Hello, I have a question now. I often read about additional costs of up to 500 euros per month after building a house.
Why is this amount so high? There might be new items like insurance, but shared additional costs are also paid in a rental apartment, right?
Or am I missing something else? Thank you ☺️

What went through there was really bad, and we didn’t even heat the basement anymore....and have you looked into the causes? Sounds like you didn’t expect the height...

I also don’t understand why property tax should depend on the type of house on the land. The idea seems to be: If someone could afford an expensive or large house, then they can pay more property tax... The current version of the property tax is a hidden wealth tax, but it corresponds to the common ability-to-pay principle in tax law.
The question is whether this is unusually high or not. Before winter, I wouldn’t have expected such high consumption, simply due to lack of experience. But you also have to consider that we have an electric car, and even though the house is built to KfW55 standard, it has a floor area including the basement (even though we don’t heat the basement, or only for about three weeks which is not during the screenshot period) of 210 m² (2,260 sq ft).
That would be about 31 kWh per day in the coldest part of winter. We’ll see how it goes next year. So far, I’m at 5,579 kWh consumption since July 21, 2019, despite having photovoltaic panels.

You could just as well argue that the progressive income tax is unfair.
Personally, I think it’s reasonable that someone who can afford to build an expensive house also contributes more for the community than someone who cannot and lives in an older property.
But that is certainly open to debate.
