Buy farm with need for renovation
Many farms are no longer in cultivation due to the changed structures in agriculture, but also due to the lack of offspring. Children and children’s children of the former owners move to the city and look for a new centre of life there. This is one of the reasons why many farms are for sale. With a farm complex, you are in many cases acquiring very large buildings that are already quite old and in need of a lot of renovation. The advantage of buying such a property is that you will be able to design it according to your personal preferences. In addition, you will acquire the farm at a particularly favourable price.
Special real estate with a small circle of interested parties

Mill, half-timbering, old factory and monument protection

In some regions that have a strong rural character, farms are offered that have already been renovated. The advantage is that you can move into the property promptly without much further investment and with little work. However, there are also disadvantages here that you should be aware of.
Need for renovation of the farm
If the renovation of the farm is already completed, you will usually have to pay a higher purchase price than if you decide to buy a renovation property. This is considered an advantage due to the low further investment costs. Sometimes, you will even pay less for a farm without the need for redevelopment than the total cost of the purchase and subsequent redevelopment would be. However, it does happen that the way in which a farmhouse has been refurbished does not meet your expectations. If you still like this property and decide to buy it, you will pay the high cost of the purchase and still have to put money into the renovation.
