Hello everyone,
we are currently planning the living and dining area of our condominium. Construction has not started yet, so we have complete freedom regarding the connections and placement of the kitchen.
The floor plan of the room is somewhat challenging, and I’m not sure if we might be overcomplicating the initial planning. Therefore, we would greatly appreciate any tips on how to best design and divide the space.
The room needs to accommodate: kitchen, dining table, sofa + projector or TV.
Notes on the planning:
- The screen in the center is to be mounted on the ceiling and only lowered when watching movies.
- The table should be pushed all the way against the wall in normal use and only pulled further into the room when there are many guests, so that additional people can sit on the bench. (I have attached one version for 8 people and one for 6 people.)
Do you have any other ideas to make the best use of the space? The kitchen island is not absolutely necessary, but due to the pillar, the use of the room seems rather limited from my perspective.
Best regards and thanks for your help

Thank you for your input. We are aware that we have to make compromises with the apartment. However, we decided on this apartment because it meets most of our needs (e.g., a "large" garden and location) and is also intended as a temporary solution. Having children is not currently planned (but it will be in the future) – though anything can happen. In such a case, we would like the opportunity to take our time to choose the right and suitable property. Because that can sometimes take a while in the Stuttgart area... 😀

You can grow old together as a couple, but you could also live there as three from pregnancy until the child reaches school age. The rooms can simply be rearranged. However, I wouldn’t plan for every worst-case scenario. There aren’t that many possibilities.Hello everyone,
It has now been six months, and there are some updates.
The project was originally scheduled to start construction in December 2022. However, due to delays in the building permit/planning permission process, construction has not yet begun. I am in regular contact with the developer to get the current status, but so far, I have not received any official notification about the delay.
According to the purchase agreement, the guaranteed completion date is the end of March 2023, so I assume we are already behind schedule. (The developer estimates the construction period to be only 12 to 14 months...)
Last night, I received an email for the first time that was sent to all owners. In the email, the developer informs that work has not yet started. It also states that they hope to begin work in April. No delay in the completion of the construction is mentioned.
My questions regarding this:

My questions regarding this:
- Is this email considered an official notice, or must such an announcement be made in written form?
- Should I respond to the email in any way? (for example, proactively raise the topic of project completion or move-in date?)
- Are there any other aspects I should be aware of?
Hello everyone,
More than a year has passed now, and as was already foreseeable back then, we still haven’t moved in. 🙄 Officially, our developer is now behind schedule, although we haven’t discussed any compensation yet. I was informed in writing that after March 31, 2023, all living expenses until moving in would be covered. How is this usually handled? Monthly payments, or should I withhold part of the final payment? (With the first instalment, 5% was retained as a security deposit.)
Best regards

I was informed in writing that after March 31, 2023, all costs for living expenses until move-in would be covered. How is this usually handled? Monthly payments or should I withhold something from the final payment? (5% was withheld as a security deposit with the first due installment)For me, that’s not even a question: from April onward, an invoice should be issued on the first of every month, payable immediately. As for the so-called defect retention, I don’t consider that applicable here.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

thanks for your feedback. I hadn’t considered that before. My thought was that with the remaining additional costs, I might end up stuck with the invoices I’ve issued because of high estimates... Do claims expire, or why would you issue an invoice every month right away?
