When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

well, thank you :-)!
agree Dr. Michael Bolten : "well let" ist super.

all's well that lets well :-)
agree Sladjana Spaic : I do agree, however, I wonder whether "ausgezeichnet" could be translated as "primely" or similar, as to give some more emphasize on how it was let. In other words, "well" might be a bit too weak.

extremely well :-)

Thanks!
agree Alison Schwitzgebel : I'd even consider "superbly let" or something along those lines, echoing sladjana's concern's that "well" is a bit weak.

German term (edited): ausgezeichnet vermietet

is (are) rented (or let) at a good price

I have always believed that "well rented" meant rented at a good price as opposed to "almost fully rented."
Maybe I have always been wrong about this.
If ambiguity might result , it might be best to choose one or the other.
Of course, one might sometimes have reason to retain the ambiguity.
Peer comment(s):

neutral DC Josephs : I've been doing a bunch of this stuff lately, and my clients consider this to mean high rent, long leases + low/no vacancies - not price alone

has an excellent rental history

This is probably included in the meaning a British native would derive from "well let" but would make little sense to the average U.S. reader. I think the landlord/agent is indicating its "desirability" and "ease of rental" because of its location.

the property is let out on (extremely) favourable terms

What I mean is that in the perception of the landlord, he has a good deal (attractive rent) and the lessee feels he is getting a nice, well furnished property for the amount he pays. It is infact a win-win situation for both.

"ausgezeichnet vermietet" should not be taken to mean that the Lessor is getting a very good price. "Price" only forms part of the rental agreement. I wanted to include the other terms and conditions besides the "Price" and hence my suggestion "favourable terms"
