Hello everyone, I have been dealing with the topic of buying/building a house for about 2 years now and have also been active here for a while.
Since there was no existing property that suited us, building almost exclusively remains an option. It was originally planned with a cheaper plot of land, but unfortunately this is not available either. Now a more expensive plot is an option, although I am financially rather skeptical.
Here are the facts:
My income: €2,650 (company car costs already deducted)
My girlfriend's income: €1,850
Total thus €4,500
Equity:
Me: €93,000
Her: €12,000
Building savings contract she: €8,000
Riester pension (whether it makes sense to include it in the financing is still questionable):
Me: €8,000
Her: €7,000
If you really scrape everything together now, I come to €128,000 (incl. Riester). But then everything is really included and no reserves remain.
The plot of land in question now costs €120,000.
We have spoken with a few prefab house providers so far and the shortlist includes Schwörerhaus and Fingerhaus.
House costs for approx. 130 sqm of living space are about €260,000.
If I add it up now:
Land: €120,000
House: €260,000
Selections: €10,000
Floor coverings: €10,000
Outdoor facilities: €10,000
Additional building costs: €40,000
Total: €450,000
If I were to deduct all equity (which of course is not possible), I would be at €322,000. Let’s say I keep €17,000 as a buffer, I would be at a financing of €340,000. Although I also fear that the €17k would not be enough as a reserve for building a house?
Oh yes, I am 32 and my girlfriend 26. Children are planned in 3-5 years. And that is exactly where I see the snag. At the moment we could manage a rate of €1,800, I would have no concerns there, we also keep a household budget. But how will it look with children then...
My idea would be to pay off €1,800 for the first 3-5 years and then, when the child(ren) arrive, reduce it to €1,000-1,100 and then be done after a total of 30 years.
How would you evaluate this?
Best regards,
MSPler
