Great, it will work out. And always remember that in the end you will live in a lovely house in a great location in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. That makes up for the hassle. I bet there are plenty of people who would gladly trade with you despite the trouble and costs.
Thanks Pinkiponk. I doubt that, since it’s only a small house. About 150 m2 in total for 5 people but spread over 3 levels! And no one wants THAT hassle. It’s unclear whether the basement can be sufficiently renovated/sealed at all...
But somewhere outside the city was not an option, since the plot was there and I don’t have a driver’s license. And the children all have every opportunity in terms of education.
