Thank you, very clear.

About the cost, if divided by the number of the owners (32) maybe is not that high (at least I hope).

Dear all,

hope you are all fine.

I have a question for you.

In the tiefgarage of our community (Eigentumswohnung) we cannot use our mobile phone because the signal of the network is not available underground.

I would like to find a way to repeat/extend the signal in the tiefgarage so that in case of emergency (or if the car is broken, or in another cases) I can call with my handy.

Do you know if this is technically and legally possible?

If yes, how can I do it? do you have any link?

Thanks

Best regards

Dear all,

I will definitely try some of these shops,

Best

Dear Offenbacher

I moved to my apartment some months ago and I am exploring and enjoying the city of Offenbach, to the extent possible during this challenging period.

For the time being my impression are positive, I like the city very much: it is close to the river, overall well connected with public transports and highways, there are many good shops selling ethnic food, the forest is not too far, etc.

In this regard,I would like to ask you your suggestions about:

-) a good Metzgerei in Nordend/Market Platz area, just to try something different from Rewe, Aldi, etc;

-) a specialized shop for Mehl since like to make pizza at home :)...for the mozzarella I already go to L'abbate :).

Many thanks

Dear Both,

Many many thanks, no I have a much better picture of the situation.

This is very valuable and helpful for me :)))

Thank you Francesco Ok I will visit Check24 to get an idea. Yes I hope a I get a optic fiber.

On another topic: I heart that the municipality of Offenbach in the recent years has significantly increased the taxation for the owner of apartments. Do you know where I can find updated information on the current taxation level, including all federal and local taxes?

For 100 sqm how much should I expect to pay?

Dear All,

despite several months of delay in the construction of the project I will soon move to my apartment in Offenbach. One of my priority now is to find a good, speed and reliable internet provider. I know this is not an IT forum, however may I kindly ask you to advice me on the best internet provider in Offenbach (Telekom, Unitymedia, Vodafone?) I am not interested in having a traditional phone line, but only a high speed internet connection and maybe the TV.

Thanks

Best regards

Thank You Francesco, much appreciated :).

Thank you so much, this is a very useful information. I will make some calculation.

One question about energy efficiency.

The expected energy consumption of the apartment is the following:
Endenenergiebedarf: 65 KwH, Mq a, Class B
Primarenergiebedarf: 32 KwH Mq a, Class A+

I think this is good, but I don't know exactly how this work in Germany.

What do you think? Is a good energy efficiency standard?

Thanks

Hello,
do you know any web site with the historical evolution of the real estate prices in Offenbach and Frankfurt (at least last 15/20 years)?

Thanks
Trinita

Thank you so much for the answers, very interesting.

Thanks Francesco and Xalinai for your answer :).

Francesco: are you also Italian? Your name seems really Italian :)).
Why do you think it is better to rent? I see that prices are increasing and if the development of Offenbach and Frankfurt continue and the population will grow l, they will be even higher. The price In Offenbach for renting new apartments is about 12 euro/sqm. So for 100mq you pay(Kalt) around 1200. If you add a bit more you can pay a mortgage to buy. An I wrong?
For new apartment the price for buying is about 3700/4000 mq.domyou think is too expensive?

Xalinai: for the food I am thinking to go to the tree in the Hagen. It is only 500 meters and there I can find also Dm, Almanatura and other shops. I also like Offenbach because there are very good place for eating.

One techinal question for the architects of the forum: in the description of the apartment(bausbescribung) I cannot find the energy class (A,B,C ecc), it is only stated that the apartment is not eligible for KfW55. Where can I find this information(the energy class)? The non eligibility for KfW 55 is a serious problem?
Many thanks

Thanks Humpty,
I understand the location of my apartment is close to the Goethequartier (Bettinastrasse), not inside.

Could you please tell me something about my other questions?
How is Offenbach and how is developing?
On the paper it seems that many projects are on-going and the city will change very much.

Thanks

Fragen an das Offenbacher Forum

Hello,
First of all I apologize, but I don't speak German. I found this forum useful and I am reading it with google translate.

I am considering to buy an apartment (Neubau) in Offenbach and I would like to receive your help and your opinions since I am not very familiar with the area and the building sector in Germany.
The expected completion of the apartment is in May/June 2019 and it will be located close to the Hafen area, in the Goethequartier (500 m in the North-East from S-Bahn Ledermuseum).

I decided to buy there since the prices in Frankfurt are extremely expensive and out of my budget. Moreover, there is a good public transport system (4 lines S-Bahn) and direct connection with the Airport, the river is close, the city of Frankfurt is close.However I know that the city of Offenbach does not have a good reputation. I visited the area several times and I saw there are many project on going (Innovation campus, Viktoria viertel, Goetherquartie), so I hope it will further develop.
Here my questions:
1) What do you think about the requalification of the Goethequartier and in general about the perspectives of Offenbach? Will it be successful?
2) Do you think the noise originated by the plane is a serious issue for the value of the apartment?
3) Which aspects, in your view, should I consider before to decide to buy?

An alternative option, although a bit more expensive, would be in Gallusviertel (1 km on the west side of the S-Bahn station, Under Mainzer Landstrasse, so very close to the train station. What do you think about this area? I see it is close to the Europa Viertel, so it might also be subject to further development. What do you think is better?

Many thanks
Antonio
