Historical Interest Rates in Germany
The maintenance fee (Hausgeld) is a monthly payment that every property owner must make to the property management. It functions like a utility bill for apartment owners and covers various ongoing costs related to the building's maintenance and management.
The amount of the maintenance fee is based on a financial plan prepared by the property management and approved by the owners. The fee is usually calculated according to the respective property's ownership share (measured in square meters). The main components of the maintenance fee include:
Operating costs: General expenses for the upkeep of the building, such as waste disposal, cleaning, and garden maintenance.
Heating costs: Costs for heating communal areas and sometimes individual apartments.
Electricity costs: Costs for powering communal areas, like stairwell lighting.
Caretaker costs: Fees for the caretaker who handles daily maintenance.
Insurance: Contributions to building insurance, such as fire or water damage insurance.
Management costs: Costs for property management, which handles the legal and financial administration of the property.
Maintenance reserves: Reserves for future repairs and renovations of shared property.
These components ensure that the property is well-maintained and fully functional. The exact amount can vary depending on the type and condition of the property and the region. However, it’s essential to factor in the maintenance fee when calculating monthly expenses, especially when financing a property.
