Hello everyone,

My girlfriend and I have long been planning to escape our very dark two-room apartment and fulfill our dream of owning a home. However, we can only now start to pursue this because my girlfriend’s employment was made permanent in December 2020 after much back and forth.

Other expenses:


    [*]No other expenses, no consumer credit etc.
    [*]Vacation (based on the last three years): 1600 EUR per year, roughly 150 EUR per month

Total income and expenditure:


    [*]Total income: 4150 EUR plus special payments
    [*]Total expenses: 2532 EUR
    [*]Balance: 1618 EUR
    [*]Of which cold rent sum and dispensable savings (e.g. savings rate for house): about 400 EUR cold rent, we want to save together at least 500 EUR per month in the future, so we subtract 1000 EUR from the previous savings rate. That leaves 500-600 EUR left


We aim for a maximum annuity of 1200 EUR (preferably less), plus about 400 EUR ancillary costs for the future house.
Overall, we would like to manage with 1500 EUR warm, which corresponds to an additional burden of 900 EUR compared to our current apartment. Accordingly, the 500-600 EUR savings should be feasible. Special repayments should also be saved or used for special expenses.

General information about the property:

We don’t have a specific property in sight. The supply has been almost completely thinned out for several months.
Our location (northeastern commuter belt of Hamburg) is highly sought after and unfortunately one of the most expensive regions.

We are looking for a single-family house or a semi-detached house in a somewhat more rural part of our district. In the past few months, I have seen some interesting properties in the range of 350,000-400,000 EUR on the common portals.
100-120 sqm and at least 4 rooms with normal fittings are sufficient for us. A fireplace, underfloor heating etc. are welcome but not necessary. Ideally, a still reasonably modern property from the 90s or early 2000s.
A plot of 350-400 sqm is absolutely sufficient, although more is always possible.

Last week we went to Dr. Klein for an initial consultation and had conditions calculated based on an example that a friendly realtor sent us. The house is in the village where I mostly grew up.
Prices there (as of course everywhere here) have shot up sharply in recent years.
Unfortunately, we will not take the property because it does not fit optimally due to the location (girlfriend's commute).
It is an EDI house (prefabricated house from builder Emil Dittmer -> Google) from 1972 on 600 sqm land in a nice side street near my parents’ house.
New heating in 2020, new windows in 2008, various other measures in recent years, very well maintained and basically ready to move in. Fully basemented, 3 rooms with 94 sqm plus expansion reserve in the already insulated attic.

The total cost is supposed to be 425,000 EUR

We found the house quite suitable as an example and had it calculated by Dr. Klein
Construction or purchase costs:


    [*]Purchase price: 425,000 EUR
    [*]Acquisition ancillary costs (notary, court, property transfer tax, broker): 48,000 EUR

Cost summary:


    [*]Total costs 473,000 EUR
    [*]Deductible equity: 48,000 EUR (the rest is to serve as a buffer/iron reserve)
    [*]Financing amount: 425,000 EUR

Necessary loan details:
(for multiple components please provide for all components, for different variants clearly separate them):

Example 1 (15 years fixed interest + KFW 124):

Main loan via 1822direkt:

    [*]Loan amount: 325,000 EUR
    [*]Type of loan (e.g. annuity loan, bullet loan etc.): annuity loan
    [*]Interest rate (p.a. nominal, otherwise effective): 0.78 %
    [*]Fixed interest period: 15 years
    [*]Remaining debt at end of fixed period: 221,000 EUR
    [*]Fictitious total duration until full repayment: 42 years
    [*]Initial repayment rate: 2 %
    [*]Monthly rate: 752.92 EUR
    [*]Special repayments possible? (Amount specified): 5 % p.a.
    [*]Repayment rate change possible? (Conditions such as number, repayment rate range specified): once, 2-5 %

KFW 124 via IB.SH:

