Hello,
a decision needs to be made this week and I have now received another offer, which could be an alternative alongside the offer from the 1st post. I would also like to present this here and ask for your advice on the advantages/disadvantages of the offer from Deutsche Bank and the new offer from Hypovereinsbank:
2nd Offer (HypoVereinsbank)
This is composed as follows...
--- 1. ---
320,000 EUR annuity loan
2.05% nominal interest rate (2.0% repayment)
20 years term
10 months interest-free provision period
5% special repayment possible
No change in repayment possible
1080 EUR monthly rate
--- 2. ---
50,000 EUR KFW home ownership program 124
1.50% nominal interest rate (2.26% repayment - repayment-free 1st year)
10 years term
4 months interest-free provision period
156.52 EUR monthly rate
This loan is secured with the following building savings contract, funded in parallel and redeemed after 10 years:
39,000 EUR building savings amount
2.35% nominal interest rate
10 years term
127.14 EUR monthly rate (during the loan)
234.00 EUR monthly rate (after the KFW loan term has expired)
Monthly burden in the first 10 years: 1364 EUR
Monthly burden after the KFW loan has expired, i.e. from the 11th year: 1314 EUR
After 20 years, without any special repayments, there would be a remaining debt of approx. 165,000 EUR on the annuity loan.
In summary, the Deutsche Bank offer costs about 110 EUR more per month, but it eliminates any interest rate risk over the entire term. In the HypoVereinsbank offer, approx. 165,000 EUR (if no special repayments are made) remain as residual debt after 20 years. Now I am unsure how to evaluate/classify these 165,000 EUR. Let’s assume the "worst case" scenario and say that in 20 years the interest rate is at 10% — and I would only have about 10 years left to repay the residual debt until retirement... Then I would have to pay 2,100 EUR with 6% repayment in order to finish the remaining amount in 9 years and 10 months.
As said -> "worst case" ... the very good collateral at that time (in 20 years) is not even taken into account in this calculation. Positive about the HypoVereinsbank is that we have low fees for the one building savings contract (1.0% compared to 1.6% at DB, and we would only have one building savings contract instead of 2 at DB) and due to the lower burden, we would also have more flexibility during a possible child phase, as my wife would also reduce her working hours somewhat.
How would you evaluate Offer A (1st post from Deutsche Bank, no residual debt, no interest rate risk) against Offer B (HypoVereinsbank with residual debt, with a bit more leeway) and what would you advise?
I am torn and look forward to your comments.
Best regards & thanks for your effort!
