Hello. Here I am again. We have now found a bungalow and are in the process of coming to an agreement.
A few key data points:
Living area: approx. 115 sqm
Plot: approx. 360 sqm (incl. garage and pathways)
Year built: 1976
The house is in good condition and one could even move in after a simple renovation. The price will be around €240,000 + property transfer tax etc. However, we want to renovate quite a bit and would invest about €50,000 more. So we are looking at around €310,000. The house is located in Münster.
Our monthly income is about €3,000 net.
Available equity: approx. €80,000.
Public funds: €140,000
Bank: €80,000 - €100,000
My questions:
1.) Do you find the price okay? That should be manageable, right, or would you have concerns about the financing?
2.) Since the bathroom and guest room are still from 1976, we definitely want to completely renovate/renew them. The bathroom is 5.20 sqm and the guest WC is 1.50 sqm. What costs should we expect?
3.) Generally, any tips on what else we should pay attention to in the house?
Best regards
