When and how BAFA/10000 Houses Program?

Hi!

Today someone told me at the playground that the 10,000-houses subsidy no longer has to be linked to the KfW loan, so I tried to find out more.

What I noticed is that I have often read that you only get the subsidies if you apply for them before signing the house construction contract.

Is that really the case?
We signed with the general contractor a few weeks ago because we couldn't get financing without a signed contract, but we only recently had the notary appointment for the land.

But basically, we don't know, for example, whether we have a gas or air-water heat pump, let alone which KfW standard we have!

I hope you understand my concern / my question!

The 10,000-houses program exists before signing the contract The house must be eligible for KFW funding and include energy-related measures. You must know what kind of house you are building if you have already signed a contract

No, I don't know what kind of house it will be... Only the floor plan and the final price are actually fixed. It will be kept fairly general regarding which heating system exactly will be used; 3-4 market leaders are listed. I think we can just choose one ourselves then. The same goes for the bricks, calcium silicate bricks with insulation or brick. There are a few other options, but these come with an extra charge. (Kontrollierte-Wohnraumlüftung, Garage etc)

But if it's already too late now, unfortunately the matter has settled itself.

Thank you!

How is a final price supposed to be listed there?

It's too late. Unfortunately, I can't tell you how they check that. For us, the funding was unprofitable. Sounds silly, but that's how it was.

Most changes are basically cost-neutral (type of stones, windows, heating). As already mentioned, we only needed a contract in advance for the Sparkasse and Labo!
