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

I had edited my post again... I can't say why, but I believe it’s clear to everyone by now that everyone is struggling with rising prices (our contract is also from before that). Even if it doesn’t immediately lead to losses, it’s a mystery to me why people accept lower profits when the solution is right there on the table. We highly appreciate this approach towards our homebuilder, but we don’t want to praise it too much yet since the house is far from finished and our fixed-price guarantee will already expire before the house is completed. However, here we only have to reckon with contractually fixed 2% (albeit per quarter, but it shouldn’t take that long).

Isn’t the fixed-price guarantee set from groundbreaking? That’s how I understand it. For example, if there is a 12-month fixed-price guarantee and construction starts in the 11th month, the fixed-price guarantee is fixed.

If the profit margin is high, they still don’t give anything back to the customer. So I am of the opinion that they could also be satisfied with less profit once in a while.

Schwörerhaus sometimes offers €30,000 if you don’t build your house with them. That should be enough indication that it’s not just about "a little less profit" but about real losses. I’m not surprised though, since the sales rep wanted to pressure us into signing quickly because prices were increased by 5% at New Year. And then the year brought even more than 5% price increases for timber house builders.

Isn’t the fixed price guarantee valid from the groundbreaking? That’s how I understand it. For example, if a 12-month fixed price guarantee applies and construction starts in the 11th month, the fixed price guarantee is locked in.

As soon as the client has met all the requirements, it should be difficult for a construction company to enforce a higher price purely based on the calendar. After all, they know their construction times and workloads best.

The issue with the groundbreaking is a tricky one, WilderSueden is right, at least in our case it goes as follows. When all conditions have been met, for us that means the basement must be completed, because it does not come from the home builder but is our service. However, the basement can only be planned once the sampling is done, because until then everything on the house can still be changed and shifted. The sampling can only take place once the building permit is approved, because the office may still prohibit certain things. And the building permit could only be submitted late because the architect (also our service, as it was carelessly removed from the house contract) was unfortunately so busy planning all the KfW 55 houses first before he could plan our KfW 40 house. (We submitted the building permit two and a half months ago and only a week ago they actually managed to review it. Due to (pure) arbitrariness, the process now goes back and forth and will drag on further here (it’s exasperating what justification for existence some officials have).) These are all things that ensure the basement can no longer be delivered on time now, unfortunately we cannot change it and simply have to accept this chain of unfortunate circumstances... That’s just how it is, and if someone ever asks me what I would have done differently/should have done differently with my house, all these experiences have greatly contributed to taking a much closer look at the pre-planning... Everything has consequences...

In the magazine from Hamburg, there is an article online today about the draining funding pool. The application amounts have dropped massively. From 20 million per week to two million.
