Hello
We will soon have the opportunity to purchase a plot of land for a single-family house or a semi-detached house in West Münsterland. I want to live there with my wife (and possibly 2 children one day).
Now the question is how we want to build the house. Basically, we have nothing against semi-detached houses. What has always bothered me so far, however, were the dimensions of the living room (e.g. 6 x 7 m). My living room should be rather elongated, so that the living room might be 5 x 9 m. On one side, the dining area should be connected to the kitchen and on the other side the sofa area with the TV on the short wall side (and not on the long one). At the city office today, the person distributing the plots said that it would also be possible with a semi-detached house. Apparently, I lack the imagination of how something like that could come about. The plot would be approx. max. 350 sqm for a semi-detached house (115€ including development).
Is the price advantage per sqm of a semi-detached house actually that high, or does it not make much difference compared to a single-family house (+ approx. 100 sqm plot area = +11500€)? For single-family houses, the garages of two plots can be built next to each other at max. 9m length.
It should be built without a basement (cost), therefore a large garage and a study are planned. My wife actually wants a basement, but I think it is just a storage room. However, the ground is well suited for a basement. No stagnant water or clay layers, etc. The roof is actually to be built normal. That was at least our plan. But many houses are also built with a tent roof. Does that make sense (for a single-family house)? What are the advantages?
Also, I might want a KfW 70 house. Controlled residential ventilation with heat exchanger and allergy filter would be great! I am allergic to house dust mites. In addition, I am a fan of wooden floors (maybe also for the terrace? Keyword Bangkirai). I might get it cheaper. Also, it absorbs moisture and releases it again, which is good for the indoor humidity.
Timber frame construction or solid is almost irrelevant, although we would prefer to work solid with regional companies. The total costs including the land should actually stay at 290,000€. After all, you still have to buy one thing or another later, such as a sofa, etc.
I am very much looking forward to your answers!
