I currently have an offer that already includes quite a few additional costs:
- Development costs (the plot is fully serviced)
- Commission (not applicable)
- Application fees (except for the carport)
- Utility connections
Basically, the statement is turnkey except for:
- Painting / carpet installation
-> The ceilings are not skim coated, but the walls in all rooms have a fine plaster finish Q2.
-> Additionally, the bathrooms, kitchen, hallway, and basement corridor will already be tiled.
- Exterior landscaping (desired: standard terrace, mostly lawn, some kind of privacy screen on the sides)
- Double carport
My question is what average costs I should expect for these items. I understand that it’s not possible to give an exact figure, but a range of about ±10,000 euros would be sufficient (if that is at least possible).
The following areas apply:
- Plot: approximately 450m² (about 4844 sq ft) for exterior landscaping
- Living spaces: approximately 80m² (about 861 sq ft)
- Bathroom/kitchen: approximately 30m² (about 323 sq ft)
On which amount is the property transfer tax / notary fees actually charged? Only on the finished part or also on the remaining work for which I am currently asking about the costs?
I would also appreciate any other tips (e.g., whether I am approaching this matter correctly).

Thank you for the detailed additional responses. There are quite a few points mentioned that I hadn’t considered, but luckily some are already included in the building specification (e.g., entrance platform or electric shutters).
However, this has made me a bit uncertain, so I would like to share the building specification here for a quick review. Maybe you could tell me what is definitely missing and what I should question (only if anyone feels like it, as it’s a few pages. That would be really kind of you 🙂)
