How you can save lots of money with state subsidies when building your house. From KfW subsidies for newly built homes in Germany to funding for construction supervision and subsidised granny flats.

Building subsidies

Let’s be honest. Building a house costs a lot money – whether it’s a solid house or a prefabricated house. However, in order to keep costs under control, we’ll tell you which subsidies are available for building your house and how you can make the best use of the subsidies available.

With a Hanse Haus prefabricated house you can receive attractive KfW subsidies for your newly built home by taking simple steps. Subsidy levels KfW 55, KfW 40 and KfW 40 Plus can be achieved depending on the energy efficiency standard of the home.

Efficiency houses

Through the Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW), the German government subsidises energy-efficient houses with low-interest loans over 100,000 euros per residential unit, and with repayment subsidies in various amounts.

We will explain what subsidy levels KfW 55, KfW 40 and KfW 40 Plus mean, and how you can obtain the best available KfW funding for your energy-efficient house with a prefabricated Hanse Haus home.

Build a prefabricated house with granny flat and take immediate advantage of two separate KfW subsidies.

Separate flats

The Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau’s subsidy for the construction of energy-efficient houses applies to each residential unit in a house.

So if you build a second separate residential unit in your house, a so-called granny flat, you can take advantage of both the favourable loan and the repayment subsidy a second time.

So instead of the low-interest loan of 100,000 euros you will receive twice as much – a low-interest loan of 200,000 euros.

KfW’s repayment subsidy pays up to 30,000 euros (for KfW Efficiency House 40 Plus).

My tip

“With a Hanse Haus with granny flat, you benefit from more than just the KfW subsidy. If you rent out the flat, you can deduct the building and financing costs, as well as the maintenance costs, from your taxes. That saves you a lot of money and provides more flexibility with the financing.”

The Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau promotes planning and construction supervision by an expert in energy efficiency with a KfW subsidy of up to 4,000 euros

And another tip as an aside:

At Hanse Haus not only is energy efficiency a top priority – our sales partners and architects also provide assistance during the entire construction process of your prefabricated house, from the application for a building permit to the measurement of the airtightness of your prefabricated house after assembly.
