Hello everyone, I have also been following the forum for some time now and slowly I have to decide whether to build a house or not. I think you are exactly the right people to give me good advice.
The following initial situation:
Region: NRW, Hagen or Schwerte
People: wife (30), me (30) and son (1) family planning completed, 2 nearly new cars
Income: wife 30 hours and me full-time with child benefit = 3800€ net
Equity: 110,000€ = 75,000€
minus 25,000€ kitchen and furniture
minus 10,000€ reserve?
Own work: wall and floor coverings (except bathrooms and kitchen because of tiles), insulation (cut and stuff in this glass wool), lay underfloor heating
Monthly expenses as I imagine them: (if something is missing or too much, feel free to correct)
House: estimated
Loan: 800€ (approx. 240,000€)
Electricity: 90€
Gas: 140€
Water: 50€
Internet
Phone: 60€
TV
Cable fee: 6€
Garbage / property tax: 120€ estimated
Sewage
Insurances estimated
Household contents: 60€
Building insurance: 40€
Legal protection: 20€
Term life insurance: 24€
Liability: 10€
Food currently
Food and drink: 500€
Mobile phones: 70€
Fitness: 40€
Clothing and others: 300€
Savings: 200€
Cars currently
Insurances: 120€
Tax: 20€
Fuel: 200€
Repairs: 50€
---------
2850€
+ vacation 250€
=3100€
Land costs with us between 220€ and 300€
I think about 350 sqm should be enough, we are not blessed with a green thumb but a terrace with table and some lawn for a large paddling pool should definitely be there.
So you can reckon with about 100,000€ in my opinion.
So now, the question: what kind of house would I like:
Guest WC, wardrobe that is not visible, open kitchen, open living and dining area
Bathroom, bedroom, dressing room, children's room (should be at least 15 sqm), small office
Attic, basement or elsewhere, I would still like a room for weight bench, dryer, washing machine and maybe later a sauna
Garage or carport does not matter, main thing is a shelter and a parking space.
Now the question for you, is it possible or is it better to consider an existing property?
Thank you very much
