Hello house building forum,
I have been reading the various posts here in the forum for some time now and thought I should finally register.
I am currently in the rough planning/idea-finding phase, considering the sense and nonsense of creating our own home. Until recently, I did not want to build, but the idea keeps growing and growing.
Before I throw myself into this adventure, I would like to gather various opinions (friends, acquaintances,... [Hausbau-Forum]) about my plan.
About my situation:
I have a plot of land in prospect. Cost: €60,000 incl. all additional costs. Regarding the house, I imagine a small single-family house with 115-120 m² + basement. After extensive research and meetings with construction companies (no concrete offer yet, only rough calculations) a turnkey price would be about €170,000 - 180,000.
Thus, I assume total costs of €270,000. (€60k land, €180k house, €30k additional costs). However, this is calculated completely without own contribution. So there is still a buffer, as we will do some things ourselves.
The outdoor facilities,... will then be created later by ourselves. So I will leave that aside for now.
Now to the actual thing, the financing:
Currently, we have about €80,000 in equity. (scattered everywhere: building society savings contracts, regular account, real estate funds, stocks, savings plans,...)
Including a safety buffer, €200,000 would have to be financed.
After deducting ALL daily living expenses I can pay off AT LEAST €1,000 per month. As I said, at least. Normally it is more, but you should always assume the worst case. Until today I have not been to a bank to ask whether this is possible.
First, I wanted to hear a neutral opinion from you.
Thanks for your help.
Regards
Kwa
