A financing with more flexibility in repayment was concluded.

Talk to your current bank about your reasons why you might want to change the financing (inflexibility in lowering the repayment rate) and whether something can still be done (e.g. freezing the repayment rate for 3 years but then it can also be lowered, or something like that).

Otherwise, I would look for alternatives; a 30-year fixed interest rate under the mentioned conditions would not be an option for me.

I can confirm, children cost a "ton of money" :) We are glad to have had the first child before building the house at least.

Why are you only now calculating with one salary less? Is the "family planning" new? You surely already thought about this with the existing financing?

We have been calculating with one less income all along. We are probably hyper cautious about it. But that is also because in our circle of friends and acquaintances, there are enough people for whom the financing fell through.

We actually always thought it made sense to build the house first, then have the children ;)

Our house construction project started before the birth. Construction began shortly after the birth. I definitely cannot recommend that.

We also started building after the birth (1.5 years) and it has "only" one advantage: You know the costs...

Otherwise, with a child during planned parental leave, it is very, very difficult and you have to be able to rely on your surroundings. I would do it differently today, but it's no longer possible :)

If you don't take any parental leave, then I would definitely start building after the birth, because then you know and see other aspects both financially and in terms of planning.

1.5 years is not after the birth :) We also know people who started building the house during pregnancy and practically "at the birth." Wouldn't do that again. Our daughter is almost exactly 2 when the construction started. I think that fits. Although we have zero [EL] anyway.

edit: my [EL] should be limited to smart remarks :cool:
