Hello everyone,
We are currently considering a prefabricated house from Bien-Zenker. It was built at the end of 2013, so it’s almost new. A family with five children lived in it for one year. The marriage broke up and the house is now being sold. Some interior work was done by the owners themselves, which is visible in places (bathroom grout is poorly done).
The details are as follows:
The purchase price is €390,000 plus realtor fees. The walls all need repainting as they’re quite marked by the children. Some baseboards need repair. The garden still needs to be landscaped.
What do you think? Is the price reasonable?
Thank you very much.
Best regards,
Timo

What do you think about the wall construction from Bien-Zenker? For us, this was a reason to exclude them from our shortlist... (because the walls are too thin, with no wooden board behind the plaster on the interior, meaning special anchors are always needed)How often have you drilled into the wall over the past 12 months?Everyone has to decide for themselves, I’m just pointing out that it doesn’t work for US.
If there is no wood board behind the plaster anymore, you have to plan differently, also in terms of load-bearing capacity, compared to having a board.
For us, "often" was not even the question; I prefer to use a screw like a Spax and hang everything I need on it.

Cavity anchors, yes.
A TV mount should be possible; I think the consultant mentioned something about 50 kg (110 lbs), but I’m not entirely sure.
No idea about the electrical boxes; are the building plans still available? They usually show where reinforcements, pipes, etc., run inside the walls.

Installing electrical boxes later in a prefabricated house is complicated because the beams usually run vertically. This means you have to run the wiring cables all the way to the ceiling (or the floor). You need to hit the cavity (the space between the wooden beams). In principle, this is not too difficult—just use a hole saw and get started—but be careful not to go too deep to avoid damaging the vapor barrier.
