Single-family house, estimated costs and suggestions for the floor plan

Thanks, but I don’t have to be careful because, as I said, we know each other from before and they won’t deceive us.

This is not about being deceived, but about the assessment of real estate transfer tax by the tax office. At the moment it is clear which company will build on the property after the purchase, real estate transfer tax may also be due on the house. There were partly some peculiar interpretations by tax officers when determining the real estate transfer tax, even though there was no economic connection between the property seller and the house builder.

The questionnaire from the tax office then contains a few tricky questions, such as:
- do you plan to develop the property ("of course, otherwise I wouldn’t have bought it")
- how did you find the property ("well actually the guy from the house building company... oh no, I’m not allowed to say that now... I asked at the municipality")
- do I have offers from several companies ("of course ... I had them made especially for you")
- are the offers still valid or have the negotiations already ended ("of course they are still valid, I haven’t canceled all yet on purpose")
- have house building contracts already been signed ("not signed yet, but I’ve had them for weeks")

And of course, everything must be properly documented.

You will be surprised what costs are added to the fixed price. Because no one can tell you whether everything that belongs to the house is included in the price. There are 1000 tricks that can be used. And even reputable companies use some of them. THERE is no final price.

I can't just accept that statement as it is.

Here in my area, 2 companies build turnkey houses and all my acquaintances who built with them were provided in advance with the cost breakdown including everything involved and a buffer of 20,000 EURO for the sampling.

And whether you believe me or not. All, really all, ended up within the stated amount.

Maybe it depends on the federal state.
