New single-family house or core renovation of a house built in 1978

whether we should build new or carry out a core renovation of my girlfriend's inherited parental home.

Does the floor plan suit you or can it be made to fit relatively easily?

We had set a budget of about 200,000 - 250,000? But everything should really be included in this.

What does everything mean? If you leave the basement as it is (no living space), and you want to do everything from the external thermal insulation composite system (ETICS) through heating + underfloor heating, decentralized ventilation system, windows, electrical, sanitary, insulation of basement ceiling, insulation of roof + new covering, new interior doors up to the floor coverings, but no major structural alterations are necessary, then your budget is enough for a fancy Porsche and a really great house. However, you have to get deeply involved with the work. Get an energy consultant involved (50% funded by the KfW) and renovate directly to KfW 55 – there are then 40% grants or a nice loan with a repayment subsidy.

So the floor plan fits perfectly for us; we would not change anything about the floor plan but adopt it 1 to 1 because the property was built very generously for its time. Very large entrance hall over 2 floors, open kitchen, very large window fronts along the entire side of the living room and the entrance hall, etc. The garden is also very well maintained. Therefore, no structural adjustments or similar need to be made.

But otherwise, we would like to redo everything completely. It should be new-build standard inside if possible. If a conversion to new-build standard is even possible for a house from 1978 - 1980?

Unfortunately, I do not have floor plans or photos available at the moment as the inheritance happened more or less overnight, and I first wanted to request a rough feasibility study here.

Here I found something comparable to how we would imagine the renovation. Both are still quite young, 27 and 28 years old, and have not yet dealt with house construction or renovation in detail or at all. With sufficient financial means, a lot seems possible nowadays. In the aforementioned example, I would never guess that this house was built in the 60s. After the renovation, it looks like a new build to me as a layperson. But a renovation like the one above is certainly not cheap.

A conversion to new build standards is possible. We are currently doing this with a 60s house. However, there are a few important things: Are the rooms high enough for underfloor heating? There are retrofit systems that only require a few centimeters. Where can pipes for a [controlled residential ventilation] be laid? What all needs to be new: windows, front door, basement ceiling insulation, facade insulation, roof insulation, electrical systems...

With a gut renovation, the question is whether you like the house as it is. If not, it makes no sense to invest a lot of money into it. Apart from that, 200-250k€ is quite unrealistic, unless you want to do everything yourself. Assuming that a few outdoor areas also need to be done, especially after the construction crews have torn everything apart, I would roughly say: 30k€ gutting 250k-300k€ renovation 50k€ outdoor areas 30-50k€ miscellaneous (from contractors to architect and kitchen...) Total approx. 400k€

But otherwise we would just like to do everything completely new. If possible, it should meet new build standards inside. If a conversion to new build standard is even possible for a house from 1978 - 1980?

I have just started renovating a two-family house from the late 60s. Yes, new build standard is possible - for me with KfW 55 (nothing better is subsidized).

30k€ gutting 250k-300k€ renovation 50k€ outdoor facilities 30-50k€ miscellaneous (from KN to architect and kitchen...) Total approx. 400k€
