Verkehrswert nach BauGB Feststellung / Grundstückswert Ermittlung

Do you need the value of a property for purchase negotiations, family law matters or inheritance disputes, for example? Submit an application for a market value appraisal to the relevant office of the expert committee.

The market value (market value) is determined by the price that could be achieved in the ordinary course of business at the time to which the valuation relates, taking into account the legal circumstances and actual characteristics, the other properties and the location of the property or other object of the valuation without taking into account unusual or personal circumstances (Section 194 of the German Building Code).

In compliance with the statutory provisions, the expert committees for property values issue expert opinions on the market value of developed and undeveloped properties and on the market value of rights to properties upon request.

Market value appraisals are also prepared by specially trained, publicly appointed and sworn or certified experts.

Further information can be found under the following link.

Please submit the relevant documents (e.g. identity card and extract from the land register of the property to be appraised) as proof of authorization to apply.

Submit a written application to the office of the locally responsible expert committee for property values. In the course of processing, the office of the expert committee will request relevant documents from other authorities and from the applicant. These serve to determine the legal circumstances and the actual characteristics of the valuation object.

As soon as all the necessary documents are available, the office of the expert committee arranges an appointment with the applicant/owner to inspect the valuation object. This appointment serves to prepare the valuation; in particular, data is collected for the property and building description as well as building dimensions.

Following this, the market value of the inspected valuation property is determined and approved at a meeting of the expert committee. Subsequently, the appraisal is prepared in the office and sent to the applicant/owner together with the cost decision.

The processing time depends, among other things, on the object being valued and the volume of applications in the offices. It usually takes several weeks from the time the application is submitted until the appraisal report is sent. In individual cases, please contact the office of the relevant expert committee.

There are no deadlines to be observed.

The expert opinions have no binding effect unless otherwise specified or agreed.
