Thank you all for the honest assessments!
P.S. How do you come up with the calculation? Just the material for, for example, 300 sqm of living space floors and/or 1,200 sqm of wall/ceiling surfaces will make your budget for that explode like nothing else.
The figures come from various renovation calculators that I fed with the basic data. Interesting that these estimates are apparently set far too low – the peculiarities of the house are of course not taken into account.
What a pity, actually. Have you already asked your bank?
I consciously do not want to expose us to a higher credit limit; you still have to live. The hint about diminishing marginal utility with such a large area is of course clear to me. Some details like the wall in the swimming pool or the foyer I find extremely great – but of course these can be retrofitted more cheaply in another property.
This is not a market object and never will be again. ... Even a broker only finds such a property suitable, I’d say, for psychological purposes. Forget it.
I actually find it strange that the price is held on so stubbornly, although the house has been online for so long. Apparently, there is no great sales pressure.
Thanks again!
