Hello dear ones out "there",
we have now been carrying the wish for a home of our own for 4 years.
New build - old building / yes or no? Many viewings, fairs, show homes, etc. tomorrow we have an appointment to view an old building in my husband’s home village.
His parents knew the owners and went to school with their children.
Statement: very fine people :)
(The daughter is selling the property - she is actually a real estate agent but takes no commission)
We are very cautious, careful "beings" who think things through very thoroughly.
Now first the information about the house:
Year built 1983
Living area 140 sqm
Plot size 2500 sqm fully fenced with old trees right next to the forest
fully basemented
Garage, wash house, and two smaller outbuildings/sheds on the property
Driveway paved, rest well-maintained green area
heated with coal (!!!!!!!)
occupied until 12/2015
What we obviously still need to do:
Necessary:
new heating
new windows/doors
new roof - preferably a "roof conversion" (dormer or full additional storey)
new bathrooms (guest WC and family bathroom)
new kitchen
new floors
move walls/drywall construction
Wishes:
and if one may dream, a possible extension depending on the financing scope
and (since the house stands relatively high) a fill so that one can walk from the living room onto a terrace into the garden (so far the garden can only be accessed from the front or via the basement)
PURCHASE PRICE:
Plot including house 57,000 euros negotiable basis
We have already contacted an architect. We hope for precise planning and cost calculation from him.
We have several trades in the family (sanitary, heating, tiler, stove fitter, etc.) so a lot will be done by ourselves or the purchase price of materials will be lower.
We have already informed ourselves about funding possibilities – there are quite a few. ;-)
Why I am writing here...
We need THE insider tips. :) What must absolutely be considered??? What would you have liked to have known beforehand as experienced people?
And can you estimate what additional costs will come financially? In other words, what loan amount would you take out? I understand that this depends on many other things – I just want to get an overview! Are we naive to think that we can get by with a total of 180,000-200,000 euros??
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Many kind regards
