Almost 7% yield! 4-room apartment for rent – a solid investment property in Bochum-Wattenscheid.

This 96.12 m² apartment, located on the 1st floor, was created by combining two original apartments and offers a spacious four-room layout with living, working, and two bedrooms, as well as two bathrooms. The apartment is heated by a gas-powered central heating system, and hot water is provided by a separate unit. In 2010, the apartment was fitted with new laminate flooring and repainted. It includes a private storage room (8.80 m²). The apartment is currently rented on a long-term lease (since 09/2020, occupied by 2 people). As of 01.10.2026, the net cold rent was adjusted to €574.00 (€5.97/m²), which equates to an annual net cold rent of €6,888.00. The photos are original images of the apartment; furniture and curtains have been digitally removed using AI image editing to provide a neutral impression of the rooms. Investment property with a yield advantage: The purchase price of €135,000 includes a rental subsidy of €6,000, valid for the first three years after purchase. This amount will be paid back to the buyer after the full purchase price has been paid. This increases the gross yield in the first three years from 5.10% to 6.58%. From a tax perspective, we anticipate that depreciation (AfA) of at least 4% can be claimed for the property, provided that a shorter remaining useful life than the standard building usage period can be demonstrably proven by an expert assessment. We will obtain the corresponding expert assessment for the buyer. An additional parking space in the courtyard can be purchased for €5,000.
