Hello everyone,
my probation period ends tomorrow and I will directly enter a permanent contract, and my girlfriend and I have been "toying" with the idea of buying/building a house for a while now. We have already been to my house bank but have not yet obtained a concrete offer; the advisor's statement was only "we can manage that here," but I am always a bit skeptical about that.
I am 28, my girlfriend/partner is 26.
I just graduated (8 months ago) as a process engineering engineer with currently 52,000 gross or about 2300€ net (37.5h/week).
She is an educator with about 1650€ net (39h/week). Both tax class 1.
Within the next 6 years, I will earn at least 63,540€ (without holiday and Christmas bonuses), depending on tariff increases. She will have about 1750€ net from July/August next year.
Both are permanently employed.
We currently live in an 80m² apartment and pay 800€ warm per month. Our last electricity consumption was 1700 kWh, despite flow heaters in the bathroom and kitchen.
Monthly, each of us pays about 200€ into the account for groceries. Sometimes we spend a bit more, sometimes less.
Fuel costs are around 100€ per month for me due to a long commute, which I partly get back through tax returns. For her, about 20€/month.
Together, monthly expenses for liability and household insurance amount to 23.39€.
My car costs 80€/month (SFK 1/2, so this will decrease in the coming years).
She pays about 30€ per month.
Accident insurance costs me 40€ per month.
As equity, we currently only have what is intended to be put into the house.
However, as long as nothing concrete happens, we are slowly saving up.
Basically, we initially wanted to buy something finished, but the market here (area postal codes: 41515/41352/41363) currently seems overheated for real estate. That is why we are now much more inclined to build ourselves.
Living space of about 140m² without cellar (gable roof) and 350m² of land is completely sufficient for us.
So far, we have been to Helma, Viebrockhaus, and Okal Haus, but further appointments are still pending. We have almost ruled out Viebrockhaus.
Overall, we want to stay under 400,000€ for land, house, additional building costs, etc. However, we would like KFW40/40+ with air/water heat pump.
For the monthly repayment, we had set 1000€-1100€ excluding ancillary costs with annual one-off payments in the range of 5000€ (Christmas bonus) with an interest rate fixed at about 2.5% for 20 years.
Does that sound realistic and feasible?
Thank you very much for the feedback
Best regards
Eric
