Hello everyone,
I am brand new here in the forum and have a question for you right away.
My partner and I have been planning to build a house for quite some time.
Now it's getting serious. The plan from a friend who is an architect will be ready soon, and we can start getting offers :)
But I just want to hear your opinion on the topic of financing.
About our situation:
We are both 23 years old.
Monthly net income:
Partner: €1,300
Me: €1,850
In total then: €3,150
We are not married yet, have no children, live RENT-FREE (thanks to Mum and Dad) ;) Both have secure jobs (I know... what is secure nowadays?)
The plot of land is available (and again thanks a lot to Mum and Dad)
And then there is an additional €50,000 in equity.
It will be a completely normal little house measuring 9x10m with a gable roof and basement, without bay windows/dormers or anything else. The heating method will be an air heat pump with underfloor heating and a Swedish stove on the ground floor. (We thought about this for a long time and gathered plenty of information)
It should be a solid house, built by a local construction company (where we will get the first offer today).
We estimate the shell construction costs to be about €100,000-130,000 and up to completion around €250,000-280,000.
Now my question:
Do you think this is feasible?
Friends and acquaintances all say that this is very doable for us.
Also considering the monthly costs that a house causes.
But since we are both rather cautious people, we want to hear a few other opinions as well :)
THANKS in advance :)
