Is the construction description for the apartment with floors okay as it is?

Thank you for the assessment. The floor is getting more expensive, we want to have tiles laid that look like wood. Good point about the sockets and we also have to think about the [Hausautomatisierung] that we want to use.

I don’t see anything wild at first either. 40€ for tiles is okay, but absolutely not generous. 80€ for parquet including installation is a bit of a gamble as long as you don’t know what is being charged for the installation and preparation. Let’s assume 20-30€/sqm, then you only have a budget of 50-60€ left. I would definitely not underestimate power outlets in the kitchen, we have 9 available (after a year I can also say that fits very well with our kitchen layout), 1 for the work lighting (behind the cabinet and switchable), and then of course fridge, dishwasher, oven, steam cooker, stove. At this point, the individually protected connections for the major appliances are also missing for me. Especially the induction stove needs significantly more than a regular Schuko socket can provide.

Oh, so you just wanted to know whether you are getting value for your money or cheap crap? – in that sense, we can reassure you: the description reads average, without any wow or ouch. Plain like a thousand others. Absolutely nothing is missing in the sense that there is no standard about what (at minimum) must be described and how exactly – therefore, there is no clear completeness benchmark. Whether and what relatively is missing, only you can judge, the standard for that is your expectations. However, this will inevitably require you to engage with the topic. What do you actually understand about condominiums: are you aware of a homeowners’ association as well as common property, usage rights, monthly fees, and so on? Maybe after all: The question is what you are even allowed to decide here. Worst case, only a selection from the developer’s sample palette. It is also important: what you can procure today, don’t postpone until tomorrow. This means: before signing the purchase contract, you negotiate confidently with the developer. Once the building is completed and handed over, everything is connected to the property, and for interventions in the building’s substance you ask the owners’ assembly. Many condominium newbies naively believe a flat can be bought like a house, then they have free disposal over it, and with the one-time purchase price everything is done. Not at all. You do not buy an apartment but a special right of use; the homeowners’ association must be managed and that costs money (and is apportioned as you know it from being a tenant).

We have already dealt with the residential property community as well as the common property, usage rights, service charges, and so on, including the costs they cause. I also want to look at the partition declaration regarding the garden and the special usage rights. Because everything I negotiate and fix with the developer I do not have to discuss with the others later. The issue of the floor has been discussed and will be fixed in writing. We will get tiles from wherever we want and he will commission the tiler. The costs will then be offset against the €8,000 for the parquet.

Do you have a garden share that you are explicitly allowed to use? That would of course be a nice thing :)

I have read through the topic Multimedia. You get your internet connection in the hallway. In a Multimedia distributor or nailed to the wall?

There should be a preparation for an „Internetanschluss“ in the rooms, but implementation unknown? You have to do the cable laying and network socket connection yourself or commission it additionally.
