Key data: 1st income: €2350 net; 2nd income: €1550 net;
Marital status currently childless, but planned within the next 2 years;
Plot (developed) is available (value: 1200m² at €75 each);
Equity: €80,000, total costs (incl. house, garage, garden): approx. €370,000.
I was thinking of paying it off with a 20-year fixed interest rate. What is your opinion? Is this possible?
Addendum: with €370,000 really everything is considered (incl. 10% safety margin). Planned living area approx. 250 sqm (+ 40 sqm garage), 2 full floors on a slab foundation (without basement), complete underfloor heating with water-conducting fireplace, gas boiler and 4 modules on the roof. However, I thought more of KfW 55 (with insulation-filled bricks). Or does another financing concept make more sense?
Honestly. I don't think this will work. You would be overextending yourselves.
In the current situation it is possible, but at the latest when you want to have children, it will become tight.
Your total net income: €3,900 - later the salary 2 will be lost for an indefinite period or will be lower (e.g. part-time work) with simultaneously higher expenses.
Your financing wish:
€290,000 with 20 years fixed interest rate and repayment within 20 years.
I don't know exactly where the interest rate is at 20 years (you would currently just miss a 60% loan-to-value ratio), but I estimate it will be around 3.50%.
To be finished within 20 years, you need a classic financing with 3.50% initial repayment - that means an annuity of approx. 7.00%.
€290,000 x 7% = €20,300 p.a. or approx. €1,690 p.m.
And now realistically consider whether this is feasible with only your salary once your child is born.
You are planning a very large house (250 sqm). You should maybe think about making it a bit smaller (150 - 200 sqm) and choosing KfW70. You have equity others would do anything for. If the construction costs go down, you will also reach the 60% loan-to-value ratio and can expect a better interest rate.
