Hello,
normally a 5% prepayment right is agreed with the banks free of charge.
I work for a real estate financier and know the guidelines :-) [

QUOTE=*Andre*;48866]Hello Alice,
you wrote that you agreed on a special repayment of 5%. Usually, the banks then charge an interest surcharge.
If this is also the case with you, have them give you an offer without a special repayment right before you accept the offer. Usually, you save a bit of interest this way and can therefore set the repayment a bit higher. I would then put the "special repayments", as you can and want, separately into a savings account/building society contract or something similar, which also still accrues interest.
I recently read a report (unfortunately I can’t find it) that many do exercise the right to special repayments because they or simply forget. Therefore, a comparison is possibly advisable (if there are big differences in interest rates)…
Otherwise, I would leave it, because the special repayment you make also means paying less interest again, as the outstanding debt decreases...
The interest rates and the rest of the offer sound, I think, very good.
The interest rate level is okay as far as I know.
So I wish you much success and lots of fun with your little house if you decide on it. :)
Best regards
