Hello everyone and best regards from the Ludwigsburg area (BaWü) :)
We are currently in the research phase on the topic of a single-family house in the above-mentioned area. And one point in the basic considerations is always the basement...
In our current (mid-terrace) house we have a basement, which I also use extensively with my hobby (milling and lathe machines, etc.). Of course, this was not always easy in the terraced house basement, as everything had to be disassembled and lowered down the stairs, but that is another topic ;)
So, you often read on various blogs, house-building sites, etc. very frequently that houses are often not built with basements at all, but rather a bit larger above ground, i.e., more ground floor instead.
The question of all questions that arises for me here is:
Does this statement even/also make sense in BaWü with square meter prices around 400,-?
At low square meter prices, I can imagine that, but here it seems quite expensive to me to have to buy the (half, due to 2 stories) basement area additionally? That alone is already a hefty amount just for the necessarily larger plot of land, and thus the space is not yet enclosed, roofed, etc., right?
Are there comparative prices per square meter for above-ground living space and underground?
Our desired house size would be about 150 sqm of living space, with ground floor and upper floor with full room height. And whether with or without basement, whichever is cheaper in the end.
Plots of land vary from 200-400 sqm
The basement should also have a residential-like climate (because of the machines and sensitivity to rust). Warmth is not the main criterion, but the associated humidity is. This should be stable and controllable. Does this require a so-called residential basement? I suppose yes. Does that mean a cost explosion as well? What scale are we talking about per sqm? Assuming a level plot
However, later on a large, fully insulated double garage (preferably double depth) is planned anyway, to also move the second hobby workshop located in the neighboring town (about 40 sqm) there.
But that can wait a few years, depending on the financial situation. However, it also needs its place on the plot...
Or does it already make sense to put everything on the ground floor at once and thus bite the bullet when buying the plot?
Please don’t be upset if I stepped into any obvious traps during this first visit, as I often have a sad talent for that :D
Many greetings to all and thanks in advance,
Marc
