Hello.
We are new to this field and are undecided between buying an existing property or a prefabricated house (solid construction).
Currently, the houses from different providers are listed on various real estate platforms, advertised as including the plot and turnkey delivery. It is clear that the prices stated are not realistic. The question is where the actual costs end up. Is it around 100,000 more? We need a 4-room house with at least 160 square meters (1722 square feet) plus a garage, and our budget is 570,000. In your opinion, is this feasible, even with somewhat higher-end finishes and more than 2 electrical outlets per room? ;-)
Good luck

But the fact remains: it’s a house and you can live in it Unfortunately, money was too easily available in recent years, so while the desires of recent years still exist, the possibilities no longer do.

Nobody is really "complaining" about TuC, TM, etc. No one is complaining. It is just being pointed out that additional optional features increase the cost. Nowadays, for most people, it has to be a double garage, a walk-in shower, 80 x 80 cm (32 x 32 inches) tiles. Upgrading to a 300-liter (79-gallon) tank for five people makes sense. But everyone wants what looks great on Pinterest.
There is quite a difference between installing a small emergency shower in the corner of a 3 m² (32 ft²) guest bathroom and having a wall that requires a walk-in shower. Whether there is still enough room to move around, I doubt.
I refer to the current floor plan discussions, where many rooms are requested. I don’t understand how you can skip a cloakroom or sufficient storage space just because a flat hip roof on a city villa is an absolute must. Nor do I get why an excess of square meters is accepted automatically. They then make two large children’s bedrooms while downstairs everything is bursting at the seams. You can easily live with five people in 150 m² (1,615 ft²) if you design the house accordingly. But apparently, planning is only based on what others have and what looks good on Instagram. The attic conversion, which was normal 40 or 50 years ago, is now considered old-fashioned. For me, if the plot allows it (and it does in the threads mentioned), the better choice for just two or even five people is not to build a city villa, but to design the upper floor with only two-thirds or three-quarters of the ground floor area.
