Hello dear forum, we registered today to be able to exchange ideas.
Financing is secured, the plot is bought, the house is planned so far and hopefully it will start in summer.
At the moment we are overcome by an uneasy feeling that perhaps we have forgotten or not considered things etc., which are important...
Regarding the timeline:
In April, the contract for the house and the building notification are to be signed.
From July, the plot is released (new development area).
We contacted Telekom and sent the necessary documents today.
This brings us to a major uncertainty factor. The development... no one (neither the municipality nor the construction manager) informed us about the development, costs, schedules, etc.
After an appointment at the building authority, we now know that we have to take care of the connections from the plot boundary to the house entirely by ourselves.
We are totally uninformed about this and no one can really tell us anything precise. One says "you have to clarify that with so and so" - another says "oh you first have to apply for this and that," etc., etc.
Can someone explain simply how the entire development process ultimately works?
We want to ask the construction manager if he could do the civil engineering for the 4 meters from the street to the house for us. That surely saves costs compared to a separately commissioned company.
But at what point in the construction phase does the development actually take place?
Of course, we will still ask the construction manager about all this, but it's not wrong to acquire information and knowledge beforehand ;)
Are there any other important things one definitely has to consider?
The plot is fully settled (purchase price paid, land register and land charge entered, tax office paid).
Only the soil survey is missing.
Are there any hidden costs that one might not consider due to the enthusiasm or simply does not know?
Maybe someone has time and feels like answering a few questions :) we would be happy
Best regards
