Is a house for a total volume of 400k still possible at all?

Do you really look at your walls that closely once you’re living in the house?

So far, we have completely plastered 2 rooms ourselves, puttyed and sanded twice, then wallpaper goes on. Both are children’s rooms, so themed wallpaper and the rest of the walls have fine-structured woodchip wallpaper, paint on top, in the end you don’t see anything anymore. And since moving in, I haven’t walked along a wall with a flashlight looking for unevenness.

I think it really depends on personal preferences. But I also talked myself into it beforehand or underestimated what Q2 means. We had it lightly sanded by the painter, then applied structured non-woven wallpaper over it and painted it in color. Depending on the intensity of the wallpaper's texture, you can see more or fewer imperfections. Some of the textured non-wovens are a bit thinner, and I'll put it this way: You don't need a flashlight to see the unevenness there. Everyone has to know beforehand whether they are bothered by something like that or not. It bothers me afterward more than I had imagined beforehand.

What kind of plaster did you have underneath?

We are currently building in the Düsseldorf region (left bank) and trying to aim for 148 sqm living space at 350k for the house including additional construction costs. However, we have relatively uncomplicated soil (about 20k earthworks). We are building with Town & Country. It really depends a lot on the respective license partner. You are not pampered with ours. You have to be quite knowledgeable yourself in some construction-related topics and be able to set the budget yourself. For that, the forum here is a good help. Also, we are extremely disciplined when it comes to additional equipment. That sometimes really hurts. Anyone who has always dreamed of owning a home and has collected design ideas for the bathroom and such over the past years and now finally wants to realize them will not be able to keep to the budget. If you can really hold yourself back up to the pain threshold, you can also land with 50k earthworks at a 400k house price including additional construction costs. But really inform yourself about everything beforehand and don’t let the house seller do the calculations. What do the house connections including earthworks cost? What does the drainage cost? Expect more expensive preliminary laying of the power connection for construction power etc. etc.

Good morning, how is the situation with you here? We now also have an appointment at Town & Country and I wanted to know if you are still satisfied? May I ask which representative you chose (Velbert?). Thanks!
