Why is a property valuation important?

Property valuation is the key to determining the current market value of a property. An accurate valuation is particularly important in order to achieve the best possible price for a planned sale or to be in a strong position in negotiations with buyers. However, the value of a property also plays a key role in lettings, inheritances, divorces or financing. The challenge is to determine the correct value, as this depends on many different factors and changes regularly due to market changes.

Factors that influence the value of a property

The valuation of a property depends on numerous factors, which are weighted differently for each individual property. The most important factors include

• LocationThe region, the infrastructure and the surroundings of the property have a considerable influence on the value. Particularly in the cities of Nuremberg, Fürth, Erlangen, Schwabach and Roth, there are significant differences between the individual neighbourhoods.
• Size and conditionThe living space, the number of rooms and the structural condition (e.g. need for renovation) determine the value.
• EquipmentModern fittings, energy-efficient heating systems or special extras such as a garden or garage can significantly increase the value.
• Market developmentProperty prices in the region fluctuate due to supply and demand, which can influence the valuation.

Methods for property valuation

There are various methods for determining the value of a property. The most common methods include

1. Comparative value methodThis compares the property with similar properties already sold in the region.
2. Income capitalisation approachThis method is often used for rented properties. The value is determined on the basis of the expected rental income.
3. Asset value methodThis method is used for owner-occupied properties or new buildings and calculates the value based on the production costs and the condition of the building.

An example: An flat in Nuremberg, which is in a sought-after location and is well equipped, is valued using the comparative value method based on similar properties. The size, condition and sales price of comparable properties are included in the valuation.
