HI @reef-finance ,
Met the architects tonight and some extra info about the options, their reasoning and what they advise:
-
Reasoning behind the price of 350 euro/m2 for the private gardens => they are rather big surfaces, the total price of the private garden would be too high if you apply the price of land + notary costs
-
Reasoning behind the ‘obligatory terraces’: they are cheaper to build than the non obligatory terraces, why is the selling price the same => because they are private outdoor spaces. Only in the case of the top unit in Idefix, where the surface is quite big, they would go for a lower price/m2. For this latter: same argument as for the private gardens: the total price of that obligatory terrace would be too high
-
Recommendations by the architects:
-
private gardens (behind Idefix): 350 euro/m2
-
private terrace on ground level (1 bedroom Obelix): obliged, same price as terraces on other levels, minimum size of 6 m2
-
private cellars: construction cost + VAT + fees
-
terraces (obligatory and non obligatory) except for the one on top floor idefix: building cost of ‘non-obligatory terrace’+ VAT + fees
-
parking: 20.000 (In Spiegel, where there were carports, they sold them at 17,000 euro. In Brutopia (underground protected parking) somebody recently sold one at 25,000)

I asked again if we cannot negociate about the obligatory private terrace for the ground level units (without private garden) , there is one unit, the 1 bedroom in obelix on the ground level. They said the commune/region won’t accept it, it’s clearly mentioned in the report of the last meeting with them (see post). They don’t think the argument of cohousin/big common garden will work. The minimal surface should be around 6m2.
