I spent 5 years living in a 750sq ft 2 bed apartment and it was ‘cosy’. 500sq.ft is seriously small and a real problem if you’re hoping to share to reduce costs. 300k is still 2002/3 prices, TUG’s price is more 1998 and probably closer to the real worth.
I get the feeling the EA wrote this just before lunch.
Just to add to the chorus… I lived in a 1 bed that was 50 sq metres, and though it was comfortable, it would be the smallest I’d consider for a 1 bed, never mind a 2 bed.
It’s got electric heating, it’s very small - photos distored to make it look bigger. See photo 2 the pain of glass on the left its smaller than the one on the right. They’ve dropped the celing and move the right side of the room in and down that makes it look bigger. Why EA’s do this I don’t understand it gives a negative impression as soon as you walk in
But of course, if you don’t think so, then spend one third of a million Euros on an apartment. Or 9 times the average salary. But don’t expect anybody to buy it from you in the future for much more than the Berlin apartment above. And don’t expect the rent to come anywhere near covering the mortgage, ever.
When the dust settles that apartment will be work less than 80,000 and the best rent you’ll get will be less than 300 per month.
They haven’t manipulated the image if that’s what you mean; al they’ve done is use a wide-angle lens for the photo. It’s a common EA trick to make a small place look bigger, and more and more EAs are copping on to this. You can always recognise a wide-angle photo when you see most of the ceiling and the floor in the same frame.
