I commented 4 posts above yours on a similar question, but I will try to explain more thoroughly how I come to my opinion (sorry if I’m not writing very clearly, I have a weather-related foggy brain today :rolleyes: )
So, the press statement from Habeck was linked here (since deleted) and I also watched his statement on the morning show.
I tried to put that into the current context.
- the affected applications that were still pending were by a large majority KfW-55 applications for new builds (only 700 out of 24,000 were renovations and it wasn’t even clear which standard those referred to)
- accordingly, the press mainly focused on this group (new builds 55 standard)
- in Der Spiegel it was said that Habeck would have liked to continue approving renovations and KfW40, and for the received entries KfW 55 new builds he favored a hardship regulation
In his statement now, he says that this hardship regulation was legally not possible. Therefore, all applications for 55 new builds that were received by the 23rd will receive funding if the application was correct. From 24.01. on, applications for KfW 55 will only be possible for renovations, but not for new builds. There, KfW 40 at minimum applies and only limited.
In my opinion, however, he did not say in reverse that KfW55 is the minimum for renovations.
Since he also tried in his statements to give reasons for the decisions and procedures, I don’t believe that he just casually reduced funding for renovations at e.g. KfW 85 without any further explanation.
Renovations were only mentioned in my view to clarify that KfW 55 funding will only apply to renovations and no longer to new builds.
What is clear to me: if you want funding under the current program, I wouldn’t wait much longer. Unless you switch to individual measures. Or programs of the federal states or municipalities. It might be worth a look.
Somewhere in the depths of this thread there was also talk of what future funding could look like. More renovations and possibly less rigid than before. But so far there are no concrete statements on this.
