There are indirectly gradations. These depend on the loan-to-value ratio = relation of financing to the value of the property according to the bank's assessment. It can happen that an additional €5,000 of equity, for example, pushes you over the 80% threshold (because you were slightly above it before). Or you may need €30,000 because you are far from it.
Thus, the equity almost gets used up by the incidental costs of the purchase. Therefore, it will be a relatively high financing = relatively expensive.
Loan approx. €575,000, with a 30-year term (suitable for your age) approx. €2,100 installment. This is feasible with your income (depending on your lifestyle and your current rent situation).
Thanks for the explanation about the equity! I have that in mind now.
We could also keep accumulating equity, but properties are getting more expensive (quite possibly). It won’t help me if in two years I have €50,000 more equity but the house costs €100,000 more (even though I find that hard to imagine).
