Third child) How is the age gap arranged – if a third child comes now, isn’t it possible that the first child is already in their student apartment when the second and third child demand separate rooms?
Major renovation) The renovation here would be quite extensive, also in terms of costs not far from a new build of the same room volume on already paid-for land. However, with a building structure unattractive by current standards, meaning that compared to the existing building, the market value of the entire property will not increase even remotely by these construction costs. This house will have to remain in the family due to lack of demand, or (even in inheritance disputes) will only change owners for next to nothing. In the worst case, long before the renovation is paid off.
When you are in the planning situation and the family’s pre-drawn thought patterns, this renovation seems logical. My spontaneous impression as an outsider was already in the floor plan that the extension creates a changed dominant ridge direction, and with it a house that can be recognized from a mile away as renovated against the wind. The sectional representation increases this by one dimension: even using only the finest materials, you can’t make this building compatible with foreign tastes.
The suggestion
I’m throwing Plan D into the ring: You buy a small condominium for your parents-in-law and use the huge house for yourselves. You have to detach emotionally a little; in the long run, it causes stomach ulcers.
has my fullest approval.
Is there perhaps still room for a bungalow as a retirement house in the garden? – more and more communities are recognizing the opportunities of densified development within existing structures.
