Selling new construction after receiving funding / Wohnriester - possible?

It somehow makes it easier to "have the reins in your hands" again when you at least consider this possibility. It takes away a bit of the feeling of being at the mercy of things.

Very well explained! It is always a better feeling to be aware of your options. Those who exclude too much narrow themselves down. The supreme discipline of free choice is the self-determination of one’s own stance. Warning – quirky idea: We could also collect ideas in the forum, found a cooperative for the disposal of noisy neighbors, buy your neighbor’s house and rent it out to quiet tenants. Maybe other nice people also have neighbors whom they could persuade to sell their house with a lucrative offer. It wouldn't be optimized for return (high purchase price), but could still be calculated as a model.

What’s going on with you guys? Can one find out or is there a thread about this? Moved in since October and already having such thoughts? :-( You hardly had time to enjoy the house :-(

Fingers crossed that everything goes well.

It has come up before in various other threads. We’re in a new development area, the neighbors on one side are relatively close to us, have a liking for loud music in their own garden, and we have a liking for our peace and quiet. Long story short. The people are actually quite okay, it’s just that a somewhat very liberal idea of “room volume” clashes with my very sensitive nature when it comes to music. Many noises don’t bother me, but music imposed on me from outside causes me great distress. We now want to see how far we can get through interpersonal conversation – but not in passing, rather when we can sit together calmly over a beer/coffee. Whether we can find a compromise there. Basically, they are willing to talk. But if we don’t reach a common ground, I would rather consider moving than fighting it out with an expert, lawyer, and court. Because however this may end, I doubt you feel more comfortable at home if you have started a neighborhood war. So if we were to reorient ourselves, I would admit for myself that peace and quiet apparently enjoys top priority in my living situation – something I have actually known for years and where maybe I approached this building project a bit too naively – and then only something completely standalone with a large plot around would be an option. A beautiful old farmhouse could really please me. But such things are also not exactly common, so the right opportunity would have to come up first. Also, many things about our current home are absolutely perfect. For example, whether I would find a detached farmhouse with fiber optic available… puh.

Weren't you pregnant or did you have a newborn child? My wife was also sensitive to loud noises at that time, especially with the first child. And if the baby woke up then, oh dear oh dear.

No, mine is now a toddler. But I was already quickly annoyed by music I had to hear through walls / from others about 10 years ago or so. There was no child in sight then. I just can't block out the rhythm of music in my brain. I also know many of my buddies who play shooter games and listen to music while doing so. I couldn't do that. As soon as a match starts, the music in the background has to be off, otherwise I can't concentrate. It's even more extreme with relaxing. If a rhythm can be heard somewhere, I hear it consciously, and if I have no way to escape it, it annoys me extremely. That also makes everyday life very externally controlled. I built a detached house in the hope of being able to live independently. But now I feel that I can't, for example, take a bath whenever I want, because I can only bathe in peace when the neighbor is not in the garden.

Nothing against you, but what kind of generation are we? Absolutely spoiled and incapable of compromise. Everything has to be the way I want it. Always. No restrictions. Theoretically having all options available. Always wanting to be able to bathe - which you btw. can. I act that way sometimes too, but I try hard to unlearn it, such behavior is embarrassing in the bigger context.

It’s not about music, it’s about that this individual forces you to listen to it. Especially in such a cramped chicken coop like Germany, you will have to get used to others restricting you. It’s no different in other situations either - the boss orders overtime, the ice cream truck comes by with loud music, the junk car isn’t silent either.

Get your priorities straight!

With the Wohn-Riester, you have two years to acquire a new property after the originally subsidized one has been sold. Otherwise, you have to repay the allowances. It is also not acceptable that you are never allowed to move again... That would be totally unrealistic. But you have to be back in ownership.
