]]> House and land: equipment, materials, financing, value https://lukinski.com/house-and-land-equipment-materials-financing-value/ Sun, 20 Dec 2020 15:58:13 +0000 https://lukinski.de/house-and-land-equipment-materials-financing-value/ House and lot – When buying a house, the property along with the lot offers a unity. However, the priorities of buyers differ. Some customers have special demands on the location and size of the property. Others attach importance to a very good equipment of the house, while the location of the property plays only a subordinate role. In each case it is important that house and property correspond to the fundamental conceptions of the prospective customer. Transparent customer care and the creation of an informative exposé are among the basics of a successful house sale.

Important criteria for the sale of a house

A successful house sale depends on various criteria, which can be very different for each individual. A very well equipped house, which is offered virtually turnkey, can sell worse than a property in need of renovation, which convinces with a very beautiful property or a particularly favorable price. When selling a house and property, supply and demand always count.

The exposé is a way to present the advantages, but also necessary investment. When preparing it, we do not limit ourselves to describing the size of the house and garden. We give the prospective buyers information about the outside facilities, the condition of the roof, heating and interior fittings, but also about the residential health and the possibilities of planning and financing. If you put your property up for sale to us, we will be happy to see it for ourselves on site. The impression we get of the property is an important basis for the preparation of a transparent exposé.

Worth knowing from A for outdoor facilities to W for healthy living

If you are considering selling your property, there are a few aspects that are important to consider.

Outdoor facilities: What you need to consider for the front garden, terrace and garden

Many buyers who want to purchase a house with land attach importance to a beautiful design of the outdoor facilities. If you offer a property for sale with attractive outdoor facilities, interested parties can be found quickly. If you decide to leave the house sale to a professional partner, you will save a lot of time. You don’t have to worry about contacting potential buyers and you can go about your work and everyday life. Read more on the subject of outdoor facilities.

Building materials: concrete, wood, stone, glass and plastics

Building materials are indispensable for the new construction of a house, but also for the renovation. Materials such as wood, stone and concrete are predominantly used. But plasterboard, glass and various plastics are also used. Building owners can influence the type of building materials. Basically, it is important that you pay attention to high quality. It does not matter whether you are overseeing the construction of a new house or have decided to renovate an existing building.

The building materials used are usually used for decades. They are exposed to very high stresses both outdoors and indoors. When using building materials that have qualitative limitations, minor renovations are often necessary at short intervals. You can prevent this by selecting high-quality building materials. Further information on the subject of building materials can be found here.

Roof: planning, construction and renovation of roof trusses & roof coverings

Modern roofs can have different shapes. For centuries, the classic gable roof was the most common roof shape in Germany. It was often modified into a hipped roof and equipped with dormers to make effective use of the space under the roof slopes. Tent roofs are used in the new city villas with two-storey construction. As part of a renovation, the shape of the roof can only be changed slightly. If you plan to do this, you will have to fundamentally redesign the house.

Roofing, on the other hand, is often the subject of renovation. Tiles are used, which are available in different colours, shapes and design variants. A new roof covering often goes hand in hand with a renovation of the roof structure. If the construction is fundamentally new and of high quality, a roof can last at least 50 years without the need for a new renovation. Learn more about the roof.

Do it yourself: New construction & renovation on your own

The term “Do it yourself” refers to the owner’s own contribution. When constructing a new building, but also when renovating a building, the builder decides whether he wants to do it himself or whether he prefers the turnkey construction method. There are advantages when a specialist company provides the services. As the building owner, you accompany the progress. However, you can primarily take care of your work and leisure activities. The amount of time you invest in construction is significantly less than if you opt for the do-it-yourself strategy. Discover more exciting information on do it yourself in relation to selling a house.

Energy and technology: Energy efficiency in technical installations & security systems

Many value-enhancing components of a house fall into the area of energy and technology. If you wish to sell your property without stress, we offer you our individual services as real estate agents for Rhineland-Palatinate and Hesse. This also includes the preparation of an exposé. This serves to describe your property to all interested parties who respond to the advertisement. The investments from the area of energy and technology are listed in the offer for your property on MeinHausverkauf.de. Read more about energy and technology.

Garage and carport: architecture, weather resistance, differences

A garage or carport for one or two cars is very popular with homeowners. An expose with a carport or garage is more popular with potential buyers than having the vehicle parked on the street or unprotected in front of the house. Installing a carport or garage not only provides greater convenience when using one’s home. These additions also have a positive effect on resale value. Opt for a more relaxed. Feel free to read on if you are interested in garage and carport.

