Hello berliners,

After 1.5 years of apartment searching, I finally got an offer from Howoge for a 2.5 room ~59sqm apartment, the rent is also fine. However, their email says that the apartment will be handed over "as you viewed it".

As far as I remember from the viewing day, the apartment seemed like an unfinished one and I'll have to spend a lot of money+time to renovate it. No kitchen, ruined flooring, no wallpaper or paint on walls.

To be honest, I have no experience in all this and I also don't wanna end up with an empty pocket.

Can some of you advise if this is a good offer and I'm just stressing too much. What should be a reasonable estimate of what it could cost me to renovate, and is it okay to ask some of these costs from Howoge?

Thank you in advance..
