Purchase decision small semi-detached house 100 sqm from 1930

Concrete roof tiles are currently insanely more expensive because [Tonziegel] are not available at the moment. You should try a metal roof if a [Photovoltaik] system is planned anyway...

Shocked is the right word for it - well, what must be, must be ... I’ll probably have to cut somewhere else, e.g. with the lift-and-slide door :p That’s just how it is, you have to come to terms with it ...

Fortunately, we’re only finalizing our financing at the end of next week because interest rates have just dropped briefly (from the initial offer of 4.25% mixed interest to now 3.81%) - so I can still adjust the financing volume a bit.

Concrete roof tiles are currently seriously more expensive because there are no clay tiles available at the moment. Try metal roofing if a photovoltaic system is planned anyway...

For now, we have given up on photovoltaic systems, just like on the heat pump. It's simply all unaffordable at the moment ... with the hope that maybe everything will settle down a bit in 3-5 years.

Yes, but if you know that sooner or later you want a photovoltaic system, then a metal roof would be an option because the appearance then simply plays a subordinate role.

Get more quotes and think it over carefully. When we bought our house in 2017, the civil engineer estimated 15,000-20,000 for a new roof... the price increases are insane. That's why I would think carefully about what really makes economic sense. In the end, we had our roof insulated from the inside for a fraction of the money.

At least there's €9,000 from the KfW as a subsidy ... but still shocking.
