Hello everyone,
I know no one has a crystal ball here, but I would still like to hear your opinions:
We have just purchased a plot of land in Hesse, currently live cheaply, and have no urgent time pressure to build (although sooner is always better), except for the 5-year building obligation required by the municipality, which, however, can be extended by 1-2 years for justified reasons. We have slowly started planning and would like to possibly have the completed plans along with the building permit for our new single-family home ready to go, so we can react relatively quickly.
My assessment is that construction prices and interest rates will change little in 2023, even if they might stabilize at a high level. How 2024 or 2025 will look, of course, no one knows. But what is your feeling:
1. Rush the planning and possibly take advantage of a small "interest dip" in 2023 for financing and start with the belief that neither interest rates nor prices will significantly fall in the medium term, and waiting is just lost time.
2. Plan completely calmly, continue to build up equity, and assume that conditions for a new build may improve by the end of 2024 or possibly 2025.
If things become more concrete soon, I would be happy to provide more information for planning and share your feedback.
I welcome any questions and opinions 🙂
Best regards

hanghaus20238 Feb 2023 11:20The elevations are drawn quite optimistically. The road has a 1 m (3.3 ft) slope.
At what level is the basement/cellar located?
Is there a section with height indications?
Any details on terrain landscaping?
Planning the house without the exterior work on the slope???
For those who can afford the basement. 😎

Actually, we are still missing that certain “architect’s touch” that would make our house stand out from the typical catalog home.That is as unnecessary as a neck lump, to quote Grandpa Willy—an entirely pointless move with no real value. Avoiding the appearance of a three-family house (which is also absolutely not a dealbreaker) would be more important to me than avoiding the look of a catalog home.Dachshund90 schrieb:
Would it be possible to submit the building permit / planning permission application for the garage later or separately, and position the garage closer to the street on the west side, beyond the building boundary, then move the house further north?Saturday or Sunday—I don’t see any difference.

Avoiding the appearance of a three-family- Is there a suggestion for that as well? Would rearranging the windows be enough?

Saturday or Sunday – I don’t see a difference there. I don’t follow. Would the proposal not be a completely different layout of the house and garage on the plot, and possibly a solution to the issue of the terrace being too close to the boundary?

Are there any details about the terrain modeling?
Planning the house without considering the external landscaping on the slope??? Thank you for the questions; all of these definitely need to be clarified. So far, however, this is "only" a preliminary draft and does not include this information.
