If I already pay these costs myself in advance and also pay the surveyor, then this is not financed, but my equity capital is also reduced as a result.
We had also already paid the costs before we completed the financing. The items were included in the calculation and considered as already used equity capital.
And additional purchase costs (such as the kitchen) were accepted in the calculation.
The kitchen was irrelevant to ING and was not considered by us at all. Only our own contribution for painting and flooring work was credited to us with approx. 10k.
However, our savings bank does not expect us to first use up our equity capital.
ING also pointed out to us during disbursements that we first have to apply equity capital. Strangely, however, they made almost all disbursements, that is, paid out almost the full amount. Only the last 15k is currently being withheld until the equity share is considered used.
