Hello everyone,
we have just received a tip from our municipality that you should already have the financing secured before deciding on a plot of land (VERY high demand).
Therefore, I want to briefly outline our current situation:
- Home savings contract €6k (total sum €100k; allocation from around €30k; payment = €400/month)
- Condominium (value approx. €120k; remaining debt approx. €50k; mortgage on the condominium; currently rented for €500 cold/month)
_______________________________________________________________
I would now assume about €75k that we have "saved" so far. However, since the majority is tied up in the apartment, the money cannot just be quickly withdrawn from the bank.
We plan to build a house in about 3 years. Currently, we still have the following expenses that will disappear/be paid off in 3 years:
- Car loan (€340)
- Repayment of home savings contract (€320)
_______________________________________________________________
€660 / month
Since the demand for plots of land is currently very high (Regensburg area, Bavaria), we are considering financing the plot in advance. The advantage would be that you already have a plot of land in 2-3 years and then only have to take care of building the house (with full flexibility regarding scheduling).
My question now is whether it makes more sense to take out a large loan for the plot + house (we are certainly talking about around €350-400k) or to finance the plot first and then the house.
- Will the bank do that...?
- We would be reluctant to sell the apartment because of the rental income. Of course, this means that we have hardly any quickly available equity...
- How can you best manage the two-part financing? I would probably use the money from the home savings contract to pay off the loan for the plot?
Please let me know if you need any further information.
