Our valuation reports are recognised throughout the industry and further afield and
are tailored individually to your requirements. Banks and financial institutions instruct us to provide valuations for financing purposes and market and mortgage lending values. Our clients include lawyers, tax advisors and private persons who require valuations for inheritances and gifts, property tax, real estate transfer tax and litigation purposes. Companies also appreciate our impartial property valuations for use in their financial reporting and/or for insurance purposes.
Confidentiality is an important principle in all our work. We are exclusively engaged as valuers and are not active as intermediaries or data brokers and use your property-related data only for the purposes of carrying out your instruction. All data is stored exclusively in Germany.
Our service is there for the benefit of your business. Our individual and professional property valuation service is suitable for a variety of purposes as a solid basis for negotiations and decision-making. Our clients regularly include investors and funds which require valuations for the purchase or sale of fund properties. Our clients benefit from our many years of experience and solution-orientated expertise in the sector.
The route to an independent valuation of your property is simple and benefits from our straightforward approach. After your initial contact with us, we respond to your enquiry by ascertaining the purpose of the valuation, the type of property, the status of existing documentation, the deadline and any local circumstances to be taken into account. We are also in a position to let you have a binding offer for the instruction. We will then agree an inspection appointment with you.
Certain documents are ideally available prior to the property inspection. These include the address of the property, floor layout plans, cadastral plan, land register extracts and building measurements. If the subject is a rental property, we also require a rent roll with lease contract information. Depending on the property type, we may require additional documents. If information is either unavailable or out-of-date, we are prepared to assist with sourcing such documentation by contacting the relevant offices and authorities.
The property inspection is our opportunity to carry out a personal visual tour of the property and the surrounding area. This includes an internal inspection of the building, rental units and/or a representative sample of residential units. We also make an assessment of the communal areas, technical rooms, roof areas (in as much as these are accessible) and external installations.
The duration of the inspection depends on size, the number of different uses, number of rental units and the complexity of the property. For example, an inspection of a multi-family apartment building typically takes around 45 to 60 minutes, around 60 to 90 minutes for a larger office building and up to 2 to 3 hours for complex industrial properties.
The inspection is followed by office-based work including the preparation of a written report, valuation calculations, research based on official sources, telephone enquiries, property market research, plausibility reviews, compilation of data, information and assessments and the final proof-read. After completion of the work, we will provide you with a valuation report in PDF form by e-mail as a preliminary draft or as a signed copy for your own use. The whole process typically takes around 2 to 3 weeks after the provision of all documents and the property inspection, assuming the above information is readily available.
What are the important issues when preparing a property valuation?
A property valuation should be carried out on an independent and individual basis. Individual means the assessment of local circumstances and tailored to the specific purpose of the instruction. Independent means that the valuation report is prepared free of external influences. The initial conversation relating to the background, local circumstances and purpose of the valuation is essential for our approach to the valuation methodology. Only then can we start on the actual processing, allowing us to ensure an individually customised report.
How do we process valuation work from our Frankfurt office?
You will benefit from our structured approach to property valuation. If you would like to assess your documentation status in advance, please see this website for a check list of the most important documents which we require for the valuation. An important aspect is the initial conversation, in which you can inform us of your individual requirements and we can inform you of the various types of property valuation available.
When is it necessary to carry out a property valuation?
A property valuation may be carried out for a variety of reasons, for example for company accounting purposes, a loan secured on real estate, a purchase/sale, company mergers and split-offs, insurance purposes, inheritances and tax purposes. We provide a tailored valuation to suit every purpose.
