Hello everyone,
I viewed a quite nice mid-terrace house today. What caught my attention, however, was that on the second floor or attic level there are vertical and horizontal cracks on both sides. The real estate agent said that this is where the masonry meets the concrete roof section and that it can probably just be filled with filler. If that’s the case, it would be fine. Does anyone have an idea if this is a plausible explanation? Thanks and best regards

He said the previous tenant had utility costs of 1000 euros per year for heating and hot water. We already have similar expenses in our 4-room apartment. What are you trying to say with this? Are you questioning the statement, the fact, hearsay, the tenant, the real estate agent, or do you want to tell us something and actually have no doubts?
Or is it a question of whether this is possible?
That depends on the person.
The two of us pay less… for 2001 that might be accurate…

That also depends on the person.
The two of us pay less… that might be accurate for 2001… Neither, really. I was just wondering if that’s realistic. But it should be fine. With four of us, we’ll probably exceed that for hot water. For heating, probably less so. So what you said about it depending on the person is true. For electricity, the four of us use about the same as a single-person household. I just always thought I wanted something well insulated and as new as possible. However, a colleague who lives in a KfW40 house recently mentioned that in summer it’s almost impossible to get rid of the heat because it’s so well insulated.

If you think that you don’t have to pay anything for heating in new houses (from around 2001?), you are mistaken.
If you have further questions, please consolidate them into ONE thread under “House Purchase Mid-Terrace Without Expertise” or something similar, so that there is a clear overview of the entire property. 🙂

If you think that heating costs nothing in new houses built around 2001, then you are mistaken.
If you have more questions, please compile them in ONE thread under something like "Buying a Terrace House Without Expert Knowledge," so that there is an overview of the entire property. 🙂 I would like to combine them, but how?
