Good evening everyone,

my wife and I bought a house in Lower Saxony this year, built in 1983, where the previous owners wanted to install a swimming pool. This was already taken into account during the shell construction; there is a 5x6x1.5m reinforced concrete pool. Otherwise, the room in the basement is still in shell condition. Currently, there is an oil heating system installed (built in 2016, 6000L tank). Some groundwater is currently entering the pool because a lighting opening to the soil is open and needs to be closed. See pictures attached.

Marked in red on the floor plan is the room for the swimming pool, where space was also planned for a sauna, etc. The heating room is at the bottom right. We currently have two children (3 and 2 years old) and a third is coming in February. The swimming pool would be used very frequently. It should be mentioned that I don’t like cold water. I would like to have a warm whirlpool area or something like that in the pool where I can watch the children splash around in the cold (27°) water

We are now considering what to do with the room. Hobby room, floor-to-ceiling lounge or something similar. Of course, we are thinking about whether we should develop the room into a wellness area. Can you give a rough idea of what something like that costs, including operating costs? 25,000 EUR? 50,000 EUR? I really have no idea. I think heating a pool with 45,000L of water with oil would probably be foolish, right?

How well are you financially positioned? As an average earner, I would never treat myself to a swimming pool in the basement of an old house. Besides the fact that you still have to complete the pool including the technology, the entire basement area is still a shell – it has to be prepared for high (air) humidity and also fit a pool. The insulation on the outside is probably not great for that age, so high operating costs will follow. I have no idea about the price, but I would guess that you won’t manage with €50,000. It will definitely be more expensive.

Didn’t you ask exactly this question here, or in the green or pink forum some time ago? I remember the hole with the broth inside...

Exactly! Back then, it was about whether that constitutes a knockout criterion for the purchase due to incoming water, etc. But an expert denied that, and we moved in recently. Now we are just considering in detail what to do with it.

I will change jobs at the beginning of next year and will make a good salary jump, so we are now reconsidering the direction of a swimming pool. I am currently the sole earner; including child benefits and construction child benefits, we then have about €7,000 net per month (without bonus). The rate for the house is €870 per month.

do you want to do everything yourself? then 50 K Euro, otherwise about 100 K Euro. but that is standard, without much luxury...

that would be too expensive for me, how often do you go in there? boring as hell, better to go for a trip to the spa, be nicely pampered and not have to tidy up wash etc...
