T€ 350 = 88% T€ 350 = 78% Where do the 10% come from? Does the house now cost T€ 400 and the fittings T€ 50 in your example?
No, the house costs T€ 450 and the accessories T€ 50 = purchase price T€ 500. But as a bank, you separate market value/sales value and lending value. These are different quantities, which are also defined differently. For single-family houses or condos, it is common to calculate the lending value with a 10% deduction from the market value (purchase price). It gets really interesting with income-producing properties, such as commercial real estate (from multi-family houses or offices or hotels, etc.). There, the purchase price = market value can easily be twice as high as the lending value. So with a 50% equity investment, you still have to pay financing costs for 100%.
