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 it supposed to be like the layout shown? Then there would be 60 cm (24 inches) on the right, 60 cm (24 inches) on the left, and 210 cm (83 inches) in the middle.Well, we haven’t bought the kitchen yet and are open regarding that. It would be great if the floor plan allows flexibility, so we could take advantage of a showroom kitchen or special offers.hanghaus2023 schrieb:
Here in Bavaria, something like this would probably be a deviation from the Bavaria building regulations. Which building regulations apply to you?Hesseypg schrieb:
The shower could be longer, plan the wardrobe in the bedroom individually under the sloped ceiling. The bed under the slope. BUT: don’t build a bathroom above the living area! Use shared waste pipes for the bathrooms! Blue over blue! What else are you expecting as a tip from the architect?Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind. Are you referring to placing the bed or the wardrobe under the slope? Both can’t fit there… or do you mean the dressing area?motorradsilke schrieb:
I think the children’s rooms are too small.We agree, that’s already noted. We are happy to give up some space in the bedroom and give it to the children. We’ll see how feasible that is, as it also depends on the ground floor layout.X

I think the kids’ rooms are too small. You have more space for sleeping and dressing than the children have for their entire lives. Kids need space to play, to have friends over, and so on. 12 m² (130 sq ft) is possible, but in such a large house, I would give the kids more space.Yes. It’s easy to forget or overlook that children don’t stay 1.10 m (3 ft 7 in) tall their whole lives and, at a certain age, want a reasonably sized desk and maybe even a small sofa… or at least an armchair so they don’t always have to sit on the bed. Sometimes they’ll have two friends visiting as well…

hanghaus20239 Feb 2023 11:42I quote the Hessian Building Code:
In the building setback areas and adjacent to a building without its own setback area, the following are permitted:
Garages including storage rooms at a neighboring property boundary up to a total length of 9 meters (30 feet), including roof overhangs; above ground level, the average height of the wall facing the boundary must not exceed 3 meters (10 feet), and the area of this wall must not be larger than 20 square meters (215 square feet),
