There are three standardised methods for determining the value of real estate in Germany: the comparative value method, the capitalised earnings value method and the asset value method. The aim of the valuation is to determine the market value of the property.

If only the price per m² of living space is taken into account, new buildings can be up to 50 % more expensive than existing properties.

Before buying a property, the building fabric and building services should be examined in detail. In the case of houses, the building must be thoroughly examined from the outside. Are the facade, windows and doors in order? Is there a need for repair? The gutters, downpipes and exterior lighting should also be considered.

The architecture of the 20th century was essentially shaped by four architectural styles. The design and conception of each architectural style depended on the technological and constructive possibilities of the time.

This depends, among other things, on the value of the property in conjunction with the tax allowances. Consultation with a tax advisor or accountant with corresponding costs is advisable.
