House purchase from the year of construction 2014 with 118 sqm living area and basement

I think, with a second child in the belly, I would strike. 1. maybe one can still rearrange this or that if finances allow and 2. currently there is no sign of a decline in demand. Interest rates are supposed to stay low as well. So if there really is the prospect of land with a dream house in 2-3 years, then you just sell again if necessary - maybe even more expensive.

We would have preferred the house to be a bit larger, but the cellar somewhat compensates for that.

Surely, the heated cellar might also serve as an office and/or playroom for you, although I don't see that the cellar is generally suitable as a living space. Proper windows for daylight and a second emergency exit are probably missing. (Are there even any windows in the cellar????) But to be honest: you don’t live in the cellar. Personally, the living room would feel too closed off and also too small for me. I find the room uncomfortable because it only gets light from one side (the side window hardly exists) and unfortunately, the windows are centered in the middle. The garden is not designed to be “low-maintenance.” Some money would also need to be invested there, although the internal structure of the location seems quite nice.

By the way, it is the Flair 113.

Exposé: There are still some finishing tasks to do in the outdoor area, as can be seen in the pictures. Likewise, if needed, the flooring work in the cellar is yet to be completed. Someone here pointed out to watch out for potentially botched DIY work: the unfinished flooring in the cellar would be one example. But also the missing entrance platform.

Price/performance can only be assessed in comparison with other properties nearby. Buy it if you can see yourselves living in it. Everyone is different, after all. I don’t get any positive feeling whatsoever when I see the ground floor. You can make something of the garden.

Of course, one could also consider a conservatory. But then the room becomes even darker. I can also well imagine that not much more is allowed to be built on the 500sqm. It still looks like a rural structure and a floor area ratio of 0.2 or even less.

This is being sold due to a death. I see less shoddy workmanship here, but rather that the planned personal contributions would no longer be possible.

It is more about basic DIY work, which is usually not carried out 100% professionally as it should be. So it is about the indication of DIY, and the unfinished flooring is a sign of that.

It is not about the reason for the sale.

did a lot of work himself even though he actually couldn’t (upon closer inspection, you could see this or that that didn’t fit). The whole thing was too risky for us.
Of course, it doesn’t have to be that way, but better look twice and ask who did what before you buy the house and find nasty surprises in a few years.

Plot ratio 0.4, floor area ratio 0.7. Believed to be allowed up to 2m width, max 1/3 roof length of all dormers.

The living room is just as wide as our current one, with the dining room even somewhat larger than at the moment.
