You can comfortably finance €450,000 at 3.5% interest and 1.5% repayment with about €2,100 monthly.

What would, for example, speak against a Danwood Park 168W? That costs turnkey about €330,000. We then add another €120,000 in additional costs and there would be no more space problems, right?

Yes, that would of course be great. Now we just have to find a suitable plot of land for +/- €350k :)

I always have to smile when Town & Country as a cheap provider is out in the first round and it then ends up with Danwood, a Polish manufacturer.

I always have to smile when Town & Country, as a cheap provider, is knocked out in the first round and it ultimately comes down to Danwood, a Polish manufacturer.

Do you think Germans work at Weberhaus and others? Do you think the Poles can't just nail wood together?

Yes, yes, of course they can. I just always have to smile when people advise against cheap German providers who sell standard floor plans in series and are therefore cheap... and in the end you end up with the Polish company.

And for my part, I can assure you... except for the screed, only craftsmen from the region worked on my Town & Country place, within a 50 km radius. I talked to each of them, so I know that. I just couldn't talk to the screed layers, the conversation was limited to "Enter? 3 days, good!" And this species also left a few windows tilted open... beginning of November, with fresh cement screed... so...

Man, please put 10 EUR into the prejudice piggy bank. My real Eberswalde bricklayers left the worst botched work of all the trades involved. The plasterer from the Havel used the wrong sealing slurry at the base. The electrician from Köpenick installed a socket without a counterpart in the box, did not stick to agreements, and wanted to charge me items that should have been charged to the general contractor. The original Lichtenberg plumber had a diva-like farewell after I asked him a few too precise questions about the design (at the neighbor’s place, they only managed to properly install the heat pump after two years; it wasn’t in the water). My then self-chosen plumbers from the immediate neighborhood swapped the cold and hot water connections in the guest shower and forgot to open a valve for the hot water, which led to a service call from the manufacturer – at least that was finally taken on their own account. The roofer from near Fürstenwalde basically had a Pole do the roofing, who did good work, although a single board of the roof underside was only glazed after a year. Anyone can botch work, no matter where they were born. I think the only trade that really had no mistakes was the staircase builder with a sales office in Berlin and Polish craftsmen.
