Property as an investment: check the figures, understand the risks

Are you looking to buy a property to let? FLEXMAKLER will support you in your search for a property and help you to assess the location, rent, costs and documentation in a clear and transparent manner.

What an investment can do – and what it cannot

A let property can generate a regular rental income. Whether it is worth buying depends on the purchase price, the potential rental income, the financing and the long-term costs.

Vacancies, repairs and changes in interest rates can affect the figures. There is no guarantee of capital appreciation or inflation adjustment. We will discuss opportunities and outstanding issues using specific properties as examples.

Four questions to ask before you buy

Is the location suitable for letting?

What is the demand like? What is a realistic rent? Location and target audience determine how easily the property can be let.

How much does the property actually cost?

In addition to the purchase price, there are incidental purchase costs, service charges, management fees and any maintenance costs.

What documents are available?

In the case of rented flats, documents such as the tenancy agreement, the declaration of division and the owners’ minutes are important.

Will there still be enough financial leeway?

Make sure you factor in vacancy periods, repairs and financing costs – not just the basic rent.

Here’s how we can help you with your search

1. Define the search profile: We’ll discuss the budget, location, intended use and funding.

2. View properties and documents: We present suitable properties and help you make sense of the details regarding rent, condition and costs.

3. Agree on the next steps: If you are interested, we can arrange a viewing and provide further documentation. You can discuss financing separately with FLEXHYPO.

Frequently Asked Questions about Investment

How much equity do I need?

This depends, amongst other things, on the purchase price, the service charges, your savings and the financing arrangements. It would be irresponsible to quote a flat-rate figure. Please check the costs associated with the specific property.

Is rental income guaranteed?

No. Vacancies, missed payments and repairs can reduce your income. You should therefore set aside sufficient reserves.

What documents should I check before making a purchase?

In addition to the property details, the tenancy agreement, energy performance certificate, service charge statement, budget and minutes of owners’ meetings may also be relevant. What is required depends on the property.
