Single-family house from 1987. Evaluation of the price and the "necessary" work

the appointment went semi well :)

so directly before us there was another couple. There are still interested parties (whether potential buyers, no idea)
But the price will probably only be adjusted by a maximum of €10,000. However, we do not want to gamble and hope that the broker "bluffs". The house was basically already sold (which is why the listing was deactivated at the time) The notary appointment was also set. But a day before it was canceled due to non-received financing)

Otherwise, it turned out that there is a programmable underfloor heating installed on the ground floor. But this is not mentioned in the listing.
Regarding consumption, the nice owners couldn't say much. For them, it was normal :)
Underfloor heating runs almost constantly. Every room is always heated to 21° etc.

We were again enthusiastic about the house and can imagine everything very well there. That’s why we have now set everything in motion to buy the house. A written "pre-approval" from the bank is available and was sent to the broker yesterday. Broker and bank should now communicate regarding the further procedure. We need about 2 weeks processing time for the bank, due to pledge swap etc. That takes a bit. The broker is supposed to "reserve" the house for us during this period.
In this context, there will be another conversation with the owners regarding accommodation (the aforementioned 10k). If nothing comes of it, that’s a pity, but the house will be bought anyway. The location, the standard land value, the (for us) great plot with the "forecourt" etc. pp. are simply too good for us to miss the chance to pass up such a great house with the plot.

The heart also plays a big role here. I've said it many times. This is the perfect location for us. Especially for the daughter. I grew up there. Family lives in immediate proximity. Kindergarten within walking distance. Primary school and secondary schools also within walking distance, etc. pp

I am also in contact with an energy consultant regarding energetic renovation. What exactly should or must be done.

But I have also spoken with many other acquaintances, including acquaintances who live in this "settlement". General tenor: New roof? Why? Everything is in top condition. The old Frankfurt tile lasts 60-70 years (storm damage excluded of course)
If the energy consultant (who is also a master roofer) confirms this as well, I will leave the roof as it is and take care of it in 25 years.
The plan is therefore to fully cover the entire south side with photovoltaic. After 20-25 years, the roof and photovoltaic can be renewed.
Maybe also solar thermal (currently still subsidized at 25%) to support the gas heating. Although the general opinion there is photovoltaic or nothing?! :)

The basement ceiling will be insulated. New front door, new conservatory – that one is done. All windows also new. Fireplace, we’ll see how far it can be made water-bearing. That’s supposed to bring a lot as well.

Yeah. Then all the modernizations. New bathrooms. New flooring. Painting walls. Pulling a few cables. New kitchen. New garage door etc.

That’s the plan :)

The nice owners couldn’t say much about consumption. For them, it was normal :)

For the year of construction, that might also be normal. I almost fell off my chair when my mother said she alone consumes 30,000 kWh of gas per year in her house built in 1980. This house is lower than that, although it is unknown how much heating was done with the fireplace.
