KfW BEG funding stopped 261, 262, 263, 264, 461, 463, 464

Isn't that generally the case with new construction subsidies?

I consider the thesis that the now abolished KfW new construction subsidy with a broad brush basically reached significantly wealthier people than the KfW subsidy for renovation measures to be extremely bold. Here in the area, buying an existing property plus renovation is somewhat more expensive than new construction. The problem is securing a plot of land, and that often only works with young children through municipal allocations. And some KfW measures are used by wealthy retirees; I bet the share of renovation grants without loans is significantly higher than in new construction. Nevertheless, renovation is far more effective for CO2 savings than new construction. And that was the argument for the de facto abolition of any new construction subsidy for the broad masses.

Just now, an article from the Schwäbische Zeitung about the suspensive condition popped up on my phone ("The broken dream of the Schwörerhaus prefabricated house"). Apparently, with Schwörerhaus alone, about 300 builders are affected whose contracts are now void due to the halt/restructuring of the KfW subsidy.

That was exactly to be feared... If already at Schwörerhaus, without much fuss (so far), 150 builders have had to let their dream collapse, I don't even want to know how many are affected in total throughout Germany.

That is exactly the kind of reports I had hoped for before April 20th, but unfortunately, no editorial office was interested, and now that the damage is already done, the lust for sensation comes to light. I'm curious how many of the approximately 20 editorial offices I contacted will still write such reports, but not to help, rather to benefit from it...

And why all this? Because a minister simply didn’t think things through to the end...

And why all this? Because a minister simply did not think it through...

Aha, you can only mean ex-minister Altmair, right? Because Habeck did exactly that, thoroughly considered the consequences and the extent of the flood of funding applications. And acted accordingly.

Your response took much longer than I thought ;).

I actually don't want to respond to that, but yes, that very Habeck has "acted accordingly," just completely brainless and not thought through at all... And that's exactly what he is doing again right now without thinking about what dependencies he is putting us in with his oh-so-great ideas... But as I said, I don't want to digress...

For me, this person is the last thing Germany or even the whole world needed!

In this case, I also actually see the fault with the ministry under Altmaier. I already criticized the change from project start to contract conclusion here 1.5 years ago as a nasty trap for builders, and putting the entire contract under reservation was patchwork that assumes everything will always stay as it is. Yes, the new Ministry of Economics did not act ideally when the funding was stopped and certainly did not have the suspensive condition on the radar during the short-term new regulation. It also took a very long time here in the forum until someone noticed the problem (or everyone kept quiet).

At this point, I would only limitedly blame Schwörerhaus as the article does (the Schwäbische Zeitung is the regional paper where I grew up and is notorious for its extensive and precise research...). They cannot build economically with the old price, so it is completely understandable that they make the new contract at an economic price.
