Hello,
Now you have said nothing significant. It was positive with Weberhaus. The offer included a fixed-price guarantee, base slab, etc. I don’t see any hidden costs there now. In detail, of course, it may be that fewer sockets, simpler equipment, etc. are offered. But the equipment line can also be upgraded if needed. Basically, I read it as meaning that this – if you take the house exactly the same way – also applies as it is. What is wrong with that??
With Bauexperte, it reads as if the whole provider is worthless.
No, that is certainly not what I meant by that; also Kern-Haus reaches for the ceiling. The majority of potential builders still see "stinginess is cool" as desirable. Only – I am not just a moderator, but also a saleswoman. If I were to write everything I know, on the one hand, users here would not believe me and on the other hand – and I think most would see it this way – they would accuse me of "speaking negatively about the competition." The majority of potential builders want to shower but not get wet.
In the fine print of the ad, it says that the house – because it was awarded – is available as an offer for EUR 225k plus garage. If I “add on” everything that characterizes a qualitatively valuable house, I am back to what “I” would call a realistic sale price; "Der Da" has hit the nail on the head … once again. No one has anything to give away, not even Kern-Haus. I refrain from making any statements about this provider because I have often – instead of his – driven home with a contract; I inform fully and not in bits and pieces!
But I gladly admit that I try to pick out the “thinking along” builders from the multitude of inquiries. It is still very advisory intensive, but with them, I do not have to engage in nonsensical discussions like "stinginess is cool." By no means do I mean to say that I choose my clientele according to their wallets – I just accepted an Ömi contract 14 days ago. It mainly depends on attitude, regardless of any status thinking!
I find it very difficult to discuss clear prices when no clear offers may be mentioned. Everything, yes really everything that can be purchased can generally be clearly quantified – only when buying houses, most of it happens very secretly. And if you can’t really shed light on it here... I think that is a big drawback for the forum. I have to accept it, but I don’t have to like it.
If you want to build a house, there is no way to compare one house with another. Sure, I could say now, house "x" costs EUR 200k – but then you must build it exactly the same way and not differently, the plot conditions must be identical, and … and ... and.
I constantly write here about prices; more than an approximate value is not possible. What is possible – and this is communicated by €uro, E.Curb, Baucoach, me, and also many experienced users – is to explain the framework conditions, what is offered too expensively and certainly too cheaply, the pitfalls in the building contract, to explain what many providers like to keep quiet about, what to watch out for ... the list is very long and permanently readable here.
What you need is an intensive advisory conversation with a salesperson you trust. Or – if this advice is also too general for you: go to the new development areas. Best on the weekend – there you will meet many builders. They will answer honestly, independently of sellers and providers. A forum like this can only accompany and warn against the biggest traps. You have to find "your," the right provider for you yourself ... there is no universal solution here either.
Kind regards
