Thank you for your detailed answer.
So I was right that I am obliged, if the seller does not do it beforehand, to renew the heating system or boiler according to the current regulation of the Energy Saving Ordinance (as of 01.05.2015)!
I think the purchase price still needs to be lowered a bit, especially because of a new boiler!
Do you have any idea what such an oil heating system (boiler) at the current efficiency standard would approximately cost for a semi-detached house with just under 130 sqm of living space?
What do you actually think about the price of the semi-detached house?
Without discussing the heating, we verbally agreed on 245,000 euros.
Built in 1972 and located in a sought-after little town.
In 2007 the roof was renewed and insulated with new roof panels, and two years ago there was a renovation (painting) from the outside!
The bathroom was also completely redone two years ago.
So is the price okay or how do you/you all see it?
Best regards
We also bought a semi-detached house.
It is also located in a sought-after place, has roughly the same living space, a bit more land, and was built in 2007. We don’t have to invest anything and paid less.
The price is always a play of supply and demand.
Have a look around to see what similar houses in the area are asking for.
We asked our bank advisor whether the price was more or less accurate. According to our bank, we even got a very good offer. The purchase price and the bank’s assessment were quite close to each other.
