With used residential property and with multi-family houses with maximum three housing units the asset value method is always used, which determines (substance) the value of a real estate as sum of construction costs (manufacturing costs) and land value. The exact computation is extremely different with the individual institutes. A substantial role plays thereby how a bank estimates the usability of the object. For “real estate of the bar” (to a large extent standardized free-hold flats and terraced houses of large builders) the loan to value ratio is determined usually only roughly on the basis the purchase price (purchase price appropriately? Resale at this price possible?). For less usual objects the banks give sometimes also certain DM values per cubic meter of changes of area, which the loan to value ratio may not exceed.
