Commission-free real estate directly from the owner in Wülfrath

Working on the Rhine and Ruhr - living in Wülfrath free of brokerage fees

Situated in the idyllic Niederbergisches Land, halfway between the major cities of Essen, Wuppertal and Düsseldorf, the small town of 21,000 inhabitants in the northeast of the district of Mettmann scores points above all for its location. It is ideally suited for commuters who have their jobs in the surrounding metropolises of the Ruhr area, the Bergisches Land region or the Rhine region, but prefer a place to live in the countryside. Especially for car traffic, the traffic connections are ideal: Wülfrath is surrounded by the freeways A 535, A 46, A 44 and A 3, so that the Ruhr area or the Rhineland can be reached from here in about 30 minutes. A suburban train stop in Wülfrath-Aprath connects the small town with the Essen suburban train network. In addition, various bus lines provide good connections to Wuppertal, Düsseldorf, Ratingen and Velbert. Beyond the transportation infrastructure, there are many good reasons to choose Wülfrath as a place to live in the heart of North Rhine-Westphalia. A historic old town invites shopping and sightseeing, the new residential quarter Düsseler Tor, inspired by the architecture of Friedensreich Hundertwasser, and numerous idyllic walking and hiking trails through the countryside around Wülfrath ensure a high residential and recreational value. A special highlight in Wülfrath's surroundings are the abandoned limestone quarries, which are slowly being reclaimed by flora and fauna. To this day, Wülfrath's local economy is dominated by the Rheinkalk plant, which belongs to the Lhoist Group. In addition, the small town is home to the long-established automotive supplier tedrive Steering Systems GmbH and the children's vehicle manufacturer Puky.

Inexpensive and in the countryside: Wülfrath's real estate market

The real estate market in Wülfrath also speaks in favor of choosing this town as one's future place of residence. This is because average rents in Wülfrath are considerably lower than in the Mettmann district as a whole. For example, according to information from the real estate portal immobilienscout24.de, one pays an average of 6.20 euros/square meter for an apartment in Wülfrath, compared to 7.00 euros in the entire district of Mettmann. But even here, in Wülfrath, rents are rising, albeit at a much lower level than in the neighboring city of Düsseldorf, for example. The price difference between Wülfrath and the entire Mettmann district is even greater when it comes to asking prices for single-family homes: At an average of just over 290,000 euros, one pays almost 200,000 euros less for a house here than, for example, in Ratingen, which also belongs to the district. The proportion of properties on offer free of commission is also much higher in Wülfrath than in Ratingen, which is closer to Düsseldorf. This shows once again that the chances of getting a commission-free apartment or house increase if you are willing to compromise on the location of the property. But real estate providers also know that they get far more inquiries without a broker than with one - because many prospective buyers are put off by the high brokerage fees.
