Hello,
we met with an architect yesterday who showed us a plot of land for a semi-detached house. The other half is already built.
The house has 140 sqm of living space, although a large part of this already includes the basement, as it is habitable (with window).
The house's equipment is supposed to be upscale (I will copy the Immobilienscout listing at the end here).
The architect will be the general contractor and work with local craftsmen.
Additional services such as more sockets, different bathroom fittings, etc., I have to address directly to his respective craftsmen and they will then tell me the costs.
But now first the main questions:
Only a gas heating system with radiators in the rooms is installed.
He said if I want underfloor heating, it will be operated with an air heat pump.
Additional costs for this system + underfloor heating are about €15,000.
That sounded reasonable to me, as I had no idea/had no prior experience. In this forum, some have already balked because they would have to pay €8,000 more.
What do you say about my price?
And he kept saying that this air heat pump would be a solar technology?? Because it extracts heat from the air.
Furthermore:
Additional costs of about €18,000 for earthworks, sewer works, and house connections.
Is that okay?
He said that includes the earth excavation and the connection installation from the street to the house (electricity, water, etc.)
Another extra:
We could have a heat recovery system installed for about €15,000, with an air filter and so on. For allergy sufferers, like in passive prefabricated houses.
He estimates that with this, the KfW rating would even drop from 70 (which is normal) to 55.
Is the additional cost + health aspect worth it?
I am allergic to pollen and so on and get severe eye itching/burning, itching in the palate, etc.
Those were my main questions for now.
Further:
I forgot to ask about costs for electric roller shutters. What would you say?
And how much does a garage cost approximately?
And is a bedroom including a dressing room with 15 sqm big enough? It seems a bit small to me.
And finally:
The plot is located on a slight slope. That means about half of the basement is underground, or in other words, from the terrace a few steps down to the garden.
On the left side, the other semi-detached house, on the right side a stream, and behind the garden, directly adjacent with no space in between, the forest slope rises.
Occasionally there is apparently some wildlife visiting. (according to the neighbor: mice, 2 rats, a marten’s nest somewhere nearby, fawn, wild boar)
How would you assess such a property? We are basically city kids.
That’s it from me for now. Thanks for your help.
