Administrative services A-Z

If you would like to know the value of an undeveloped or developed property or the value of rights to a property, you can have this determined by means of a market value appraisal. This determination can be requested from the local appraisal committee. In addition, the determination is also offered by private experts.

The market value is synonymous with the market value. It is the price that could be obtained in the ordinary course of business at the time to which the appraisal relates, based on the legal circumstances and actual characteristics, other features and location of the property or other object of the appraisal, without regard to unusual or personal circumstances.

The provision of expert opinions on the market value is the task of the expert committees. The committee is basically autonomous and independent. A committee is responsible for one area at a time (for example, for a county or an independent city). The members are members of public authorities as well as honorary appraisers (such as architects, structural engineers, civil engineers, tax consultants, etc.).

Any owner or other person entitled to a property may apply for a market value appraisal.

The necessary documents vary depending on the appraisal order and will be requested in consultation with you.

Among other things, the following documents may be necessary:

• Land register excerpt
• Proof of other rights and encumbrances
• Power of attorney of the owner(s)
• Fire insurance certificate
• List of rental and leasing income
• List of operating costs
• Minutes/resolutions of owners' meeting
• Proof of investments in the last 10 years
• Energy certificate
• Site plan
• Building plans/floor plans.

Please submit the relevant documents (e.g. identity card, extract from the land register or extract from the real estate register of the property to be appraised) as proof of authorization to apply. Other documents relating to the valuation object (e.g. construction plans of buildings) may be of importance for the valuation. If you have such documents, please submit them.

The preparation of market value appraisals by the appraisal committees is subject to a fee. The cost regulations of the federal states apply.

The costs are regulated in the Brandenburg Expert Committee Fee Regulations. The amount of the fee for a market value appraisal depends on the value of the appraised property.

Please enquire about the costs at the office of the relevant expert committee.

Citizens can submit an application to the appraisal committee for the preparation of a market value appraisal for a property.
