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

Is there any suggestion for this as well? Will rearranging the windows be sufficient? For example, I would make the window in the hobby room match the one in the utility room and install an undivided fixed window in the dining area.

I don’t follow. My comment referred to the separation of the garage building application.

Is something like this allowed according to the building permit / planning permission?

This will change anyway, as there will also be an access to the garden from the hobby room. Regarding the dining area, I like your idea and will plan for a somewhat larger or undivided window.

My comment referred to the separation of the garage construction application. So, does that mean yes, it is possible?

Is something like this allowed according to the development plan / zoning regulations? Why shouldn’t it be allowed? As far as I know, the maximum permitted height according to the development plan is only the 8 m (26 feet) ridge height.

Do you mean from post 104? The measurements given are quite inaccurate. The room is probably about 3.2 x 3.2 m (10.5 x 10.5 ft)? The width is actually sufficient... maybe even too wide, since there is no space for an island, and the walkway from right to left would then be too large.
