Hello dear ones,
I am completely new here and already find this forum great.
A short introduction about us. My husband and I have been living in a big city for a few years and have been dreaming of owning a house for a long time. Since we are not exactly high earners, sooner or later we will have to move somewhere outside.
Now we have found a (cheap) plot of land with an old house on it (401 m2). We would then tear this down. Costs for this: 10,000 € (a friend of my husband would do it and also dispose of everything).
We would build the house with Ytong, as you can save a lot through self-labor there. My husband is a carpenter and we also have many tradespeople in our circle of friends.
Now my questions:
1) What do I have to pay attention to when buying a plot of land?
2) How much can you save through self-labor? The house should cost about 124,000 euros turnkey. But we want/can pay at most 90 - 100,000 €.
Could we actually save about 30,000 €?
Attached is the plot of land again. I would appreciate opinions.
