First of all, thank you very much for the direct feedback. Not exactly clueless, but the appraiser was already planned before we sign anything at the notary. Especially to check the mentioned facts.



In fact, the energy efficiency was stated as E in the exposé, but during the on-site viewing, without prior knowledge, the new gas boiler, windows, and solar systems were mentioned. Regarding the gas boiler, he only said that it dates from 2022 and a new energy certificate has already been requested and will be available before purchase. He estimated it as class A but could not guarantee it. Then I also asked him about the solar systems, and he claimed they cover the entire electricity consumption of the house. So far, however, he has not presented any concrete facts about this, so I cannot say with certainty whether that is true.
These statements are so far based only on the broker’s information. Therefore, I plan to contact him again after a positive response from the bank and to verify the facts he conveyed verbally.
Regarding the garden and its low value, I have to admit that I was not aware of this. It always sounds promising when it is said that a lot of money was invested, but of course this statement corresponds to reality. Currently, I am considering possibly deducting 12% from the purchase price and hope that I would still be eligible as a buyer then. At a purchase price of 420,000 euros, the situation already looks much more attractive.
I am also sure that the broker exaggerated some things.

Thank you very much for engaging with our topic. I hope the answers can shed some light on the matter.


    [*]The first point could certainly be true. Therefore, we would have it checked later by an appraiser or a professional craftsman.
    [*]Regarding the second point, I already mentioned in my previous answer that the information has so far only been verbally conveyed by the realtor, without concrete figures or proof. This would happen in the next step, as soon as the bank commits to a certain amount and I qualify as a buyer.
    [*]Currently, we are planning financing with an interest rate of 1.8-2%, as we do not intend to rent out the property.
    [*]Check24 suggested this option to us. On Monday, we have appointments with my house bank and Interhyp, hopefully to find better alternatives, since I do not like this solution either and would rather wait.
    [*]Nowadays, it is probably hardly avoidable. Currently, I still have a car with €45,000 outstanding (hence the monthly installment of €475) and a kitchen that I bought 2 years ago and have almost fully paid off. If the ongoing costs for the property turn out to be too high, I would consider changing the car. That would also yield a larger sum back.
    [*]I have already explained more about that in my previous answer.

Are 45,000€ still outstanding? In the first post it said that there are "only" 5,000€ in obligations? I hope with the 2% in the financing you mean the repayment...

Somehow this thread seems sus to me, to be honest. Let's state the facts: - Mid-20s - €0 equity - Multiple consumer loans (liabilities > €5,000) - House with dubious information from the previous owner regarding energy efficiency class and electricity consumption (ancillary costs) Please don't waste the banker's time unnecessarily. Pay off the consumer loans ASAP, save at least €70k equity, and then reshuffle the cards. This story sounds like a financial advisor's nightmare :p

The kitchen loan would not be a problem, you could sell it to the next tenant. But the rest doesn't fit. Leave your house bank out of it, otherwise they won't take you seriously anymore. 45000 car loan that is only serviced with 475? Nothing will remain from the sale except the installment.

0€ in equity, but a luxury car on credit (even though it’s not even used for commuting) and then immediately taking on an even bigger loan. Financially, it might work as long as both of you work full-time, but somehow the alarm bells are ringing. Generally: Don’t be dazzled by the real estate agent. Spending 50k on the garden sounds good, but it has little effect on the value and condition of the house. Energy class A for the heating system is another confusing real estate agent statement. Actually, there are energy classes for the building, not for the heating system. And supposedly extensively renovated in 2020, but no heat pump ...
