Hi everyone,

I’m curious to know which prefab house manufacturer you worked with, and whether there was any room for negotiation. After the final cost is set, the price is usually just over €300,000 (only for the house itself). Is there still some flexibility? Maybe at least a 3% discount or something like that?

I’d be very interested to hear what you were able to negotiate.

Good luck

Most companies currently have more customers than usual (waiting times are generally increasing). Our neighbor had an upgrade to their heating system last month. Otherwise, there wasn’t even any discount like an early payment discount included...

Yes, they are all doing too well.

Everyone says, "The interest rates are low, now is the time to build." Complete nonsense. The benefit of low interest rates is more than offset by the outrageous land prices and the premium costs charged by builders. I actually don’t find building cheap at all right now, but expensive.

Not building is affordable; financing is what costs money. That is why building and buying are expensive.

Yes, you're right. So I guess I have to pay the list price.
