Hello,

I am planning to extend my parents' house, and I have a question: What are the rules for building onto an existing house? Am I allowed to build higher than the current building without causing any issues? I already have a provisional building permit / planning permission, but I want to build higher or raise the attic so that it can be used. Is that possible?

Best regards
B

Thanks for the responses. Yes, Bauexperte, I know Neukirchen very well, that’s nice 😉 there are kind of half-Bavarians 😉 from my area.
I really like this area ... to be honest, I wouldn’t want to live there—at least not as long as I still have to work; bus connections are very infrequent, and internet speeds tend toward zero. You can’t get anywhere without a car 😱

Yes, I will definitely do that with an architect. Is there also an option for a non-binding quote?
I doubt that; the initial consultation is usually free ... the rest is generally charged.

Kind regards

Hello,
The building expert is absolutely right: verbal statements have little value. There are only two ways to obtain certainty:
1. Submit a building inquiry; this can be limited to a very specific question
2. Submit a building permit application (planning permission application)
Everything else has no legal relevance—unless a development plan exists, which apparently is not the case for you.
