Dear Forum,
After much back and forth, I am still unsure about what to do.
It concerns a single-family house (9.50 x 11 m (31.2 x 36.1 ft)) built with solid construction.
The original idea was a turnkey project, but a friend suggested contracting individual trades to save money.
I want to source the following services from a single company (a shell construction company from our region):
- Two full floors
- KFW 55 energy standard
- Hipped roof with about a 20-degree pitch
- House with approximately 9.50 m by 11 m (31.2 ft by 36.1 ft) external dimensions
- Roof structure including roofing metalwork
- Planning application including building permits / planning permission
- Structural engineering (construction start notification)
- Windows
- Front door
- Construction management for our trades
This approach aims to ensure that the house at least “stands” completely and is weather-tight.
Question 1:
The offer for this is about €190,000. What do you think?
The same provider wants approximately €380,000 for the turnkey house (separate offer).
Question 2:
What do you think about the difference between €190,000 and €380,000?
Assuming I take only the basic construction stage and hire the trades myself, can I manage to stay under €190,000 (the difference between €380,000 and €190,000)?
Thank you very much

Ideensucher8 Jul 2020 15:42On which amount is the property transfer tax actually paid in case of individual contracting? Only on the shell construction? It’s not even habitable. On the other hand, how is the tax office supposed to know what parts of the house I do myself and what is done by a company?
Depending on the state, with a total of 200,000 euros, this could mean up to 13,000 euros less property transfer tax on the main invoice that you wouldn’t have to pay.

Sparfuchs778 Jul 2020 15:53Property acquisition tax applies to the land purchase price.
Unless you buy the land and house together from a developer. In that case, the tax applies to the entire amount.

1) tax on (land + turnkey house) or 2) tax on (land + turnkey house + total prices of individual trades) ?

Does EVERYTHING mean
1) tax on (land + shell house) or 2) tax on (land + shell house + total price of individual trades)? I would say: tax applies to everything you buy from that developer.
So if you buy the land + shell house from them, then it’s that. If you buy land + turnkey, then the tax applies to that.
That’s how I would interpret it, but I could be wrong.
