General Information about the Property:

Necessary Loan Details:
(for multiple components, specify for all components, for multiple variants please distinguish clearly):
Explanations about our situation:
We consulted Dr. Klein to find out what we can afford and whether we can get a loan.
Due to our jobs, the financial advisor was sure it would work up to 400,000 €, of course depending on the house.
We are searching within a 35 km radius around Düsseldorf. Then we found a nice house. It looks very nice from the outside and the location is perfect for us (cul-de-sac, play street). We would have been willing to pay the purchase price.
Both Deutsche Bank and National Bank rejected because of the horrendous valuation. According to this Metterschmidt? valuation program, the house is worth 295,000 €. We cannot cover the gap with equity.
Now the broker referred us to another financial advisor who made us the above offer. I was horrified right away and with the expensive house I am not willing to pay for an expensive loan as well.
Apparently, we cannot afford the house.
Another financial advisor who immediately said after 5 minutes of conversation that we cannot represent this house with our equity advised us to build a house.
We could pay the incidental purchase costs from the equity; the additional construction costs would be financeable through the loan.
Now my question: Is that so?
How do you assess our chances?
We firmly expected that our jobs and our legal good income and no other loans would be positive for the banks. Apparently not as much as hoped. Maybe also because of the corona situation?
The financial advisor who advised us to buy said we can afford house costs including land up to 350,000 €. Since we want at least 400 sqm of land and detached, we are looking in the Mönchengladbach, Viersen, Krefeld, Moers, Duisburg region. There you can get a plot for around 100,000 € with luck.
Now my question:
Is it worth continuing to inform ourselves about building a house? Or do you consider this a lost cause here?
Regarding existing properties: the prices here in the region are absolutely insane at the moment. Of course for a long time, but since December last year it has increased again. Since we do not want a very small plot and preferably detached, there is hardly anything on the market. Those that are offered are overpriced (and are valued much lower by the banks). So again begins the spiral of our dream house, which I described above...
Can we even afford a house?? What do you think?
If questions come up like "why so little equity?"
I have only been earning money for just under 2 years. Took too long for my education/studies. My husband also did not earn that much from the start, we lived in Düsseldorf and not in asceticism. We traveled and had expensive hobbies, a big wedding, BAföG repayment (we no longer lead this lifestyle, so a change is not necessary or questionable).
I look forward to your answers!
