Plot with old buildings in Arzberg – 352 m²

The Upper Franconian town of Arzberg offers an interesting opportunity for investors and project developers: two adjoining plots (Flurstücke) with a total area of 352 m² are offered for sale strictly together. The property at Anger 10 lies in an established residential area, not far from the local festival ground.

Plot 471 (112 m²) is built on with a house erected around 1900, which a 2024 expert report (Sachverständigengutachten) classed as fit only for demolition because of considerable damp and structural damage. Plot 470 (240 m²) includes a house from 1964 with four integrated garages. The expert was unable to inspect the inside of this second building.

The asking price is €38,000, which corresponds to around €107.95 per m² of plot area. The existing buildings and the shared location of the two plots offer starting points for a possible reorganisation of the site. Structural alterations, demolition or new construction require a separate review under building law and, where applicable, a permit.

The living areas stated describe the old buildings as they stand today. They are no statement about future building rights and no confirmed living area for any later use.

• Two adjoining plots: no. 471 (112 m²) and no. 470 (240 m²)
• Two existing residential buildings, built c. 1900 and in 1964
• Four integrated garages in the building on plot 470
• Electricity and water connections present according to the expert report, but disconnected
• Waste water disposal via the municipal sewerage system
• Pronounced slope and irregular plot shape
• Plot partly fenced
• Older building: individual stoves, no central heating, considerable damage
• More recent building: type of heating not known, interior not inspected

For the roof of the older building, the expert report names synthetic slate; a suspicion of asbestos was mentioned but has not been confirmed. The report did not suspect any environmental contamination (Altlast).

The property is located at Anger 10, 95659 Arzberg, in the Upper Franconian district (Landkreis) of Wunsiedel im Fichtelgebirge, Bavaria. According to the expert report, the plots lie in the old-building area of Am Anger near the local festival ground, in an established residential setting. In 2024 the expert described the location for transport and commerce as good; the town has corresponding infrastructure.

Arzberg lies in north-eastern Bavaria in the Fichtelgebirge region. The location is shaped by its proximity to regional centres such as Marktredwitz and Selb and to the Czech border. Specific journey times and distances are not part of the available documents and have not been separately checked.

The expert report points out that demolishing the older building and merging the two plots could result in a considerably better overall situation for the building on plot 470. The access situation in particular is currently restricted.

Conceivable options are the repair of existing space, a reorganisation of the plots or a new building development, in each case after demolition and the access situation have been reviewed. However, there is no building permit (Baugenehmigung) and no binding statement on what new construction would be permitted. These scenarios are expressly not guaranteed building rights. Demolition before the sale is not confirmed.

• Energy certificate (Energieausweis): not known whether one exists
• Type of energy certificate, energy performance figure, efficiency class and main energy source: not known
• Type of heating: individual stoves in the old building, not known in the 1964 building
• Years built: c. 1900 and 1964

According to the expert report, both residential buildings were vacant in 2024; it is not known whether the four garages are let, and the current letting status is not confirmed. There is therefore no reliable information on rental income or a yield. Arithmetically, the asking price comes to c. €107.95 per m² of plot. Considerable renovation, demolition and site servicing costs may affect the economic viability and should be examined before any investment decision.

The offer covers only the joint sale of plots 470 and 471. According to the seller, the buildings are still standing. Handover is by arrangement.

The buyer's commission is 3.00% of the notarised purchase price plus statutory VAT, which at 19% comes to 3.57% in total. At a purchase price of €38,000, this works out at €1,356.60 including VAT.
