Costs for our house construction

The real estate transfer tax will be increased, I think to 5.5%

Yes, the real estate transfer tax in NRW will be increased from the current 3.5% to 5% as of 01.10.2011.

Kind regards

A question by the way:

Is real estate transfer tax also due in the case of a gift of the property from the parents to the daughter (my wife)?

Hello,

Is the real estate transfer tax also due on a gift of the property from the parents to the daughter (my wife)?

No, for your wife it depends on the monetary value (i.e. the value of the property) of the gift... otherwise inheritance tax is due

Kind regards

Hello!

Now I have another question. At the moment, we are at the stage that we will indeed decide on a solid construction (at least quite certain). We are allowed to build 12x12, and we want to take advantage of that. However, we unfortunately had to find out that we are only allowed to build 4.5m high. Actually, we had thought of 2 floors – a kind of townhouse with a hipped roof. But that would be at 6m. What options do we have now? Only a gable roof (which would also be okay), but are there other alternatives?

Hello Kati27 (actually, you should already be Kati28, right? ) How's it going and what have you been doing over the year while time has flown by here. Why did it end up not being a prefab house after all (which I really appreciate!). Best regards from Bavaria Tom

Hello Tom,

not much time has passed yet, I have only been registered in the forum for almost 2 months. We bought the plot of land before 1.10. Now we are still looking for a suitable builder

Unfortunately, that is more difficult than I thought. Either way too expensive or I have a bad feeling. But we are already close and I hope that we can start building this year

Actually, I thought a prefabricated house would be cheaper, so we initially decided on that. But since that is not the case and the construction time is the same, we now want to build solidly.

If only we could finally find a company.....
