Thank you for your response.

I will definitely go to local craftsmen. Possibly also to an interior designer.

However, I find it difficult to properly assess offers. Is this good or not?! Is the craftsman good/reliable or not?!

As I said, I have clear ideas and already know exactly what I want in my mind. It should all go in the direction of square/practical/good. Nothing extravagant.

Best regards

Ask around for recommendations among your friends and acquaintances. Also ask the craftsmen you talk to for recommendations. Craftsmen can often quite well evaluate the quality of the trades they come into contact with.

That is a good tip!

Thank you .

Again on the topic of interior designer. Does this make sense here? The problem is that I have to work a lot and am usually not there from 6 AM to 8 PM and also not always reachable for everyone.

If necessary, I could also take out a loan. But really only if there is no other way. I actually wanted to manage everything without a bank.

If it helps, I can also upload floor plans later.

I had the same problem, only my conditions were probably somewhat better. My house dates from the 1980s and already has thermal insulation as well as a ventilated facing brick facade. Therefore, I limited myself to the critical weak points (radiator niches and roller shutter boxes) and insulated them accordingly; if necessary, one could later consider blown-in insulation between the masonry and the bricks. However, the cost/benefit factor is still unclear to me, especially since it would only be 4-5 cm. I already had a condensing boiler in the house and underfloor heating in most rooms. Radiators are additionally installed, but I hardly use them and they have a separate control circuit. Therefore, I will first monitor consumption over a few years to have concrete values for calculations. Your house is from the 1950s; I suspect that facade insulation is probably not present. Therefore, I might consider it again. For me, the problem was that the brick facade makes renovation rather more complex. But if you have a plaster facade, it might be worth it.

Thanks for your answer!

Currently, insulation is only under the roof, I believe it was done in '05? The insulation consists of this yellow rock wool.

The exterior facade has no insulation. Everything is plastered.

Are there approximate prices for insulation per sqm? These are all relatively large areas in one piece without much fiddling.

I cannot answer that question because I have not dealt with it. But I am sure there are some here who have already done such a renovation.
