Hi everyone,

this year we are finally starting with the house construction. Currently, financing is on our agenda. We have been recommended the Sparda Bank by an independent financial advisor. The terms suit us (almost). However, one thing in the contract still makes me very suspicious.



The ESIS information sheet also lists a repayment schedule showing 13 interest installments of 990 euros starting from 30.01.2025. It is written quite clearly that this is how it is. Until now, I had assumed that you only pay interest on the loan amount that you have actually drawn. That was also what our financial advisor said - she said she could take away our fear, that it always says something like this. We have not had direct contact with the bank yet.

Did you have similar clauses in your contract? In a search, I found a thread where a similar passage was stated, but it was phrased as follows:



For me, it makes no sense to pay 13 interest installments totaling almost 13,000 euros on the full loan amount, which we will only draw little by little.

Maybe there is no free provision period. Then the interest would simply apply to everything you have drawn and what you have not drawn.

You are probably right. I remember that at the beginning it was suggested to us to split the loan into two. The first loan would have a grace period of 12 months without commitment interest, the second one 18 months. We wanted one loan and presumably there was a misunderstanding and the entire commitment interest-free period was removed. I have now checked the documents again and indeed nothing is mentioned there. Thank you very much for the hint, we probably need to address this again.

Put the passages from the contract in. It will be a standard contract from DG Verlag, right?

- You only pay interest on the amount already disbursed. That is the nominal interest rate.
- In addition, you pay commitment interest, which has nothing to do with the nominal interest rate, on the amount not drawn down.

We also recently financed with Sparda, 12 months of interest-free availability period. Can only recommend the bank so far

Also financed through Sparda Bank and it was stated exactly the same with us.

After a phone call with Sparda, this was clarified. Only interest on the already drawn funds will be paid.
