I had no intention of speaking ill of you. But you are not buying a washing machine that costs 1000€, rather you will be in debt for many years. I congratulate you on the decision to get married, but keep a cool head nonetheless. Think about your plan several times. Even if the bank gives you a loan, ask 2-3 other banks as well. Only then can you be sure to get a good offer.
Just because the bank gives you the OK doesn’t mean you can afford it. A bank wants to make money, and if it does so by assuming that you will need additional financing or that the bank will get your house, the bank couldn’t care less.
In order for a house to be profitable as retirement provision, it should be paid off within the first 20 years. That means a monthly burden of 2000 €. And you can’t manage that with your current salary. If children are desired, remember that your parental allowance, if you have worked full 12 months earning 1500 net, is only about 1000.
If you pay off a house over 30 or 40 years, you will have paid almost 800,000 € for a 300,000 € loan. Just to throw some more numbers into the mix.
May I ask how much money you have applied for as a loan? Because 180,000 and your 40,000 that I have read so far is nowhere near enough.
Take a look on the internet or here in the forum to see what happens to people who had to get additional financing...
