Refurbishment property with attractive funding opportunities

Depending on the future owner's intended use, alternative arrangements to paying the purchase price could be considered, such as a shared or special ownership stake for the seller (e.g., a condominium). We are offering a property complex in need of renovation, located in a designated "urban redevelopment area" (§ 142 of the German Building Code) in the town center of D-54424 Thalfang, with attractive funding opportunities available. The double plot of land (953 square meters) includes buildings with a potential living area of approximately 640 square meters (plus 85 square meters of utility space), which can also be expanded (through renovation or extension):
- A residential and commercial building with a town-center character, built around 1912, with a living area of approximately 265 square meters (partially under sloping roofs), and a total utility area of approximately 320 square meters.
- An old bakery with approximately 102 square meters of utility space.
- An old, solid barn with approximately 107 square meters of utility space (expandable).
- An old slaughterhouse with a solid concrete roof, with approximately 194 square meters of utility space.
The buildings were previously used as a bakery and butcher shop and can be restored for residential or commercial use. With the current building structure, up to 8 apartments (including studio or loft apartments), offices, or small businesses/craft workshops could be created. In addition, there is a small, quiet, and sunny garden area. The main building (formerly a café) has been demolished, and in its place, a permanent gravel parking area has been constructed, surrounded by a new natural stone wall (approximately 8 to 10 parking spaces in total on the entire property). The main building has, among other things, a natural gas connection and a new fiber optic connection. The roof orientation is predominantly southwest (with regard to potential solar panel installations). Depending on the future use of the property, various financial support options, which can be combined, may be available, including:
- "Commercial to Residential" (KfW program 266), up to €30,000 per newly created apartment.
- Tax depreciation according to §7h EStG (100% within 12 years) due to the formal classification of the Thalfanger town center as a "redevelopment area" according to § 142 of the Building Code.
- "Support for the construction of rental apartments" with program 551 through ISB (Investitions- und Strukturbank Rheinland-Pfalz), with an interest rate of 1% per annum and repayment subsidies of up to 35% (with 15% "own contribution"), loans up to €2,500 per square meter. - Energy-saving measures supported by KfW / BAFA.
- Improving the quality of life in rural areas through the "Village Renewal" program (Bernkastel-Wittlich district), which provides funding for the repurposing of existing buildings in villages or the creation of workplaces near residential areas. The level of funding for each individual project can be up to 35%.
- EU LEADER funding, administered by "LAG Erbeskopf," to promote the development of rural areas in Europe.
