A basement would actually be important to me. Preferably also with a hobby room. That’s the only luxury I would allow myself. Can I get that with 50K in addition to the approx. 2000€ per sqm of living space? There is a slight slope of about 1m along the length of the house (as I would place it). You could then let the basement windows look out of the ground to let some light in. Otherwise, the house is not planned in much detail yet, haven’t been to any company yet. Brick by brick, gable roof, without many frills, practical floor plan, downstairs living area, kitchen, toilet, storage room. Upstairs parents’ bedroom, 2 children’s rooms, bathroom. Ideally somewhere a home office as well. OK, furnishing might be tight, but we already have some things. Is a spacious garage with space for a car and bicycles for 20K realistic? I’d prefer gas, but that’s not available, so it will probably have to be a heat pump, whether we like it or not. We went to our house banks some time ago when we started looking, and they promised us an even higher budget. That was before our son, when we said we planned to have children. It wasn’t as concrete as now, with the first child here. We probably should also go to a broker.
