Commitment to the property and what comes next

What can the prefab house do about that?

I have experience with extreme hangover uh slope situations.

Step 1 - you need a soil survey
if the result of step 1 is not a total defeat, then comes -

Step 2 - you find someone who is willing to plan something suitable and functional there.
You won’t find someone like that in the model home park. Someone who looks at the challenges before the contract is awarded. Best not to sign a purchase contract for the land until then. The result of step 2 is a first realistic cost estimate.

Step 3 - making compromises

and so on.

Even if in times of SameDayDelivery you’re immediately drawn to the model home wonderland ... that’s more like step 4 or 5.

For 250,000 EUR at this slope, at best you get a tiny house.

just my 2 cents

For 250,000 EUR at best you get a tiny house on this slope.

For the asking price, in this case you definitely don’t get a "house", but only "the part of a house from the OKKD." So we’re talking about a price indication that makes no sense considering the topography of the building plot. It is effectively not about "260 TEUR plus incidental costs," but about "260 TEUR plus c plus incidental costs." I recommend the OP take a look at and where a steep slope also complicates using an "off-the-shelf" solution (or a single basement floor gets seriously strained underpinning the house). I see "c" here clearly exceeding a fraction of the house promotional price.

Good morning,

thank you very much for your feedback. We have an appointment next week at the Schwörerhaus main office for a viewing etc. I will bring the questions from here with me there.

We definitely want to have a soil survey carried out before purchase.

...is just my personal opinion. It is nice to look at houses. But in my opinion, it is now time to find out what kind of house fits on the building plot, and for that you need a soil survey and someone who develops an idea from it. Many people can then put a house on top...

Do you have a build obligation on the property?

If not, then I would buy the property now, save for a few more years, then the inheritance will also come closer, spend that time comfortably and without time pressure to get informed, and then embark on the adventure of building a house.

When we started, we first flirted with offers for houses that we found quite acceptable. They would have gone for 300K euros in the catalog. In reality, you end up somewhere completely different.

12 sockets in the living room? I once calculated, we have 14 and in some places it's tight; and we partially have sockets with extra USB slots, so we don’t need a socket for charging our tablets/phones. You underestimate that! In the standard construction service descriptions there are ALWAYS too few sockets, everyone focuses on that (and I can only recommend it to everyone!) and that quickly gets really expensive.
Most people today no longer want a 90x90 shower tray but prefer a walk-in shower – but that is certainly not included in the normal construction service description -> costs extra!
What heating concept? Etc. etc. etc.

All things that you don’t worry about in the beginning but that are important.

So if you have the flexibility to postpone the build, then do it!

The standard construction service descriptions ALWAYS have too few sockets, everyone should keep an eye on that (and I can really recommend that to everyone!) and that quickly gets quite expensive.

That's exactly how it is. Please get rid of this price right away so you can plan realistically.

The standard in the construction and service description is really so "standard" that no one wants it – at least not in many things. If you want to live in this house, it is actually comparable to a Fiat Panda in standard equipment – there is really NOTHING included... And believe me, you have to "upgrade" your house – otherwise you simply can't feel comfortable. Prefabricated houses sometimes have an even lower standard than regional solid builders (that's because they want to lure you with cheap prices, but the construction and service description is really a complete disaster).

Just so you get a feeling for all the things you can/must/should/want to upgrade:

- Sanitary equipment → if you only want something reasonably good there (you're really not even in the mid-range segment yet), you'll easily be 5,000€ more away.
- Interior stairs → you can burn money there :D – so you can easily get an additional cost of 3,000€.
- Interior doors → The standard will blow you away :D
- Floor coverings → The prices are sometimes so low in the construction and service descriptions that no one would ever find a tile they actually want to install :D
- Electrical planning → interior hot spots, exterior lighting, sockets, additional switches etc... never enough in the construction and service description
- Front door → easily 1,000-2,000€
- Windows → if you don't want the cheapest white plastic windows but maybe colored (not foil-wrapped but with aluminum shells or similar) you are quickly 5,000€ away
- Exterior house painting with color → 1,000€
- Special equipment like fireplace, garage, ventilation system, photovoltaics, and so on... You'll be several tens of thousands of euros away if you consider these
- "Little things" like burglary protection for windows, electric shutters, heating filling block, changes to the floor plan, flush-mounted boxes, satellite system, window sills, ...

These are just things that came to mind spontaneously, and we didn't have to think about it as much as you do because our standard with the regional solid builder is already relatively high, which also means a higher initial offer price.

These are just the sampling upgrades... You will see that many costs that you haven't even listed in your incidental construction costs won't be offered by the general contractor and are therefore construction-side services... You will then see this in the construction and service description.
