Good evening everyone,

for us, the time has finally come and our development plan (commissioned by ourselves) has been approved by the city council. Therefore, we are now moving on to the planning of the house and the financing. We would like to hear your opinion on the feasibility of our project.

General information about you:

    [*]Who are you? W and M, wedding planned for this year
    [*]How old are you? w28 and m32
    [*]Do you have children? none yet
    [*]Are children planned? 2
    [*]What do you do for a living? She is a planning engineer TGA, he is a project manager in automation technology (job change to IT/OT field)
    [*]Are you employed, self-employed, retired, housewife, househusband, etc...? both employed
    [*]How many hours do you work? She 40, he from July 38

Income and asset situation:

    [*]What income do you have (gross/net)? She 2,400€ net, he 2,300€, from July she 2,600€ net, he 3,200€ net due to job change (tendency rising due to advancement opportunities and collective agreement)
    [*]How much child benefit do you receive? -
    [*]Other transfer payments such as parental allowance, sickness benefit, etc...? -
    [*]How much equity do you have? Equity (approx. 37,500€) was invested in the development plan’s preparation. (Details see previous thread). As a result, we now own 2 building plots, one of which is to be sold after the 10-year period expires and used for repayment. Through special payments and savings, another 15-20K can probably be saved in the next 1.5 years. There is still 6,500€ in investments as a buffer.

House construction costs a bit low at 350,000, rather think in the direction of 400,000. I think with the salaries the whole thing is doable... Only with parental leave does it get a bit tighter...

350,000€ for 150 sqm including a luxury garage is quite ambitious. The ancillary building costs do not include the earthworks, or have you already factored those in here? Are the 30,000€ development costs based on a concrete offer or have they already been incurred? If 700 sqm is already being used just for green strips and driveway, it could be a bit more expensive. 15,000€ for outdoor facilities... might work if you are only calculating material, but it also might not. With a long driveway, you are really saving money on gravel and paving, even if you do everything yourself. From a certain scale, quite a bit of money is also required for rental machines. Since it definitely won’t be enough for the double garage with workshop, better plan for a garden shed as well. The notary will also charge a considerable fee when you register your mortgage. This point has been overlooked so far. I also don’t quite understand how much of the property you already own. A variable loan is listed in the costs for this, but no remaining debt is specified. Regarding the issue of affordability of the installment... currently a 400€ installment corresponds to about 100k credit that is repaid within a reasonable time. With 550, you end up with an installment of 2,200€. Add to that the ancillary costs for the house and you have spent almost half of the income. This can be done with 5,800€, but it doesn’t have to be. Parental leave will then also be problematic. Theoretically, you could also stretch it a bit and choose a smaller rate, on the other hand interest rates are rising and I would rather calculate conservatively as long as the loan is not finalized.
