Selling new construction after receiving funding / Wohnriester - possible?

Occasionally, yes, but 24/7 rather not (even if you disregard the already prescribed night and midday quiet hours)

This question is strange, as if everything needed a strict framework. How is one supposed to quantify effective consideration? It’s not difficult at all if you know the problem to just shout over the fence or talk to each other differently. Living together is an ongoing, mutually coordinated process. A regulation by times would be a last resort and a matter for negotiation.

It has come up in various other threads before. We are in a new development area, the neighbors on one side are relatively close to us, have a fondness for loud music in their own garden, and we have a fondness for our peace and quiet. Long story short. The people are actually quite okay, it’s just that a somewhat very liberal interpretation of "room volume" meets my very sensitive nature when it comes to music. Many noises don’t bother me, but music forced on me from outside causes me great distress. We now want to see how far we can get in interpersonal conversation – but not in passing, rather when we can calmly sit together over a beer/coffee. Whether we can find a compromise there. Basically, they are willing to talk. But if we can’t reach common ground, then I would rather consider moving away than fighting this out with experts, lawyers, and courts. Because however this might turn out, I doubt you’d feel more comfortable at home if you had started a neighborhood war. So if we were to reorient ourselves, I would accept for myself that peace and quiet clearly holds top priority in my living situation – something I’ve actually known for years and where I may have been somewhat naive with this construction project – and then only something would come into question that stands completely solitary and has a lot of land around it. I could really like a nice old farmhouse. But such things are not exactly common anymore, so the right opportunity would have to arise first. Also, much about our current home is absolutely perfect. Whether, for example, I would find a detached farmhouse with fiber optic connection... phew.

What about some sort of soundproof fence? Is it possible and would it be an option? In our case, something like that probably won’t happen because the whole village is like a community garden. They pay enormous attention to peace and cleanliness. Our property is located on the main street and thus on the sidewalk. We regularly get warnings because it’s not tidy. Recently even a €50 fine. That’s totally okay too, our own fault :-)

Maybe it already helps to simply have the speaker radiate in a different direction or to reduce the bass a bit?

I would expect that you have to pay a speculation tax. I mean the period for owner-occupation is only reached after three years. Have you been living in the house that long? I'm not an expert, it just came to mind when reading your question.

There is no speculation tax, even though it is often claimed. With exclusive owner-occupation, you can sell at any time.

There is no speculation tax even though it is repeatedly claimed. If used exclusively by oneself, one can sell at any time.

It has already been said several times in this thread ;)

: I really feel for you right now, we have a noisy neighbor stomping around above us and my only bright spot is the move into the house in winter... and your neighbor would be my worst nightmare. I feel the same way as you, I myself very rarely listen to music and I can't stand the constant noise from others any more than you can, especially when it's music I don't like... I just can't tune it out and it really makes you sick over time. Unfortunately, many people are different in that regard and always want to listen to music and feel restricted when asked not to have something playing all the time. With a former roommate, headphones were actually the solution because she saw how exhausted the constant noise was making me. She was surprised but somehow could understand that there are people who really need peace to be able to recover. That's why, if I were you, I would really try to have a conversation and be very, very clear about how it affects you, without making accusations (as you can see with Bookstar many find it nice and totally normal in the garden), but ask if they could perhaps move the music listening indoors where you can't hear it in the garden so you both can enjoy your homes. Moving would be my absolute last resort because it’s so hard to find something new and I think that neighbors should always try to consider how things might be for others when they go all out. Nobody would cut wood for 8 hours straight even if they were allowed to, somehow people know that others have different music tastes and that it’s not the same as dogs or children, which are part of normal life. I can't really say anything about your actual question, but I wanted to at least tell you that you’re not the only one who feels this way about music and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that you find a solution!
