Dear forum members,
We purchased an apartment from a developer and are now approaching the handover. Some time ago, we pointed out that the handle of the stairwell window is positioned too high for us to reach, preventing us from using the window (see photo, taken a few weeks ago).
The developer has now offered to install a powered window opener at their expense (see second photo), allowing us to open and close the window with a remote control. The window would then open sideways about 50cm (20 inches). The wall would also need to be re-cut to install the electrical wiring for the window motor, which of course will create a lot of dust again.
What are your experiences with such powered window openers? Are there any major disadvantages?
How would you decide – install the powered opener or leave it as is?
Thank you very much for your advice!

Additional information from the green forum – there, "Der Baulaie" asked: the window in question is easily accessible from the outside for burglars; the apartment is a split-level on the ground floor/lower ground floor, with the window located above the staircase going down.

You can also see that in the first photo.However, all our windows have only the lowest resistance class RC1N. So whoever wants to get in will get in anyway...
