You are thinking way too complicated ;)
if you don’t want to pay any closing fee for the home savings contract etc., and possibly after that another discount.
I would do it completely differently:
Take the 120,000€ from KFW in the normal way, once it is renovated, there is a repayment grant of 42,000€
if you pay 400-500€ monthly, the remaining debt after 10 years is manageable, so 25,000-35,000€, depending on circumstances you could have saved that amount by then. So this part can be completely paid off in 10 years. No annoying closing costs for the home savings contract etc.
I would do the rest over 20 years, with a monthly payment of 250-350€ + BUT 5% prepayment option. That is 4000€ per year. You wouldn’t use that at all in the first 10 years, but start using it from the 11th year (KfW is gone!), and thus have the loan paid off in 20 years.
In the optimal case, you get a repayment switch included for the 80,000€, then you can increase the rate + prepayment.
In the end, make an Excel sheet with the costs like interest, closing fees etc. and calculate several models. Where I end up paying the least for the 200,000€, with a 750€ monthly burden, I simply choose that...
At the end of the day, if you manage to make a 2500€ prepayment every year in the first 10 years or save that money, then you can also repay the 200,000€ in 18-19 years!
