Hello everyone,
my wife, my daughter, and I wish for our own home (single-family house). A second child may possibly follow. The whole thing should be built in the postal code area 77XXX. Since I have a quite time-consuming job and am also not exactly skilled in handiwork, I want to have the whole thing delivered as move-in ready as possible, without much coordination effort. What is the best way to do this?
Our requirements:
- 5 rooms with two shower bathrooms (children’s bathroom)
- Especially the current summer has shown that I do not want to build a house without cooling. I am open regarding the cooling concept but have heard good things about heat pumps including cooling function + photovoltaic system. What sensible variants are there? Underfloor heating / wall heating / ceiling cooling?
- Complicated/individual ground floor layout because integration of a cinema (my hobby) into the living room is desired. Collaboration with the cinema builder is also required for this; if anyone has experience on how to do this, I would also be grateful for tips.
- Lighting and blinds smart. The question arises whether to use a retrofit solution (Philips Hue) or a bus system like KNX and home automation like RTI or Control4?
- There are no requirements regarding the appearance of the house; I would also accept a shed roof for complete photovoltaic facing south and build the rest simply square and practical.
- Avoid sloping ceilings on the upper floor, which also speaks for a shed roof or hip roof (city villa).
How should all this be financed?
He: net 5500 € tending to increase
She: net 800 € (we do not count on this, as a second child could be expected)
Equity: 30,000 € saved in one year. In the next few years, there might also be an inheritance of 250,000 €. I would consider snapping up a suitable plot of land now without much equity and then use the remaining money/inheritance for special repayments. How do you see that?
Best regards!
