Cost of house demolition

Hello,

I have found a calculator that tells me that a house demolition costs about 20,000 euros. The property to be acquired from 2003 is obviously a major botched construction that would be available for purchase. To negotiate with the current sellers, it would be good for me to know whether hazardous waste could also be involved. With a 150-year-old house, you have to expect that. With a relatively new house as well? The question arises because it is always said that new construction is environmentally friendly. The house has approximately 150 sqm of living space with a basement.

Hello,

it is not possible to say in general what the demolition of a house costs.

Last year we had a house from the 1950s demolished (8 m x 8 m, fully basement, 1.5 stories) and received offers between EUR 10,000.00 and EUR 30,000.00.

Hazardous waste can certainly occur even with a 12-year-old house. As an example, just Styrofoam from the insulation can be mentioned.

If I were you, I would get a quote from two or three demolition companies from your area for the building – then you have something as a basis for negotiations with the seller.

Best regards,

Dirk
