The bank loan is designed to fully utilize the 1A conditions.
I just don’t know if 4.29% is really good, but based on the offers I’ve seen so far, it fits quite well.
It is a KFW 124 loan, we had initially planned for KFW 70, but since we don’t want underfloor heating, a heat pump is almost ruled out as an option, and without that, in no opinion is the effort to qualify for KFW 70 greater than the benefit.
The KFW loan runs with a repayment rate of just under 6%, so after 10 years a little more than 20,000 EUR remain. I think we can still save that up in 10 years, or if there is a remainder, it can be refinanced. That should not be a problem because then the first part of the monthly burden will drop off.

I don’t want to nitpick, but have a look here

Program 124
Nominal interest (effective interest) per year Term Repayment-free start period Fixed interest period 3.95% (4.01%) 8 years 8 years 8 years 3.70% (3.75%) 20 years 3 years 5 years 4.05% (4.11%) 20 years 3 years 10 years 4.50% (4.58%) 20 years 3 years 15 years 3.70% (3.75%) 35 years 5 years 5 years 4.10% (4.16%) 35 years 5 years 10 years 4.60% (4.68%) 35 years 5 years 15 years
Repayment
After the repayment-free start years have expired, you pay back your loan in equal quarterly installments (annuities).
Prepayment
Unfortunately, prepayment is not possible. In individual cases, you can repay the entire outstanding loan amount in consultation with KfW against a prepayment penalty.
End quote
I don’t know if the repayment for KFW124 is fixed by the choice of total term of 20 or 35 years, the minimum number of repayment-free years of 1, and the level of the loan interest rate.
A freely negotiable repayment rate of KfW 2; 3; 4; or 6% does not exist to my knowledge.
Kind regards
