What does \u201cpoorly leased\u201d mean?
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In practice, an apartment is often considered poorly leased if:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • the rent is significantly below current market rates<\/li>\n
  • the rent has not been increased for a long time<\/li>\n
  • there is a long-term lease agreement with a very low return<\/li>\n
  • the lease is difficult to terminate<\/li>\n
  • this makes the property unattractive to investors<\/li>\n
  • Modernization potential is blocked by the current lease
    \n(The commitment period has not yet expired; typically 10 years after conversion to a condominium association)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    In Berlin, this has a particularly strong impact on the sale price, as investors pay very close attention to yield metrics. (Income approach) <\/div>

    The Lease Termination Agreement as a Solution<\/strong><\/p>\n

    A lease termination agreement is a mutual agreement between the landlord and tenant to end the lease early. Unlike a standard termination notice, it is based on the consent of both parties. <\/div>

Owner-occupiers are often willing to pay a premium\u2014especially in sought-after locations such as Mitte, Prenzlauer Berg, or Charlottenburg.<\/p>\n

        An existing lease with a low rent, on the other hand, can significantly reduce the market value, as investors calculate their return on investment.<\/p>\n

        Bargain tip:<\/strong> Owner-occupiers with plenty of time can also purchase an affordable rented apartment and move in themselves within 1\u20133 years by terminating the lease for personal use. If sold later after a holding period of 3 years or more, the apartment can be sold vacant at a handsome profit.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_custom_heading text=”Strategies for Selling Apartments with Low Tenancy Rates” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:center” google_fonts=”font_family:Playfair%20Display%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:900%20bold%20regular%3A900%3Anormal” css=””][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line”][nectar_highlighted_text color_type=”regular” style=”full_text” highlight_expansion=”default” text_direction=”default”]1. Financial Analysis: Is Terminating the Lease Worth It?<\/strong><\/p>\n

        Before signing a lease termination agreement, you should calculate:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Potential additional proceeds from selling the property without a tenant<\/li>\n
        • The amount of a possible severance payment<\/li>\n
        • Tax implications<\/li>\n
        • The potential market rent a buyer could command for the vacant apartment. (Difference between current rental value and market rent)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          It often turns out that investing in a fair severance payment can pay off through a higher sale price.[\/nectar_highlighted_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][nectar_highlighted_text color_type=”regular” style=”full_text” highlight_expansion=”default” text_direction=”default”]2. Utilize Professional Assistance<\/strong><\/p>\n

          For many tenants, any discussion about their apartment is fraught with emotions and possibly fears; therefore, many landlords use neutral third parties, such as Future Gold as a real estate agent, to conduct such discussions. For tenants, real estate agents or the familiar property manager are often less intimidating than having a lawyer handle these discussions. This includes, among other things:<\/p>\n

            \n
          • Contract review (for example, for illegal subletting)<\/li>\n
          • Site visits<\/li>\n
          • Coordination with existing tenants<\/li>\n
          • Handover processes<\/li>\n
          • Mediation and balancing of interests<\/li>\n
          • Documentation of the apartment\u2019s condition<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/nectar_highlighted_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][nectar_highlighted_text color_type=”regular” style=”full_text” highlight_expansion=”default” text_direction=”default”]3. Alternative: Renting Out Before Selling<\/strong><\/p>\n

            In some cases, it may make sense to first rent out the apartment\u2014at market rates and, if appropriate, furnished\u2014and then sell it as a high-yield investment. This can increase its appeal to investors, particularly in the furnished apartment segment.[\/nectar_highlighted_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”10317″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][image_with_animation image_url=”10315″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#c4a445″ scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/6″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line”][divider line_type=”No Line”][divider line_type=”No Line”][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”2\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]What should owners keep in mind?<\/strong>
