Ceiling height increase adds value? Until when is it possible to change the height?

Basically, it is to be viewed positively. A ceiling height of 2.50m in a spacious single-family home with large rooms definitely means a price reduction, as it then does not fit the house (it feels oppressive). In a terraced house, it would be normal.

How high do you estimate the price reduction?

2. Please don’t change so much anymore. You remind me a bit of the robber who, just before the deadline, also adjusted things and then, for example, after the increase, the lintels no longer fit...

Which robber do you mean?

I currently live in a new apartment with a ceiling height of 2.5m. We have an 11m long living and dining area. Personally, the 2.5m does not bother me. But a house of one’s own is something else. There you want to do everything right. Especially regarding the resale value, I find it interesting too. I would be curious what most people build. I could only change it now for a fee. I don’t know if it’s worth it. I’ve already stretched the budget with the general contractor anyway.

I would base it solely on whether I like it or not, but not on the resale value. We decided against it because it would have immediately cost several thousand euros more, as all doors and windows would also have had to be adjusted to achieve a harmonious appearance of the rooms.

A change in ceiling height affects the staircase. Either the staircase length or the rise. It always needs to be examined in detail.

Honestly, I wouldn’t build 2.50m ceiling height anymore today, just like many no longer install 2m doors. 2.65-2.70m on the ground floor is appropriate. Then 2.20m doors.

Actually, I have never read such nonsense. These measurements are absolute special sizes and cannot be found in most single-family houses. A 2.60m ceiling is more than enough and the door is a standard size of 2.11m. But the main thing is to have given your two cents, oh dear.

Good that you are knowledgeable and I am not, even though I accompany a few hundred apartments in construction projects every year... However, I mistyped the door height. 210 is correct (or exactly 211/209.75 as a higher variant or 198.5/197.2). With 270cm ceiling height my clients start, of course depending on the floor structure. I myself have most recently built 267 for myself.
