Hello,
I looked at a plot of land a few days ago, 302 sqm. This plot is being sold "privately," but the construction company of the prefabricated house has a say in it so that probably only they are allowed to build on it (I THINK, IT COULD BE THAT I'M TALKING NONSENSE). The fact is, the plot would cost €90,000 (comparatively very cheap when you see what plots cost here in the Stuttgart area, where you already pay more than €250,000 for just over 100 sqm).
Overall, there is a proposal from the company for a total of €340,000 (WITH land). It would be a prefabricated house with a basement and about 150 sqm of living space. Additionally:
Additional purchase costs (notary and property transfer tax) approx. €6,000,
Additional construction costs (earthworks, house connections, fees, etc.) approx. €28,000 (I personally am calculating another €15,000 here).
The house would be completely finished except for floor coverings and painting work. I would or could also contribute these myself as sweat equity!
The property transfer tax applies only to this part because the seller from the house construction company told me that the plot is purchased SEPARATELY from a private party and only here the GES (tax) must be paid. Is that correct? This is also contractually separated!
So now let’s assume these €340,000 as the "proposal" given + purchase/construction additional costs. The seller (who is also the one who handles the building permits, sketches, etc., the architect—I'll just call him the seller now) said it could be cheaper because I had indicated I want:
A: NO basement
B: 130-135 sqm living space would also be sufficient
Do you think I can get to a total of €300,000 + purchase/additional costs or is that unrealistic?
One thing is certain: we are interested in this building plot, we like the location, etc. On Wednesday, the gentleman would come and discuss exactly what we want with us and make a cost estimate including all costs that would come up. It is clear to me that "what is not in the contract will not be performed." We will get to that later. It's not like we will sign immediately!
I also want to say that we don’t have many wishes regarding the room layout, etc. We have already seen this company’s model houses in standard version and could even imagine adopting one 1:1 without "I want the window there," "I want the stairs there," etc. I understand that with prefabricated houses, if you change something, you have to pay more. However, the seller also told me that a lot is very customizable without additional costs because they have many different variants.
Best regards
