How do you come up with €400 additional costs for a modern house? That seems a bit high to me...
Heating costs for a KfW 70 house with gas heating (I didn’t find the type of heating here, only controlled residential ventilation with heat recovery) are under €50/month. It should actually be a bit lower here. In a house, you don’t have additional costs like a caretaker, etc. €350 for electricity, water, insurance, garbage, I consider that very high.
We are financing in roughly the same range, but with somewhat higher equity. A 20-year fixed interest period with special repayments and relatively low amortization (just over 2%) results in a burden of €1650/month for us. Therefore, I consider the €1700 entirely realistic. However, as I said, I would set the monthly additional costs somewhat lower. Doable, but big leaps are not possible. A second child with a loss of income will be tough. Maybe you can find financing where changing the repayment rate is possible, and you can switch to lower amortization for the time one person is at home.
I would also like to point out again that the suggestion to "look further out" definitely has its justification. I would also like to build on a quiet, centrally located plot at the Isar in Munich
Help help: you are a banker yourself and advise changing jobs before financing? Really??? With an employment contract during the probation period, at least here with the banks, you’re not necessarily the favorite customer… just saying.
