Wait with the building application because of the child construction allowance

But the knowledge and the building notification are only about 3-4 weeks apart. I know when our architect submitted the documents and when we received the notification documents from the building authority. I would take the date on the sheet from the building authority (Anzeigeunterlagen).

With us, the building notification was in March 2018. The submission of the documents was November 2017.

Oh. We'll see. But from experience, we always miss such things by 2-3 days and get nothing [emoji23]. It was the same with the childcare allowance. Submitted one day too late and therefore it was no longer processed.

An example: our architect submitted our building application (date on the application) on 22.01, on 6.02 the letter arrived with the receipt date of 2.02 containing the information that the required building documents had been submitted. And from this point on, construction was already allowed to begin (approval exemption according to Paragraph 56 HBO).

The display took a long time for you, what was the reason for that?

Which

It says in the Stuttgarter Zeitung:
"It is different, for example, when a young woman bought a condominium as a single and rented it out. If she later gets married, has children, and chooses a shared property with her husband, the federal government pays Baukindergeld."

Hello to everyone participating in the discussion.
I recently registered here and would like to contribute to this discussion as well.

Linking the Baukindergeld to the first purchase makes sense to me if politics wants to increase the ownership rate.

However, differentiating according to the purchase date of the property is, to me, support for a specific lobby group.

I will describe three different cases in which this injustice becomes clear.

Case 1: Family with three children, income of 50,000-60,000, purchased a self-used condominium as a family to avoid renting permanently.
Not eligible for support, because property was already acquired as a family.
Case 2: Family with two children, income of 90,000-100,000 euros, couple bought a property directly. Only afterward did they have two children.
Eligible for support, 200 euros per month, 24,000 euros over the total duration.
Case 3: Family with three children, income of 105,000-115,000, both husband and wife inherited early and own several properties. Only afterward did they have children.
Eligible for support, 300 euros per month, 36,000 euros over the total duration.

Is that encouraging ownership rates? I don't think so.

That is why it would be fairer to look at whether the family even needs a larger/ different property, rather than focusing on the time of the property purchase.

In the last two cases, there is an increase in the ownership quota in 2018, since [after 01.01.18] a purchase must be made. I also assume that the [Baukindergeld] only flows when children arrive, and if the child comes in 2 years, then there will only be 8 years of [Baukindergeld].

However, this is only a speculation, as there are no details yet. If one interprets the scarce information strictly now, the property would not be eligible for funding in the last two cases either, since no children are present at the time of purchase and it was therefore bought as a couple.

In case 2, one would already have to rent out the old property and buy/build new as a family to receive [Baukindergeld]. This would also be associated with an increase in the ownership quota. But such a risk/double burden must first be managed.
