Hello everyone, I am new here in the forum and warmly greet the community. So I will start from the beginning. I bought a mid-terrace house in 51105 Cologne, built around 1900, with the dimensions 6.15m wide and 11.50m deep, and the plot 6.15m wide and 22m deep. 2 floors plus an attic, unfortunately the attic is only 2 meters high. Since it is a very old house and almost nothing has been done over the years, it looks accordingly. Originally, I wanted to have it completely refurbished, from top to bottom..!! However, the carpenter who wanted to build me a new roof structure said that a building permit etc. is required and advised me to demolish the thing and build a new one in principle, just like the other craftsmen who saw it did as well.. Ultimately, I have now come to the conclusion and now plan demolition and rebuilding.. At an info day (building authority Cologne) the employee told me that I can build as high as the neighbor!! That means my right neighbor has a mid-terrace house of the same height and the left neighbor house is a multi-family house (3 floors + attic with residential units). So, in principle, I may build that high!! That means one more floor for me. I want to use the first two floors myself (maisonette apartment), and I would then like to rent out the third floor as well as the attic. But I have no experience at all and do not know exactly what I have to do except get a permit.. I look forward to your valuable tips.
