5 tips for property valuation: What influences the value of your property?

1. Location: the most important factor

The location is the decisive factor when it comes to the value of a property. An attractive location can significantly increase the price of a property. Properties in well-connected and popular districts or regions that offer a high quality of life often achieve higher prices. Factors such as proximity to public transport, shopping facilities, schools and green spaces play an important role here.

Tip: Find out about planned infrastructure projects in your region that could have a positive impact on the value of your property in the future.

2. Property condition: investments that pay off

The structural condition of your property is another decisive factor. A well-maintained house or renovated apartment will always achieve a higher market value than a property that has many defects. These include the condition of the roof, windows, heating system and plumbing. Energy efficiency is also becoming increasingly important.

Tip: Invest specifically in necessary repairs and modernizations before you have your property assessed. A small renovation can often mean a large increase in value.

3. Equipment: comfort and extras make all the difference

The equipment of your property also has a direct influence on its value. Modern kitchens, high-quality floor coverings, smart home technology or luxurious bathrooms increase the market value. Properties that have special extras such as a balcony, a terrace, a garden or a garage are also more sought-after and often achieve higher prices.

Tip: If you are planning to sell your property in the next few years, it may be worth investing in contemporary and sought-after features.

4. The role of a real estate agent: For a realistic valuation

An experienced real estate agent plays a central role in the valuation of your property. Thanks to their market knowledge and experience, they can make a realistic assessment of the value and help you achieve the best possible price. The real estate agent knows the regional market developments, comparable real estate offers and current price trends, which is essential for an accurate valuation.

Tip: Trust the expertise of a professional real estate agent for the real estate valuation. This guarantees you an objective and market-driven valuation.

5. How owners can increase the value of their property

There are various ways to increase the value of your property. In addition to the renovation and modernization mentioned above, small improvement measures such as a fresh paint job or garden maintenance are also useful. You can also significantly increase the value by creating additional living space, for example by converting the loft.

Tip: Are you planning major changes to your property? Seek advice from an expert beforehand to ensure that the investment is actually worthwhile and will increase the value of your property.