Interior fittings for new buildings and renovations

The interior finishing of the house includes the design of the walls, ceilings and floors. In addition, the installation of the electrical systems, the heating and the water circuit takes place. Stairs and doors are installed and fixed fixtures are integrated in the kitchen and bathroom. When building a house, the interior finishing takes about the same time as the construction of the building until the topping-out ceremony.

The interior can be designed very individually by the builder. Not only in the case of a new building, but also in the context of a renovation, a new planning of the interior is possible. If an extensive renovation with a change in the internal structure of the house is planned, the house should be empty for the period of the construction work. Otherwise the renovation will be difficult. Here you will find further information on the subject of interior fittings.

Cellar of the house: finishing or storage room

A cellar can be used in many different ways. It can be converted into a living space, guest room or office, or used as a storage room. If the cellar has access to the outside, bicycles or garden tools can be stored in the rooms. Basement rooms must be planned for when building a new house. The costs are high. They run into five figures depending on the size of the basement. A basement can be installed at ground level or partially raised out of the ground. Both construction methods have advantages and disadvantages. Read more about basements.

Planning and financing: Real costs & favourable credits

In most cases, the purchase of a property is accompanied by financing. Very few property buyers are in a position to pay cash for their property. Financing for a property usually extends over a period of ten to 30 years. Careful planning is therefore very important. A stable income is one of the essential requirements for secure financing. The income should be secured for the financing period.

You need to take into account changes in life plans as well as the possibility of a loss of earnings due to illness or unemployment. Young couples may want to have children, which also affects income. Everything you need to know about planning and financing.

Dream houses: individual and indescribably beautiful

The concept of a dream home is defined very differently by a future homeowner. There are builders who understand behind it a luxuriously equipped house with a small low-maintenance garden in a central location. Others wish themselves a house in calm situation and take for it gladly a longer journey to the work or into the next city in purchase. In general, the term refers to a modern house that offers many amenities. Feel free to read on if you too are considering the topic of dream homes.

Healthy living at the heart of building modern homes

Healthy living is a modern term that refers to the use of environmentally friendly building materials. The aim is not to pollute the environment by building a house or housing complex. The health of the individual is also the focus of the new modern variants of building. An optimal indoor climate, a constant room temperature and the use of building materials that do not emit harmful substances are the most important foundations of healthy living. Pollutant emissions are completely avoided. Natural building materials such as wood or plastics, which are free of polluting substances, are used in modern construction. Sustainable building is becoming more and more popular and is even prescribed in parts for new buildings. You can find more exciting details on the topic of healthy living here.

Off Market Property – Off Market means your property sale will never be publicly visible. Your property will only be recommended to an internal, solvent group of buyers with an ideal constellation. Off Market sales are especially claimed by prominent persons who want to keep the sale as well as address, photos and much more secret. Private persons also use the service, for example if the family should not find out about the upcoming sale or the neighborhood. For such a discreet, off market sale you need a reputable real estate agent with a good network. Your advantage: Nobody will know about the sale.

Off Market: Sell Real Estate

My motto for selecting off market properties into my portfolio? Jewels that I would buy myself. All good offers, outside of Cologne, go directly into my off market portfolio and only and exclusively to personally known clients.

More excerpts of my portfolio can be found here: Off Market Portfolio.

Sell discreetly? Short procedure

We therefore market your property with special care and with the utmost respect for your privacy. We vouch for this with our good name! Because: “My home” – for most people this means the epitome of security, protection, privacy and, above all, a whole lot of stories that take place or have taken place within their own four walls. By now, you’re probably wondering: What are off-market properties, what are the benefits of investing in them, and how can I find a property to buy as an investment?

Now let’s look at off market selling and buying, as well as other questions and answers about off market real estate.

Anyone who wants to sell their property, especially the one they have lived in themselves, sells part of these stories along with it. With the sale of an apartment building or a rented apartment, this emotional state may be somewhat less intense. But here, too, the owner/seller and his property are linked by many stories.

Apartment house, house and ETW: Real estate trade discreetly

We pay close attention to your connections, feelings and stories with your property. When you sell your property through our office, our real estate experts pay special attention to discretion. And not only for luxury properties in upscale residential areas. After all, not every neighbor or the whole town has to know that you want to sell your house.

