last renovation indoors was done nearly 20 years ago.
Other than that: there are certainly areas where you find cheap houses.
Houses in rural areas are often very cheap. This one is in a small town without any shops. Furthermore, the house has a very bad energy rating and a quite old heating appliance. Which means you would have to invest some money to get it up to modern standard or else pay high heating costs.
Edit: For the sake of forther discussions, here is the house [Haus 231 m² 229000 € zum Kauf Peterswald,Peterswald-Löffelscheid (56858)](https://www.immowelt.de/expose/0561a8ea-bdfa-416f-944a-80d384b7697c?ln=classified_search_results&serp_view=list&search=distributionTypes%3DBuy%2CBuy_Auction%2CCompulsory_Auction%26estateTypes%3DHouse%2CApartment%26locations%3DPOCODE4043%26order%3DPriceDesc&m=classified_search_results_classified_classified_detail_L)
couple things why something like this might happen:
* rural, things you need like supermarkets, doctors are far away
* no or bad public transport available
* cheap houses in rural areas are often no longer complying with current environmental laws and need a mandatory expensive remodeling in some areas like heating and insulation that might be double the price of the house
* depending on how old the house is you may not be allowed to change certain things which might conflict with mandatory renovation or make it extra expensive
* depending on age there might be asbestos you need to get rid of
* very old and rural buildings are often vermin infested, hard to impossible to get rid off
* mold might be an issue as well
* price might be listed excluding additional fees you’ll need to pay like commission, notary fees (very expensive in Germany compared to other countries), common trick to attract buyers who don’t know what buying property entails
* might be in an area that regularly floods or has other environmental issues or suffered damages during a flood
* might be a scam since Germans offering property to buy especially outside of major cities keep their offer in German. If it’s available in other languages online and not from a selection a real estate agent of your choice puts in a portfolio made for you, be very careful
How much are the houses outside major cities? frankfurt, munich, hamburg etc
As well as other things mentioned you find often properties that need total renovation are priced low to seel.
This 200k property may take another 500k to renovate if you need to gut it and replace heating, pipes, rewire & god knows what else.

I wouldn’t want to buy a house or live there.
It’s not a bad neighbourhood, my mum lived in this area for about a year. It’s mostly old people. The younglings have left for other cities. It’s very peaceful, atleast a few years ago, it was.
It’s in the middle of some asshole with absolutely nothing around.
The area is next to nowhere but still rather loud. You’ll basically need a car for everything. There’s no supermarket, not even a gas station. There’s not even a school there if you plan on having kids.
Rural, dead or soon to be dead village, no shops and old building with who knows what wrong with it.
You will need a car, maybe two if you fill the house with a big family. There are always reasons these places go for the price they do.
You will find houses in a better location for about the same… Be prepared to spend the same amount on renovation. Unless you don’t mind 40 year old toilets.
