Hello!
The house planning is slowly approaching, as the house comes before the children planning. I would appreciate the assessment of people who have already gone through everything.
Here is the financial situation:
Current expenses:
Rent, electricity, phone & internet, GEZ 475 €
Food and daily necessities 300 €
Car A 1% rule -- €
Car B 280 €
Fixed costs 1124 €
Net income A 1330 €
Net income B 2050 €
Total income 3380 €
(Both still tax declaration. 1)
Surplus 2256 €
Then there is still what you need for living otherwise, occasionally eating out, clothes, etc.
Currently, we save between 1500€ and 2000€ per month.
We plan to have 2 children (not yet existing)
The income will increase by about 2000€ (net) in about 2 years.
Then construction should also start roughly at that time.
The house should be between 150 and 180 m² in size. Without a basement, without frills.
We don’t need a garage either, a carport is enough.
The garden should also be simple, so that the lawn mower robot can get through well!
Plots cost here in the countryside between 50 and 100k€.
Attached is a plan (approx. 160sqm).
I have taken a house with a floor plan that we like and altered it a bit with Photoshop. It can also simply be a cube; the floor plan does not have to be offset. Please don’t pay too much attention to the details; that still has to mature. But the layout of the rooms should be roughly like this. Guest room = fitness room.
We don’t need the balcony.
The house is in Bauhaus style, as I am quite tall and don’t like sloped ceilings that much.
KFW 55 would be desirable, also residential ventilation with heat recovery.
And underfloor heating! Mandatory!
The house should be built largely without own work, painting, laying floors, etc. I can do myself.
A relatively low rate of about 1200€ per month is planned. We prefer to save the remaining money on the side to have a financial buffer. If everything goes well, special repayments should be made with it, or used in the follow-up financing after ~15 years. The term may be 30-35 years.
It is to be expected that the interest rates will be very low, as all business accounts are also run through the same bank.
Unfortunately, I can hardly estimate what a house of this size costs.
I have roughly estimated:
House 300,000€
Plot 80,000€
Additional costs: 35,000€
Is this a realistic plan?
