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

The kitchen is 3.31 m (10 feet 10 inches) wide and 3.54 m (11 feet 7 inches) high.

Why shouldn’t it be allowed? The only height restriction I know from the development plan is the 8m (26 feet) ridge height.Here in Bavaria, something like this would definitely be a deviation from the Bavarian building regulations. Which building code applies in your area?W

Is the width of the kitchen sufficient for you?We have just over 2.90 m (9.5 feet) in width, a depth just under 4 m (13 feet), and we installed a U-shaped layout. The width is definitely sufficient. However, I would skip the doorway from the hallway, as it really takes up valuable space in the kitchen.The shower could be longer, and the wardrobe in the bedroom can be custom-designed to fit under the sloped ceiling. The bed can also be placed under the sloped ceiling.
BUT: do not build a bathroom above the living area! Use common waste pipes for the bathrooms! Blue over blue!
What else do you want the architect to come up with?

motorradsilke9 Feb 2023 05:13I find the children's rooms too small. You have more space for sleeping and dressing than the kids have for their entire lives. Children need space to play, for friends, and so on. 12 sq m (130 sq ft) is acceptable, but in such a large house, I would definitely give the kids more space.