These are the mistakes to avoid

Many real estate owners and also many brokers run the risk of selling the offered property “dead”. This means, for example, that the property is offered on many platforms at the same time or at too short intervals one after the other. Who offers its house besides numerous brokers at the same time, or gives them in each case too little time to the sales, provides indeed for a broad dispersion of its offer. However, this strategy does not guarantee seriousness and thus a good sales success.

Ten mistakes in the classic house sale:

No exclusive contract

Brokers work without exclusive order of the seller

Too little time

The broker gets too little time for marketing

More than a broker

Several brokers sell one and the same object at the same time

Too much presence

The object appears simultaneously in many media

Too busy

The object appears in many media in short succession

Unrealistic purchase price

The sales price is set too high and decreases in (too) short intervals

Offline advertising

The sale of the house is displayed to the outside “shouting” with large signs on the object

“Mouth to mouth” dissemination

“Word of mouth” strategy begins with acquaintances and neighbors

Uninhabited impression

The object looks uninhabited and neglected

Permanent viewing appointments

Too many viewing appointments are made

Lukinski as your experienced discreet broker chooses completely different ways for the successful sale of your property. We do not want “the whole world” to know about your intentions to sell, let alone your asking price for the house. With just a few details about your property, we start looking for suitable buyers in a targeted manner and with the utmost discretion. For this reason, we do not put your property on the web with photos or with specific information about the location.

Discreet broker: services

  • Search for suitable buyers only through our wide-ranging customer file
  • Your property is only presented on selected digital platforms
  • And there also only with an understandable description of location and equipment
  • On request this presentation appears without purchase price
  • Exposé, address etc. will only be handed out to selected and checked customers.
  • Sales boards or similar are taboo for us
  • We visit you in neutral business vehicles without company logo
  • We arrange viewing appointments only with genuinely interested parties
  • And then, if possible, at times that are not recognizable as such to the neighborhood

When discretion is particularly important in the sale of real estate

The selling price of an upscale property can drop under certain circumstances even if the intention to sell is known to a wider public. Especially owners of this real estate category therefore like to resort to the “Secret Sale” strategy. For this reason, our business vehicles are also kept completely neutral, without a company logo or the like.

But even rather “average” properties in more or less sought-after locations can be sold better by means of discreet marketing work than through conventional channels. “Better” here refers primarily to the price! If the selling price of your property has been determined seriously beforehand, it is much more enforceable through Secret Sale according to our many years of experience.

Secret Sale has proven particularly successful in the sale of newly built properties. Especially when the seller – for whatever reason – has liquidity problems or other private emergencies as a reason for the sale.

Off Market Property: Buy

Most real estate markets in this country are considered hot – prices of homes for sale are rising with more demand than inventory. This makes it harder for real estate investors to find great investment opportunities due to intense competition. For an investor, this also makes it frustrating to bid on home after home, only to lose the deal to another buyer who outbid them.

Great investment opportunities

If you are looking for a way to avoid this situation, consider investing in off market real estate. Whether you are a seller or a buyer, off market properties offer many advantages.

  • More time to review the properties
  • Stay ahead of the competition
  • Negotiations can be more flexible

In fact, many properties are sold every month without ever being listed. These “off-market” listings are a great resource for savvy investors looking for great investment opportunities – for those who know how to find them!

Real estate for rent, as an investment and for own use

Are you looking for an exclusive property? My team and I have specialized in the brokerage of luxury real estate. Condominiums for capital investment (keyword asset growth) for parking or active rental or even for your own private use. Those who want to buy or sell a luxury property are also entitled to first-class services during the process and after the transaction. We offer you a comprehensive concept that takes care of everything completely.

Real estate is an excellent capital investment. This also answers the question of whether real estate is a sensible capital investment. Yes. Ultimately, real estate not only serves to increase one’s assets in the short term, but is also extremely attractive in terms of retirement provision.

Real estate transfer tax: taxes when buying a property

Whenever a property or share of a property is purchased in Germany, real estate transfer tax is incurred. But how much trade tax is due on the purchase of real estate? The amount of the tax is determined by the individual federal states. As a rule, the real estate transfer tax ranges between 3.5 percent and 6.5 percent, depending on the federal state in which the property or land is located. For quick orientation, we have summarized the real estate transfer tax rates for all 16 federal states with example purchase prices of 1 – 5 million euros, from Bavaria to Hamburg:

What is an off market listing?

