Hello everyone,
I bought a 1.5-story house from Town & Country, the contract is already signed, and the financing through the bank is also finalized. The planning with the developer was completed as well. I originally wanted to submit the building permit / planning permission application this week, but the developer just informed me that my plot actually requires a mandatory 2-story building. However, what we planned is a 1.5-story house. What is this about? The planning and financing are basically finished. What should I do? This is definitely a mistake by the seller. He knew the zoning plan from the beginning but sold me a house that does not meet the development plan requirements. What should I do? What consequences will I face? Does anyone have experience or advice? Many thanks.

this is one of the most affordable providers on the market. Even goodwill has costsIn our case, we are referring to Heinz von Heiden ...

Why do you speak so negatively so often? Could we please see your house and who built it or how much it cost you?HilfeHilfe is actually right with his “reserved opinion” about the cheaper suppliers. They come with a catch. If you know about it and plan accordingly, working with them can go very well.

Town & Country and Heinz von Heiden are simply the cheapest on the market. Cheap means that something has to be sacrificed somewhere. From an economic perspective, costs are cut somewhere in the value chain. It’s usually the craftsmen and workers, etc. Why does every change cost extra with them? That way, they can increase their profit margin even more.
My house is a semi-detached home, and in total both parties paid around 500,000 euros (about 540,000 US dollars) in 2013 (with higher interest rates), and we have already invested 30,000–40,000 euros (about 32,000–43,000 US dollars) in the outdoor areas. The contractor was local and had a very good reputation despite some weaknesses (for example, the landscaping was done somewhat inconsistently).
Even here, changes cost us money—not always, but occasionally.
However, I never complained because it was my choice. Annoying issues were things like the air-source heat pump breaking down, which led to arguments.

I promised my kids a big ice cream during Christmas time. For a whole week. But I forgot that our two Italians would be installing the floorboards in December and January and then traveling home. The kids were disappointed in their Serbian dad, and Selma, my wife, kept reminding me: "Ivo, never promise what you can't deliver."
That's why I'm happy to be the "bad" Serbian troublemaker.
Hello everyone,
Thank you. Town & Country will send an architect to the building authority to clarify whether the development plan is still valid, because the plan, which requires the building to have two stories (Roman numeral two inside a circle), is already 50 years old. I am waiting for their response. This will delay the entire process, and later on there will also be interest charges on the loan availability.
I have the house model, and Town & Country has worked on and considered it for weeks. I would really be at a loss if I had to look for something else. Also, the loan is basically tied to the house, right? I have a big headache at the moment. Regarding the knee wall height, I have already raised it by 50cm (20 inches). The architect said that raising it another 25cm (10 inches) probably still wouldn’t be enough. What would the house look like if the knee wall were raised by 50cm (20 inches) more? Would that then result in a knee wall height of 1.40m (4 ft 7 inches), or could dormer windows be a better solution to this problem?
Thank you very much.
