ᐅ Procedure for Building a New Single-Family Home on an Existing Plot of Land

Created on: 18 Nov 2022 07:55

Hello everyone,

I know no one has a crystal ball here, but I would still like to hear your opinions:

We have just purchased a plot of land in Hesse, currently live cheaply, and have no urgent time pressure to build (although sooner is always better), except for the 5-year building obligation required by the municipality, which, however, can be extended by 1-2 years for justified reasons. We have slowly started planning and would like to possibly have the completed plans along with the building permit for our new single-family home ready to go, so we can react relatively quickly.

My assessment is that construction prices and interest rates will change little in 2023, even if they might stabilize at a high level. How 2024 or 2025 will look, of course, no one knows. But what is your feeling:
1. Rush the planning and possibly take advantage of a small "interest dip" in 2023 for financing and start with the belief that neither interest rates nor prices will significantly fall in the medium term, and waiting is just lost time.
2. Plan completely calmly, continue to build up equity, and assume that conditions for a new build may improve by the end of 2024 or possibly 2025.

If things become more concrete soon, I would be happy to provide more information for planning and share your feedback.
I welcome any questions and opinions 🙂

Best regards

Hello everyone,

Here is a first draft. We still have several changes we want to make ourselves, but I would still like to hear your general opinions and suggestions for improvements. Basically, the study will be moved from the ground floor to the basement, the hobby room will be smaller, and the living area on the ground floor will be larger.

Due to the layout of the garage and house, the space in the southwest feels too tight for us. The terrace is not very wide, and the distance to the property boundary is too small from our perspective.

Thanks for your comments

Not that I'm curious, but what exactly is a parrot area – do you know my classmate Klops?

Well, that’s where the pets live, it’s not just cats and dogs 😉

I would also design the two rooms in the living area or the home office with floor-to-ceiling windows. This allows much more light in and looks more modern. From the outside, it also looks significantly better than those small windows.

Sorry if this question has already been answered: Is there already a cost plan for this design?