Let’s now look at off market real estate in detail and start by explaining the definition of off market (“over-the-counter”).

Off Market Definition

In simple terms, off-market (i.e., off-market, or “hidden real estate market”) refers to real estate for sale (it may be land, a home, or commercial property). This means that the agent has not advertised this property. As a result, these properties are not seen by the public, so you have a greater chance of closing a deal if you know how to find them.

Off Market includes all types of objects:

  • Condominium
  • Own home (detached)
  • Semidetached and terraced house
  • Apartment house
  • Commercial property

Reasons for off-market listing

There are a few reasons why properties are not listed. It could be that the real estate agent is holding on to it and waiting for the right offer. Another reason could be that the home is in the early stages of foreclosure and has not yet been advertised. It could also simply be that the homeowner has considered selling but has not yet advertised the house for sale.

  • Direct profit for seller (through earlier purchase option)
  • Exclusive offer for buyers and investors (investment properties)
  • Divorce and separation in marriage
  • Forced sale after insolvency

Whatever the reason, savvy real estate investors understand that these off-market deals would make great investment properties. Why?

Advantages of buying “off-market” homes.

In addition to the exclusive deals just mentioned that you won’t find on the open market, you have 3 other distinct advantages when buying off-market real estate:

  1. More time to review the properties
  2. Stay ahead of the competition
  3. Negotiations can be more flexible

More time to review the properties

Off-market properties for sale are attractive to real estate investors for a number of reasons. First, time is on your side as a buyer. Some sellers expect a quick sale, forcing the buyer to rush to make an offer and close the deal before it closes. As a result, you have little time to complete the necessary credit check before buying an investment property.

Properties for sale on the open market, on the other hand, are different. Homeowners of these properties are usually in no hurry to sell (unless they are in need, of course). Furthermore, because there is less competition, real estate investors have the opportunity to take their time and thoroughly examine the property before making an offer.

Stay ahead of the competition

Buying real estate investments in a hot housing market means competing with hundreds of other real estate investors. By the time a house is listed in open listings or on real estate portals, the chances that you will get a good deal decrease.

Here comes another advantage of searching for off market deals. It gives you access to inventory that your competitors can’t see. Therefore, buying a home that has been taken off the market means that you will only be competing against one or two other prospective buyers. In fact, having access to an off market offer means that you increase your chances of buying the home and bringing it to closing.

Negotiations can be more flexible

Since neither you nor the seller is under time pressure, both parties will feel more relaxed and reasonable when they come to the negotiating table. For this reason, negotiations in off-market transactions tend to be friendlier, smoother and more flexible. However, buyers usually have the upper hand – especially if the seller is in distress. In this case, it is in the seller’s best interest to offer the buyer something they like. As a result, he is unlikely to be able to attach as many conditions to the sale as he might in other circumstances. This can lead to the kind of contracts that would never be possible in an open market.

Secret Sale: Real estate sale with a difference

If you want to sell something, you have to offer your product to customers. This fundamental rule in business seems to clash with the desire for “secret sale”. Especially when digital communication channels are to be used for the sales process. Selling a car, furniture, for example, and of course real estate is no longer conceivable without Internet platforms. Both sellers and buyers believe that a multitude of photos and detailed information will bring about a quick sale.

This is contrasted with our experience as an experienced Secret Sale broker. Discretion means for us that we observe above all the basic rules of discreet communication. Neither via internet platforms nor via other ways the public learns about your sales intentions. Instead of a broad distribution in the media, we prefer to connect your property specifically with suitable customers from our file. Instead of “walk-in customers”, we prefer to focus on selected (regular) customers for you. Test our experienced discrete concept by entrusting us with your property for sale for a limited period of time.

Real estate trading discreet

In a discreet manner means for the seller a maximum of privacy in the sales process. By means of a procedure that has been tried and tested over many years, we are able to shield our clients’ intention to sell from the general public, together with all the information that goes with it. At the same time, however, customer files and special marketing channels ensure that, with all discretion, the sales process takes place in a reasonable time and with the corresponding financial success for the owner. The exact degree of discretion is determined by the seller. And he is happy to do so again at any time.

