Abandoned manor house Mecklenburg-Vorpommern
Living and working in an old manor house. Fulfil your dream of living in a historic house in the country! The number of manor houses that can be bought for little money is dwindling from year to year.
The purchase of a manor or countryhouse in need of renovation, e.g. in the british countryside, can often be cheaper than you think - even if your budget is limited. Sometimes houses can be made habitable again with manageable effort.
It is always helpful to make as many contacts as possible. You need friends and helpers who can help on site: A lot of work can often be done quickly with a lot of helpers: Removing wild growth, clearing the house of rubble and dirt or demolishing garages and other foreign buildings that are located on a historical estate.
Before buying a manor house, however, you should always draw up a plan and carefully consider how you want to use and finance a historic house in the future: Mixed use of residential and commercial areas is popular: you can, for example, live in an area privately and rent out some rooms or open them for events.
A frequent stumbling block is dealing with monument authorities. Many castle owners have very different experiences: Depending on where they buy a historic property and which authority is responsible, it can be easier or more tedious and lengthy.
In principle, however, the following applies: In the case of old houses with a preservation order, the owner's own ideas about the extension and use are always an unknown quantity and have to be agreed precisely with the authorities. It is therefore advisable to always contact the Monuments Office before making a purchase. After a few conversations you should be able to assess for yourself to what extent you can realise your ideas and whether you can generally "get along" with the responsible authority.
However, if you manage to hold out until the end, you will usually not regret it. The result is an individual home in old walls that breathe again and sometimes tell stories. Especially recommended for plagued city dwellers from London, Birmingham or Manchester.