    [*]Loan amount: 125,000 EUR
    [*]Type of loan (e.g. annuity loan, bullet loan etc.): annuity loan
    [*]Interest rate (p.a. nominal, otherwise effective): 0.84 %
    [*]Fixed interest period: 10 years
    [*]Remaining debt at end of fixed period: 64,839 EUR
    [*]Fictitious total duration until full repayment: 25 years
    [*]Initial repayment rate: 3.762 %
    [*]Monthly rate: 383.52 EUR
    [*]Special repayments possible? (Amount specified): 5 % p.a.
    [*]Repayment rate change possible? (Conditions such as number, repayment rate range specified): once, 2-5 %


Example 2 (20 years fixed interest + KFW 124):

Main loan via PSD Nord:


    [*]Loan amount: 325,000 EUR
    [*]Type of loan (e.g. annuity loan, bullet loan etc.): annuity loan
    [*]Interest rate (p.a. nominal, otherwise effective): 1.07 %
    [*]Fixed interest period: 20 years
    [*]Remaining debt at end of fixed period: 180,000 EUR
    [*]Fictitious total duration until full repayment: 40 years
    [*]Initial repayment rate: 2 %
    [*]Monthly rate: 831.46 EUR
    [*]Special repayments possible? (Amount specified): no
    [*]Repayment rate change possible? (Conditions such as number, repayment rate range specified): three times, 2-5 %


KFW 124 via IB.SH (as in Example 1):

    [*]Loan amount: 125,000 EUR
    [*]Type of loan (e.g. annuity loan, bullet loan etc.): annuity loan
    [*]Interest rate (p.a. nominal, otherwise effective): 0.84 %
    [*]Fixed interest period: 10 years
    [*]Remaining debt at end of fixed period: 64,839 EUR
    [*]Fictitious total duration until full repayment: 25 years
    [*]Initial repayment rate: 3.762 %
    [*]Monthly rate: 383.52 EUR
    [*]Special repayments possible? (Amount specified): 5 % p.a.
    [*]Repayment rate change possible? (Conditions such as number, repayment rate range specified): once, 2-5 %


What do you think about it? I found the offer with 0.8 % for 15 years remarkably cheap. The next bank was at 0.9 %.
Is that really realistic with 100% purchase price financing?
According to the Dr. Klein advisor, the KFW portion favors the main financing.
He recalculated as a comparison what 15 years without KFW would cost: 1.3 % with 1,267 EUR monthly.

Basically, I would like to note that of course we would prefer to spend a little less. But it also depends on the individual property. Finding something here will certainly be difficult and time-consuming. All possible channels are already activated.

A small note on salary and co.:
My girlfriend will move to the next experience level in a year and then earn over 2,300 EUR net per month.
Collective agreement adjustments usually happen every year. Accordingly, I think that even with a child and one year of parental leave and subsequent 75% position, we will be financially quite solid. We are not particularly "luxury-oriented" and like to pitch in ourselves.

2% repayment is of course not much but I think the residual debt at the end of the fixed interest period is quite manageable for this region with good growth.
Rent is unfortunately not an option because reasonably nice apartments here also easily cost 1,200 EUR warm and we don’t want to live in an apartment either.

I would be very happy about your input/advice.

Many thanks in advance and have a nice evening.

In the Hamburg outskirts, you probably have to spend over 400. Hamburg, of which the northeast is OD, somewhere between Kübeck and Ahrensburg. It could be that the area Norderstedt Ulzburg Quickborn is a bit cheaper, but it is also uglier.

We are in Stormarn and want to stay there as well. I have already gotten used to around 400 k. Last year, prices here felt like they increased by about 20%, and since summer almost no listings have appeared on the portals. Totally crazy.

Thank you - yes, that's true. But because my girlfriend will soon have a significant salary increase, we would then have almost as much as now with child benefits even with a 75% position. I might even reduce my hours later, as I earn less. Of course, higher expenses will also come... But basically, I trust us to manage it. The harder part will probably be finding a property at all ;) If things really get tough, we would also have financial support from the family.
