(Rough calculation: €400k loan at 0.9% effective interest results after 30 years in ~€28k residual debt and ~€60k paid interest, of which 3% is €1,800. Then the broker would come in at 40
Oh, I forgot to mention the assumed monthly rate of €1,200 in the previous post.
(In any case, the €1,800 interest difference over 30 years in the above example corresponds to a difference of 0.025 percentage points, meaning that instead of 0.9% effective interest, I could have gotten an interest rate of 0.875% from the bank and would need to find a fee-based advisor who wants less than €1,800.)
So you pay up to €22k for contract brokerage of €400k? That’s crazy... personally, without real knowledge of the matter, I consider that disproportionately easy money! It’s like printing money...
Besides, in the above example that’s more than a third of the bank’s profit from the interest payment?!? WOW ops:

So then it looks completely different. If instead of €60k interest, I only had to pay €38k, I would be at an effective interest rate of 0.61%.
From the saved €22k, an independent fee-based advisor should easily be able to pay for themselves.
