We are still pondering whether we might have taken on too much. When building the house, we just don’t want to compromise on anything...
Plot: 1200 sqm, available, we got it from my parents
Planned costs for building a detached house, upscale standard with pool, sauna: €800,000
Equity: €150,000
Financing amount: approx. €650,000
Age: 28, 32
Children planned: No, definitely do not want any
Occupation: Teacher (both civil servants)
Net income: I €4350, she €3650. Total: approx. €8000
- ongoing expenses approx. €1500-2000 (private health insurance considered)
- savings rate (we do have a good pension but are reluctant to give this up): €1500
= surplus €4500-5000
Set repayment: €3500 over 15-20 years. This is significantly lower than our current savings rate (approx. €5500-6500), so easily manageable.
Is this realistic or better to save more equity, wait with building, or something like that?