]]> Outdoor facilities: What you need to consider for the front garden, terrace and garden https://lukinski.com/outdoor-facilities-what-you-need-to-consider-for-the-front-garden-terrace-and-garden/ Sun, 16 Aug 2020 14:59:42 +0000 https://lukinski.de/outdoor-facilities-what-you-need-to-consider-for-the-front-garden-terrace-and-garden/ Outdoor facilities – Many buyers who want to purchase a house with a plot of land attach importance to a beautiful design of the outdoor facilities. If you offer a property for sale with attractive outdoor facilities, you will quickly find interested buyers, according to experience. If you decide to leave the house sale to a professional partner, you will save a lot of time. You don’t have to worry about contacting possible interested parties and you can go about your work and everyday life.

Design options for outdoor facilities

Exterior landscaping includes the area in front of the house, but also the garage and carport, as well as outbuildings. A finished garden can significantly increase the value of a property. The size of the garden plays a rather secondary role. A beautiful lawn, attractive planting and an enclosure with fences or a green pergola increase the value of your property. Potential buyers appreciate attractively landscaped outdoor areas because the labor involved in planting the garden is eliminated. Plants grow with each passing year, increasing their value. If you have chosen rare plants or combined them in such a way that the garden blooms all year round, this also has a positive effect on the purchase price. Outbuildings are practical because they offer a lot of space and variable uses.

The front garden: Best fenced and the paths paved

The garden plot owned by a property owner begins at the edge of the road or at the end of the footpath. Regulations may vary in different cities and towns. However, it is usually the case that houses have a front yard. It does not matter if it is a detached single-family home, a townhome or a duplex. Between the footpath and the outer wall of the house, the front garden can be individually designed.

The size depends on the width of the house and the distance to the sidewalk. Houses with a large front garden are popular because they are slightly off the road. If you want to sell a house with a large front garden, its design is an important criterion. It is advantageous to have fencing around the area facing the footpath and the road. In this regard, fences made of metal are considered more likely to increase in value than a wooden fence, which requires regular maintenance, due to its durable structure. Tall plants that interrupt the view of the house and provide some privacy are also considered to add value, as is the installation of paved walkways.

The terrace: ideal with fixed gazebo or pergola

The terrace can be located directly at the house or in another area of the garden. Newer houses are characterised by a terrace that can be reached from the living room via a French window or balcony door. This is sometimes not possible with older houses. They would require extensive remodeling, especially if the basement is not at ground level under the house. If you want to sell a house with a high basement and you have put the patio in another area of the yard, it also counts as a value-added outdoor feature. Fixed gazebos or a pergola that is naturally landscaped are popular.

The garden: always a plus for nature lovers!

The garden is an important element of the exterior. If you sell a house that has a beautiful garden, you can increase the price. Popular with buyers are large lawns with a dense, beautifuly manicured lawn in a rich green. Borders of plants should be separated from the lawn by stones or a lawn edging. Fruit and vegetable gardens attract the interest of enthusiasts. But there are also customers who want a low-maintenance garden with lots of greenery and few plants.

Very large gardens are no longer so popular, especially with young buyers, because the maintenance effort is quite high. Small, lovingly landscaped gardens combined with a property that is ready for immediate occupancy are popular purchases. The demand for well-maintained properties remains high.

Planning and financing: costs, credits, tips

In most cases, the purchase of a property is accompanied by financing. Very few property buyers are in a position to pay cash for their property. Financing for a property usually extends over a period of ten to 30 years. Careful planning is therefore very important. A stable income is one of the essential requirements for secure financing. The income should be secured for the financing period. You must take into account changes in life planning as well as the possibility of loss of earnings due to illness or unemployment. Young couples may want to have children, which also affects income.

A garage or carport for one or two cars is very popular with homeowners.

Installing a carport or garage not only provides greater convenience when using your own home. These additions also have a positive effect on the resale value.

Roof: planning, construction and renovation of roof trusses & roof coverings

Modern roofs can have different shapes. For centuries, the classic gable roof was the most common roof shape in Germany. It was often modified into a hipped roof and equipped with dormers to make effective use of the space under the roof slopes. Tent roofs are used in the new city villas with two-storey construction. As part of a renovation, the shape of the roof can only be changed slightly. If you plan to do so, you will have to fundamentally redesign the house. Roofing, on the other hand, is often the subject of renovation. Tiles are used, which are available in various colours, shapes and designs. A new roof covering often goes hand in hand with a renovation of the roof structure. If the construction is fundamentally new and of high quality, a roof can last at least 50 years without the need for new renovation.
