Defensive offer, or have house prices become so expensive?

Does anyone now know how the tax office even determines the value?

If you inherit such a building and can afford to leave it for the grandchildren... well, then 75k inheritance tax, which was hypothetically assumed here, is probably a small fry?
How do you intend to maintain a property of this size until the solvent grandchildren take over? Heating costs, garden, maintenance?

Ok, then there is still the question, where do your 2 million come from?

see #337.
(The post should have at least 5 words.)

Yes, the 2 million is clearly too high - that's exactly it! The house includes a wide long driveway in the middle of the city. The plot alone should already be close to a million. Then the house again around 800, outbuildings. Ok, let it be 1.7. But that changes little about the fact. I don't see how one could rent a single-family house even in a good location in the city for more than about 1500 per month. But maybe I'm not very active in the market.

The inheritance tax seems to me to actually be a problem where house prices have risen extremely. The example article I referred to reported about Tegernsee, where investors from outside apparently circle some family estates like vultures. The strategy of one family there was to transfer as much as possible to the (only) child as early as possible.

and there it says

WHO claimed the €2 million valuation is not stated in the post you refer to!
