Ok, thanks for the additional information. But then the question really arises whether you will get 250k from the bank with an estimated value of 200k... with estimated modernization costs of 60k, the price currently being discussed is rather too high than too low.

Including the land? Where is it? Who estimated it?

So you have just started earning money. How urgent is it with the house? Do the parents really want to sell now? Do they need the money?

Actually, you’re at the right age to start a family. That’s why I think the idea is great. But you can also fall flat on your face (even later, but the older you get, the more stable the relationship usually is) and such a mega project is existential then. How about wedding, kids, tralala?

Yes, or don’t you even feel like blowing the first salaries on consumption and long-distance travel?

They are 24/25, have hardly earned any money yet, and suddenly the house has to be bought immediately.

How did you actually envision the ownership arrangements? I read here unmarried, young, your parental home which is actually worth more (=gift) ... lots of potential for conflict.

Always only negative comments, always pointing the moral compass at "I show you the way."

The fact is: You get the money.

The ownership structures, parental leave and the resulting burden, check that, calculate it for yourselves. We Germans should be much bolder when it comes to acquiring property, but in my mid-20s I was not that far yet.

No one disputes that they get the money.
I think the background of all the questions asked is rather meant to make you think:
Do I want to take out an ~110% financing in my early to mid-20s, living in a "common-law marriage," which will last longer than I have currently spent on the face of the Earth?
