5-person shared flat – a rental concept established for more than 20 years
The largest apartment in the portfolio has been used as a 5-person shared flat for more than two decades. The concept was already in place with the previous owner, was adopted upon acquisition, and has been successfully continued ever since.
Each resident has their own tenancy agreement.
Vacant rooms could regularly be re-let within a short period. The rooms and communal areas were renovated regularly.
Two rooms are currently being reorganized and upgraded. After one resident moves out, their room will be renovated and taken over by a resident already living in the shared flat. Their previous room has also been refurbished; the tenancy agreement for re-letting it at a monthly flat rent of €560 is shortly due to be signed.
€2,560 monthly flat rent
€30,720 income per year
After deducting the ancillary-cost share of around €560 per month used for the calculation, this results in a calculated net rental share of around €24,000 annually.

€807 net cold rent monthly
€9,684 net cold rent annually
The rent was regularly adjusted during the holding period within the scope permitted by law. The tenancy has existed for more than nine years
The tenancy has run calmly and reliably for years. There have been no problems with rent payments.
The high demand for new lettings of other apartments in the immediate Cologne portfolio also shows that the location is not dependent on this existing tenancy. For new lettings, it has sometimes been necessary to process three-digit numbers of interested parties within a very short period.

Will become vacant. Will be renovated. The buyer decides.
After the tenant moves out, the apartment will be renovated and deliberately not re-let as part of the sales marketing. It will be handed over vacant in order to give the new owner the greatest possible scope for action.
A TARGET net cold rent of €800 per month / €9,600 annually is assumed for the apartment after renovation.
This rental range is currently being achieved for appropriately renovated smaller apartments in the surrounding area.
The buyer therefore receives no new rented apartment with a lease specified by the seller, but can decide independently:
rent out anew · use personally · retain in the portfolio · sell separately
Especially within the overall offering, vacant possession creates additional flexibility.

€570 net cold rent per month
€6,840 net cold rent per year
As a landlord, one could hardly wish for a better rental history:
the same main tenant since 2010, no rent arrears and an exceptionally quiet tenancy.
Rent adjustments were made regularly during the holding period within the scope permitted by law.

Location

Location details

COLOGNE-WESTHOVEN
The three Cologne apartments are located in Wohnpark Westhoven. The residential complex combines generous green spaces with short routes for everyday needs and a direct connection to Cologne city centre.
Bakeries and discount supermarkets are practically just around the corner. A general practitioner, pharmacy, daycare centre and light rail are also within a few minutes’ walk.
And just a few minutes away begins one of the location’s greatest strengths: the Rhine with its cycling and walking paths, as well as the Westhovener Aue.
ON FOOT
Bakery: approx. 200 m 2 min.
Penny: approx. 250 m 3 min.
General practitioner: approx. 400 m 5 min.
Rhine: approx. 400 m 5 min.
Line 7: approx. 400 m 5 min.
Westhovener Aue: approx. 500 m 6 min.
Primary school: approx. 850 m 10 min.
Kita Nikolausstraße: approx. 100 m 1 min.

Directly into the city on Line 7
The Westhoven Berliner Straße and Westhoven Kölner Straße stops are only a few minutes’ walk away.
Line 7 connects Westhoven directly with Porz, Deutz and Cologne city centre.
Porz Markt: 6 min.
Deutzer Freiheit: 16 min.
Heumarkt: 17 min.
Neumarkt: 19 min.
This provides access to Cologne’s central employment, shopping and leisure areas without changing trains.

AND BY BIKE ALONG THE RHINE
Being close to the Rhine is not just a leisure benefit.
After just a few metres, you reach the riverside path. From there, cycle routes along the Rhine lead into the city centre.
Rheinauhafen: 6.4 km · 20 min.
Cologne-Deutz: 6.8 km · 22 min.
Old Town: 7.2 km · 23 min.
City centre: 8.2 km · 26 min.
At the same time, local recreation begins practically on your doorstep:
Rhine / towpath: 5 minutes on foot
Westhovener Aue: 6 minutes on foot
Poller Wiesen: 6 minutes by bike

ALSO QUICKLY ON THE ROAD BY CAR
A4 Cologne-Poll 2.8 km · 5 min.
Cologne/Bonn Airport: 9.5 km · 11 min.
Cologne city centre / Heumarkt: 9.2 km · 16 min.
Porz-Lind: 8.5 km · 12 min.
This means the location works in virtually every direction: everyday needs on foot, the city centre by Line 7 or bicycle, and quick access to the motorway and airport.
It is precisely this combination that makes Westhoven interesting for different residents – for working professionals as well as couples, families or people who want to combine short everyday journeys with proximity to the Rhine.

WOHNPARK WESTHOVEN
Spacious residential complex in a green setting
Wohnpark Westhoven was built in the mid-1970s
The size of the complex also makes possible something that is not a matter of course in Cologne: an expansive plot with generous green spaces and mature trees.

LANGENFELD
Peaceful living between Cologne and Düsseldorf
Langenfeld combines an independent residential location with proximity to two of North Rhine-Westphalia’s largest employment markets.
Everyday journeys are also short on Wupperstraße.
EVERYDAY LIFE
Bus stop: 250 m 3 min. walk
Bakery: 700 m 9 min. walk
Aldi / REWE: 1 km 3 min. by bicycle
Town centre: 2.1 km 7 min. by bicycle / 6 min. by car
Langfort Leisure Park: 1.8 km 5 min. by bicycle
Langenfeld town centre, including the Stadtgalerie, is therefore also quickly accessible.
Cologne or Düsseldorf – both work
Langenfeld S-Bahn station is 2.7 km away and can be reached by bicycle in 9 minutes. There is also a bus connection to the station.
The S6 connects Langenfeld with the major employment markets of Cologne and Düsseldorf.
Regularly, the following approximate travel times apply:
Düsseldorf Central Station: 21 min. from the S-Bahn station
Cologne Central Station: 28 min. from the S-Bahn station
Also excellently connected by car:
A3: 3.2 km 5 min.
Düsseldorf city centre: 28 min.
Cologne city centre: 32 min.
Düsseldorf Airport: 28 min.
Cologne/Bonn Airport: 26 min.
The apartment thus combines a peaceful residential location with accessibility to both metropolitan areas.
