Is the argument correct to opt for a fixed interest rate period of 15 to 20 years rather when building new? Honestly, I didn't quite understand the context. The advisor was mainly concerned about delays during the construction phase...
This is simply a mathematical question - whether it's an old building, new construction, or renovation. How long does your entire repayment take, and what is your individual risk tolerance for a higher interest rate in the follow-up financing? He could have easily calculated for you up to which interest rate level 15 or 20 years would offer an advantage. In other words - if the interest rate after 10 years is 5% or higher, your bet probably didn't pay off. If the interest rate in 10 years for another 10 years is below the rates of your current 20-year financing, you have paid extra and must consider the higher interest rate of the first 10 years as an insurance premium. Then you cancel, refinance for 10 years, and then have better conditions.
Calculate it yourself, using the advisor's data. You cannot be generally advised here - except to ask yourself about your personal risk tolerance.
