Hello,
I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment. My partner and I want to build a house but we don’t really know where to start. There are thousands of answers out there, but the questions people ask are always different. Our situation is that we are looking for a provider who offers everything from a single source. Land with house construction and everything that comes with it, like insurance, additional costs, and so on. We want to build a ready-to-move-in house with about 100-120m² (1,076-1,292 sq ft) of living space, plus a small garden. Otherwise, we have no other specific requirements. Our total budget is 205,000€. Whether it’s a bungalow or not is not a priority at this point. As mentioned, we are looking for providers offering a full-service package. Of course, we want to avoid falling into any building traps and having to pay more later on.
We want to build within approximately 10km (6 miles) of Neuss, NRW. Does anyone have recommendations or can tell us where to best find help or information? Or does anyone know a reliable provider? I’m really looking forward to your answers and wish you a nice day.
Best regards
Ralf

To address the location: It would definitely make a difference since most of our relatives (about 90%) live in Neuss. Driving there every time would also mean significant costs. Therefore, after much back and forth, we have decided to stay, or at least want to stay, in the Gnadental/Grimlinghausen area. By now, our expectations have decreased to the point that we are considering buying a condominium (up to 150,000€). It doesn’t necessarily have to be a house right away; perhaps starting smaller and possibly selling later. This is currently an option for us.
