Real estate offensive

The city's vacancy management is actively working to eliminate vacancies and thus increase the attractiveness of the city of Hof.

With the help of comprehensive subsidy advice combined with mediation to potential enquiries, solutions for vacancies and space resources in our city can be found together with citizens.

Property owners and those interested in building or redevelopment can contact the City of Hof's property campaign at any time.

Initial refurbishment consultation

Do you own a vacant property or are you considering buying one?

The topic of building and renovation is often associated with a certain degree of uncertainty for laypeople and raises many questions:

  • How good is the existing building fabric?
  • What subsidies are available?
  • How much does a renovation cost?
  • How do I deal with listed buildings?
  • How do I approach an energy-efficient refurbishment?
  • How can I adapt the existing building to contemporary (living) requirements?

In order to clarify these questions and to give you more security, we offer an initial refurbishment consultation by experts.

You can find more information in our flyer.
