I guess there are lots of threads about this, but every question can't be required to be a new one. Plus, it's my first post ;-)
My partner and I are thinking about building new.
We really feel drawn to a stucco house, although the motivation is quite weak from both of us, "it looks exclusive," but how is it practically with the differences, advantages/disadvantages, price differences, etc.? Can you use a stucco facade everywhere etcetera etcetera....
Then I wonder if anyone has negative experiences with a leasehold plot?
Thanks in advance.

Recognize the thought process, we've been there too!
The advantages of plaster/concrete are quite many, that's why we chose concrete.
- With the right technique, you get a very energy-efficient house.
- Think about how nice it will be on your patio when your neighbor repaints their wooden house in about 6 years.
- It's stylish!! Very important!!
- We chose to buy concrete walls from Hedared Sand & Betong, it was the most profitable for us.
When considering the disadvantages, it's mainly the price at the time of construction, because if you spread it over 10-15 years, it's probably about the same money...
Some municipalities don't think the houses blend in with the community image...
When it comes to building on a leased plot, there are both advantages and disadvantages...
The advantage is, well, a lower tax value...
The disadvantages are more.
- You need to secure a long lease agreement...
- The bank isn't too keen on providing construction credit since you can't mortgage the plot...
- It's quite nice not to be dependent on a plot owner...

Johann, you shouldn't apologize for starting a new thread, even if you could search a bit first...
Puts no doubt - the look is crucial for us. Why would that reasoning be weak? Puts has the disadvantage that damage can occur more easily than on wood, a chip comes off, but how often does that happen? It's also easy to repair. Otherwise, I perceive that the color holds better on puts. I would recommend a white/gray solution so you don't have to wonder if the bright blue puts looks a bit pale after the summer...
Here's where I think the difference shows the most:
compared to
admittedly different architecture but it's definitely nicer with puts

Taste is subjective, but I think wood is a bit too Svensson-like. Does anyone know what the plastering surcharge would be on a standard wooden house? It might not matter much in the end considering the value increase?!
Good morning!
Thanks for the response.. found the house we are going to build! It turns out just right!
So a new question... I'm wondering if it's possible to apply plaster afterwards on a wooden house, i.e., panel, since we would only gain aesthetically, but as I said, that's the most important for us. It's about us probably not being able to afford plastering during the new build.

We had to pay about 100,000:- for a plastered facade. However, not on the gable ends. That would cost an additional 50,000:-.kalleanka70 said:
It is still a matter of taste, but a plastered house is valued higher than a wooden house, all else being equal, at least according to my realtor.KarlXII said:
If a buyer wants a wooden house, then he wants that and does not consider plaster to be an added value, but if you turn to the large group of buyers today, I believe the plaster pays off in terms of value increase and maintenance. I very much believe that the plaster can increase the price by 200 tkr.

I can't see any added value in a plastered wooden house where the plaster is an additional layer among many in a wooden wall (plaster + wooden panel + plastic + insulation + gypsum, etc...). Plaster on brick or other mineral building material, however, has value for me - it's a heavy and relatively homogeneous construction that accumulates heat well and is not as sensitive to moisture (compared to a wooden construction). Not needing to repaint the plastered facade in the near future (maybe 10-20 years) is a plus, but I wouldn't want to pay 200k extra just for that 
. A plastered wooden house is still a wooden house for me that pretends to be a brick house.

Gaia - I fully agree with you on this, when I talk plaster, it has to be stone at the base, like Ytong. For new houses, it seems foolish to put plaster on wood, but there are many old houses with reed and newspaper in the walls, and there it might be a good idea if you want to spruce it up a bit.
Hello Kalleanka!
If you mean those old plastered wooden houses, of course, you should keep and repair the lime plaster on them.
Currently, I am sitting in a 60-year-old plastered brick house. We hope it will be some time before it looks really worn out.
I think building wooden houses requires more knowledge and precision + proper maintenance, and it also offers more opportunities to make disastrous mistakes compared to, say, ytong houses. That's why we chose a brick house when we were buying old - not disappointed yet. It's hard to say if we paid more than for a similar wooden house. In any case, we felt it was a less risky purchase . There is probably no "real plaster fungus" that can eat up the walls ;D.
