Hello, we recently purchased our plot of land and have two years until we need to start construction. Since we own a condominium, we want to take our time with the building process and plan everything carefully. A developer mentioned that it would be wise to start as soon as possible because energy efficiency regulations will become much stricter in 2016. In addition, building material costs are currently rising significantly. What do you think? Is the seller trying to pressure us without reason, or is he right? So far, we haven’t found a suitable floor plan or developer, and we still want to sell our apartment...

Although the KfW issue already plays a role for the senior loan condition = higher payout for the bank loan without subordinated KfW funds = higher interest rate.
By the way, you should never stress yourself out when building a house Could you please explain that in more detail?

Until December 31, 2015, you can choose whether to build according to the currently valid Energy Saving Ordinance or the "tightened" version that applies from January 1, 2016. The date of the building permit / planning permission application is decisive, not any documentation.

If construction starts in 2015 but is completed and documented only in 2016, does the old or the new standard apply? Does this mean you can choose?

Can you explain that to me in more detail? For banks, the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio is relevant for determining the loan conditions (and refinancing) = LTV ratio. Since KFW funds are always subordinated and the bank does not have to purchase this liquidity, these loans are not taken into account when determining loan conditions.
Example: Loan requested EUR 210,000 - Property value EUR 265,000 - Interest rate for mortgage loan (60% LTV): 2% - Interest rate at 80% LTV: 2.5% - KFW loan interest rate 1.0%
Option 1: Loan from the bank of EUR 210,000 = 2.5% interest on the entire loan
Option 2: KFW loan EUR 50,000 = 1.0% + bank loan EUR 160,000 = 2.0% = average interest rate significantly lower
