ᐅ Can anyone read or understand this flyer?

Comfort climate heating means an air-to-air heat pump like Proxon, etc., so without water-based heating surfaces, and that in a KfW 55 house... KfW 40+ or passive house maybe okay, but in a KfW 55 never ever... Just take the flyer and throw it away...

That would also be a reason for me to keep my distance from this provider altogether.

I consider mutual fairness important. Small regional general contractors can do well without any showmanship and build good houses. Unfortunately, a house is not just a consumer product, but a project.

I would clearly advise the original poster to opt for purchasing an existing property.

The term "finished" house never means "just swipe the credit card and turn the key" (that actually refers to an existing property), but rather a "prefabricated" house, meaning less on-site labor time visible on the property. Nothing can be faster or more predictable than that.

The gap between the perceived value of the offer and the seller’s price expectation decreases the newer the house is – however, you typically buy such a young used house through a different market channel, ideally from a divorce lawyer. If an older house is acceptable, then the best contact is the undertaker. Those searching through real estate agents usually find the least financially attractive offers: agents are involved when sellers are unrealistic and refuse to accept market realities. The typical disagreement often arises when the seller values the features based on their original high quality, instead of how the buyer thinks (namely: quality hardly matters if the features are glaringly outdated, giving them effectively a residual value of “zero” minus the cost of removal).

In other words: the perception that “existing properties are often a joke price-wise” has simple reasons (especially true for properties in the age range “not fresh stylistically, but not yet substantially in need of renovation”). However: the spiral staircase will return.

Existing properties offer the best predictability in cost calculations, but traps such as hidden infrastructure fees can still arise. In new developments, by contrast, people may look forward to new views created in the next construction phase or to roads that, once completed, will leave the plot situated in a basin.

My point was more about the basic condition that the OP (as I understand it) would like to choose a house from a catalog, then have 1 year of peace until the house is finished and they can move in.
Building a house is quite stressful, especially if you live 300 meters (about 980 feet) away.

And "prefabricated house" does not mean that it is ready to move into upon handover. Rather, the term refers to the construction method using prefabricated components, which are manufactured in a factory and then assembled on site. This contrasts with solid construction, "brick by brick." In both cases, you will find offers like "turnkey" (usually you still have to arrange and install floor and wall coverings yourself) or "ready to move in." The latter is probably what you mean?

Oh interesting, thanks! What does GU mean? Where can I find someone like that around the greater Hildesheim area? Even if it makes some people cringe here, "ready to move in" would be wonderful for us.

What you are looking for cannot be provided by a general contractor (GC). The homeowner still has to take care of many things themselves. Some tasks can be handed over to the GC, but not everything.
The term "prefabricated house" refers to the type of construction: prefabrication. Of course, this is based on a slab foundation organized by the builder. Additional construction-related costs apply, which relate to the plot and are also arranged and paid for by the builder, such as utility connections. Usually, "turnkey" does not mean "ready to move in," since painting and floor coverings still need to be done on your own. Painting doesn’t only refer to walls, often it also includes the treatment of all wood, including the staircase or exterior base trim.
Then there’s the outdoor landscaping like paving and so on...
Be sure to pay attention to the scope of work when dealing with home builders: often, what is included by default is not exactly what you might want, for example, electrical installations that are still based on outdated standards from the 1970s, even though you need many more sockets, etc. -> Additional costs
Who offers what you want? A developer who sells land and house together. In this case, you are not the builder but the buyer. This option is often criticized but in some cases like yours, it may be the most sensible choice.
Or a resale property: as seen, as bought. However, compromises usually have to be made regarding the features and finishes.
You also have to be prepared to compromise on the plot: many want a two-story city villa, but the zoning plan may say something else.
Building a house is not something that can just be done between two moves. And building a house is not always the best solution.
A tip for Lower Saxony: Viebrockhaus, which builds within 3 months, offers an all-inclusive package, but it also costs quite a bit. You have to like their concept, though.

In Hildesheim, there are planned semi-detached and terraced houses from property developers. I would recommend looking into these options or considering any affordable house built from around 2005 onwards and examining everything in detail rather than dismissing them outright. Personally, I wouldn’t mind a terraced house as long as everything else meets my satisfaction.

By the way, I immediately thought of the blog. It is very well known among parenting and sewing communities. Just try searching for MamaHoch2.
