For me, it is always astonishing how one can just generally say without personally knowing the consumer that it doesn’t work, is too expensive, too risky, etc. One calculates an apple and the other talks about a pear. That may all be true, maybe 20,000 euros really are underestimated, but I cannot judge that based on the information available here. Topic financing. Why not fix for 20 or 25 years, combined with possibly subsidized (since Baden Württemberg) KfW 153 fixed for 20 years and KfW 124 fixed for 10 years with protection against a building savings contract, for example with the F60 from Signal?? What speaks against a term of 35 years if I’m not yet retired by then? Why can one even make a general statement about the sustainability of the capital service based on the information available here, without knowing the consumer individually, especially without inquiring about other options and improvements? What is so bad about the offer (apart from the fact that the interest rate probably will no longer fit, but that is currently calming down again) from Interhyp (it will probably be the Ing.Ing-Diba and there are even better ones) to begin with?
Indeed, it might be quite a hot undertaking to manage such a volume without equity, and of course it doesn’t just happen quickly and easily, but one can think about it and I personally can only discourage it, for example, after I have seen the construction documents and the overall calculation, have personally gotten to know the consumer and their financial situation, and have discussed all other possibilities and deemed them not feasible. It may also be that one will come to this conclusion, but first of all not generally and certainly not with such insufficient information and especially not because one only finishes paying off their property by retirement age.
