Possibility to buy apartment?
the real question is what the teilungserklärung and the community rules look like. if the new owner still holds 10 of 12 units they can basically push through whatever renovation they want at the eigentümerversammlung, and you'd have to pay your share. check if the offer includes a fixed price for your share of future repairs or if it's just the unit as-is. also ask your hausverwaltung directly about any planned modernisierungsumlage - if they're planning big stuff, that cost gets passed to tenants but as an owner you'd pay directly. a central berlin apartment for cheap usually means the hidden costs are real
i'd be careful with the wohnungseigentumsgesetz stuff - as an owner you're liable for the gesamtschuld if other owners stop paying their hausgeld. with the big company holding most units they might not care but you'd still be on the hook. talk to a mieterschutzverein first before signing anything
That price sounds suspiciously low for a central Berlin apartment, even in a building that needs work. The new owner probably wants to unload units quickly to avoid the cost and hassle of major renovations, which they're legally obligated to do if the building's in bad shape. You should check the Mietspiegel for your area and look up what comparable apartments sell for, because "super cheap" in a central location could mean the structural issues are worse than they look. Also, banks in Berlin are notoriously picky about financing apartments in buildings with pending renovation work, especially if the building's energy efficiency is poor, so you might want to talk to a mortgage broker at Interhyp or Dr. Klein before getting your hopes up.
