What you absolutely must also consider – you wrote
"Living on 129.5 sqm with deductions for sloping ceilings, so 170-180 sqm)"
and
"Our idea: 130 sqm living space with 4 rooms + living room + kitchen/bathroom and guest WC with shower and utility room without basement"
Mentally subtract the sloping ceilings completely from your apartment. Now you don’t just need the hallway once (ground floor) but twice (ground floor and upper floor). 5 to 8 sqm of the 130 in the house are gone. So far, you have the utility room outside the apartment. Another 7 to 10 sqm that are missing from the house floor plan. You might already have a guest WC but now with an extra shower. You probably currently also have a basement room for storage, which means some extra sqm as well. That quickly amounts to 20 sqm missing, maybe even 30!
Compared to the apartment, effectively only 100 to 110 sqm remain in the house. Does the current apartment already have 4 bedrooms? If not, you will also need space for the 4th bedroom... so be honest: would your apartment with 4 bedrooms, without sloping ceilings and 20 to 30 sqm less still "work"?
That would be a massive deterioration in living situation with a 130 sqm house – except hopefully it won’t leak inside anymore.
Conclusion: Comparable would be 150 to 160 sqm in the house compared to the 130 sqm apartment. That is roughly 50,000 EUR more than for 130 sqm…
I meant 130 sqm. I didn’t think about the sloping ceilings. So corrected: 130 sqm according to the living space regulation. Thank you.
But yes. Our current apartment is way too big for us. We have 2 completely unused rooms :-/ hence the consideration. But it was just a thought. I’m not into rooms, just square meters. And a nice living room. But the model homes are certainly good for that. They give us a feeling for the size.
We visited a house with 108 sqm (Bien-Zenker from 2013) that would have been enough if number 3 were not planned. That’s how I get to 130 sqm.
Thanks for the hint, I will definitely pay attention to the size on Saturday.
