What drives the price
- The plot: in Tunari, 350–450 m² is the standard for detached houses; under 300 m² usually means semi-detached or terraced houses.
- The structure: reinforced concrete and brick cost more than aerated concrete blocks or a lightweight frame, but they last a lifetime and keep noise out.
- Insulation and windows: 15 cm of polystyrene and triple glazing with a TPA thermoplastic spacer mean low bills every winter.
- Heating: a heat pump costs more to buy than a gas boiler, but it does away with gas and lowers the monthly cost.
- Finishes: standard or premium; the difference depends on the options you choose.
- Stage: a finished house is one you see exactly as it is and can move into straight away; it is paid in full when the contract is signed, from your own funds or with a mortgage.
- How you buy: directly from the developer or through an agency.
What to check before you sign
Papers in order (cadastral registration and land-book entry for the house and the plot), the building permit and the handover certificate, utilities connected and contracts in your name after the purchase, a finished street with lighting, an energy certificate, and written warranties for the structure and the equipment.
Mortgage: what is the monthly payment?
Banks usually ask for a down payment of 15–25%. At €211,750 with VAT and a 25% down payment, you finance about €159,000. The mortgage calculator on this site starts from the price without VAT, so it shows a smaller amount financed and a lower monthly payment; use it as a starting point for your own interest rate and term.
