But in the situation with an apartment, there can be no question of expanding the living space, except perhaps by adding a balcony or loggia (if any).
You are on your own

Of course, you need to adhere to the boundaries of decency and comply with current legislation, this is a matter of course. Otherwise, in a private house you are on your own. Do you want to build a bath on the site? No problem! What about a large barbecue area? This can be arranged too! It all depends on your desire and financial capabilities.
Garden
