How to choose the right fixed interest period

A fixation period which is too short could cause you financial hardship if interest rates go up significantly in the future. However, too long a fixation period could result in high costs, inflexibility, or exorbitant cancellation fees if you move on early. Hypofriend’s Optimization Engine will recommend the optimal fixed interest period for your situation.

The free house financing calculator from Hypofriend helps you find the optimal financing for your home or apartment. You enter the purchase price, equity, monthly payment, and fixed interest period, and it provides a detailed overview of your financing options.

The calculator is based on advanced financial models developed by Dr. Chris Mulder, a former senior economist and manager at the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. It compares the terms from over 750 lenders and identifies hidden costs to offer you the best financing options.

The calculator provides a quick overview of financing costs, including additional purchase costs like property transfer tax and notary fees. It’s free to use and requires no registration, allowing you to explore different financing scenarios easily.

It’s essential to plan your financing so that you can pay it off by retirement. Additionally, purchase-related costs like property transfer tax and notary fees should be considered, as these are often not included in the loan.

The desired monthly payment affects the loan term and total costs. Higher payments shorten the loan term and reduce interest costs, while lower payments extend the repayment period.

Use the Hypofriend house financing calculator for Germany to secure the best interest rate. It compares the terms of over 750 lenders and simulates different interest rate scenarios to help you find the best option.

The calculator requires information such as the purchase price, equity, and fixed interest period. More equity leads to better terms, and the length of the fixed interest period affects how long the interest rate remains unchanged. Longer periods offer more security but often come with higher rates.

The criteria are as follows: if they seem overwhelming, our financing advisors are happy to help you determine if a KFW loan is suitable for you or if combining it with your main loan makes sense. The KFW options are as follows:

Homeownership Program (Program 124): For all residential properties, where the property must be purchased for personal use.

Homeownership for Families (Program 300): For energy-efficient new builds (at least KFW 40). Eligible are those who meet these criteria: purchase for personal use, children under 18 years old, first-time homebuyers, meet the KFW 40 energy criteria, and stay within the income limit for tax purposes.

Energy-Efficient Modernization (Program 261): For the purchase of newly renovated buildings or self-modernization, where at least the KFW 85 standard must be met, or for the construction of new residential spaces.

Energy-Efficient New Build (Personal Use) (Program 297): For energy-efficient new builds (at least KFW 40) purchased for personal use.

Energy-Efficient New Build (Rental) (Program 298): Similar to Program 297, but for properties purchased for rental purposes.

The maintenance fee (Hausgeld) is a monthly payment that every property owner must make to the property management. It functions like a utility bill for apartment owners and covers various ongoing costs related to the building's maintenance and management.

The amount of the maintenance fee is based on a financial plan prepared by the property management and approved by the owners. The fee is usually calculated according to the respective property's ownership share (measured in square meters). The main components of the maintenance fee include:

Operating costs: General expenses for the upkeep of the building, such as waste disposal, cleaning, and garden maintenance.

Heating costs: Costs for heating communal areas and sometimes individual apartments.

Electricity costs: Costs for powering communal areas, like stairwell lighting.

Caretaker costs: Fees for the caretaker who handles daily maintenance.

Insurance: Contributions to building insurance, such as fire or water damage insurance.

Management costs: Costs for property management, which handles the legal and financial administration of the property.

Maintenance reserves: Reserves for future repairs and renovations of shared property.

These components ensure that the property is well-maintained and fully functional. The exact amount can vary depending on the type and condition of the property and the region. However, it’s essential to factor in the maintenance fee when calculating monthly expenses, especially when financing a property.
