Substance Assessment BJ 69 (Lower Section BaWü)

The calculation seems realistic to me.
A prefabricated house from the late 60s definitely needs to be checked for pollutants, but you have that in mind.
Otherwise, it looks neat and sufficiently well maintained.
If the space is enough for you and the location fits, in my opinion, there is nothing against it.

Hello everyone,

so first of all I want to briefly mention that of course before closing a surveyor will look at the house again and samples regarding pollutants will be taken. But in the first step I want to know if my cost estimate is on track and if you possibly notice details that I have overlooked! :)))

Attached are the pictures:

Purchase price: 200,000€
Plot: 900 sqm
Living area: 80 sqm (without basement)
Year built: 69 (prefabricated house, manufacturer unfortunately still unknown grrrrrr - there is something on the floor plan but unfortunately I can’t find anything grrrrrr)

The roof can be expanded with a dormer. Here I already have a rough price estimate of 40-50k€ including roofing from a carpenter friend.
Oil heating still in operation and the windows are plastic double-glazed windows, so both do not need to be replaced for now!

Here is my breakdown:


Best regards

So the house just looks as if it was built and then maintained, but nothing more was done to it. Basically unchanged original condition. The year built itself is of course not the best, but you are already following up on that with the samples. In addition, it is also a prefabricated house. That is always a tricky issue at this age, especially since you don’t yet know the manufacturer and thus the construction. Side note: It is called dormer, not "Gaube" :). Regarding the calculation I can say it could work if you plan for basic standard and a lot of own work. Apart from the outdoor facilities, where 5,000€ is too little depending on your plans, but since the garden is well established and you still have a buffer, it could work. If the heating is still running and according to your heating technician’s assessment will last for a while, it can be left in place, yes. Personally, I would probably replace the windows, I think they already look quite "worn out." I am still missing tiling work in the kitchen? The exterior shell should remain as is? Insulation, front door, etc.?

It is called Gaube and not Gaube :)

A Dachgaube, short Gaube, occasionally also Dachgaupe (or Gaube), in parts of Austria also called Dachkapfer, and in Switzerland Lukarne (from the French lucarne), is a roof structure in the pitched roof of a building.

It is called Gaube and not Gaube

That probably depends on the main riverbank, here in the north it is also written with Bärdda-Beh.

In addition, it is also a prefabricated house. That’s just the way it is with that age and especially since you don’t know the manufacturer and thus the construction so far.

In my assessment, it is constructed typical of the time, and we even have experience reports / small building blogs in the forum. Visually, I initially suspected more of an Okal House or Streif House, but "BREI" specifically suggests Breisgauhaus (which at least later became known nationwide, but were mainly regionally distributed).
