Hello everyone,
I have already posted pictures of my existing property in this thread: https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/abriss-oder-Sanierung-was-meint-ihr.30023/page-3#post-379181
Here is my current thought: renovate and then rent out. I have tradespeople ready . Demolition would be quite costly; the lowest quote I received was €25,000.
Renovation plan:
- new windows (I would consider windows from abroad, possibly with window rebate ventilation)
- heating system + radiators (a good friend would handle this)
- electrical work (also by the same friend)
- new floors and walls
- possibly new bricks
- interior doors
- the facade is basically fine (maybe a refresh or, if possible, adding a brick veneer)
Location: the property is in a very popular area, central yet quiet.
I am reluctant to sell it.
Unfortunately, I don’t have any floor plans for the basement/partial basement. Sometimes water seeps in from below during winter, but this past winter it stayed dry, no idea why (the seller had mentioned this as well).
I received these photos from the local authority today. If you look at the ground floor, the old plan corresponds to the current layout. The middle wall in the living room has been removed. I don’t have the exact measurements yet. The laundry room is an extension that I would remove, and I would relocate the entrance door to the east side, that is, into the dressing room.
Advantage: this would give me a bigger garden in my new build, which will be constructed behind the property, providing more privacy .
Question: how could the floor plan be optimized, possibly to create two separate apartments?
Feel free to be as creative as you want
Thank you!!

The foundation slab is usually slightly larger than the basement. That is, the basement walls are set back by 5-10 cm (2-4 inches). This area—the overhanging foundation slab and the vertical basement walls—is finished with mortar fillet. This is also the spot where water often penetrates. Therefore, this area must be carefully insulated. Over time, aging can occur, which may cause leaks.
However, once you have excavated down to this level, it is advisable to do the entire wall and also install a perimeter drainage system to prevent any water pressure from building up. Thank you very much for the information!!!
Regarding the facade:
I was told that a brick veneer is not really possible there. If I were to refresh the facade, should I probably also add insulation at the same time? What options are available for this?
Regarding the roof:
Should it be insulated from the inside? If so, what type of insulation would be sufficient?
