These 5 factors determine the value of the apartment building

Tip in advance, I recommend my guide:

• Valuate apartment building

Decisive for the value are:

1. Real estate location (macro and micro location)
2. Property and defects (condition)
3. Types of use
4. Tenants and rental agreements
5. Potential

Quickly explained:

Real estate location: Berlin, Wuppertal or a village in the country?

Location is known to be a decisive factor in real estate valuation. Both the macro-location (regional and city-wide factors such as economic situation, infrastructure and development prospects) and the micro-location (immediate surroundings of the property, neighborhood, access to public transport) are taken into account.

Here is a quick offer check on ImmoScout24:

• Rudow, Berlin – 1,149,000 € / for 355 m² living space – A-location
• Oberbarmen, Wuppertal – 629.000 € / for 456 m² living space – B-location
• Wusterhausen/Dosse (Brandenburg) – € 128,000 for 305 m² living space – C-location

Berlin and Wusterhausen are ~ 100 km apart, the purchase price differs by a factor of ~ 10. The location has this major effect on the property value.

• Real estate location

Condition of the property

The condition of the apartment building plays a key role in the valuation. Aspects such as year of construction, building fabric, need for renovation and modernization as well as energy efficiency are taken into account. A well-maintained and modernized building can have a higher value than an older property in need of renovation.

More on years of construction and defects:

• Property and defects

Types of use

The various possible uses of the apartment building also influence its value. Is it a purely residential property or are there also commercial units? Are there potential development opportunities, e.g. through conversion or extension?

Tenants and rental agreements

The quality of the tenants and the long-term stability of the rental agreements are decisive factors for the value of an apartment building. A stable tenant mix and long-term rental agreements can increase the attractiveness of the property and thus increase its value.

Potential of the apartment building / surroundings

Finally, the potential of the apartment building is taken into account. This includes possible increases in value through planned developments in the surrounding area, through modernization measures or by optimizing rental income.

Overall, determining the value of an apartment building is a complex task that requires a comprehensive analysis of various factors. A professional valuation by a surveyor or real estate expert may therefore be advisable in order to determine the realistic market value of the property.

Condominiums, sales and estate agents – everything you need to know

With a population of around 750,000 and an area of almost 750 square kilometers, Frankfurt am Main is one of Germany’s major cities alongside Berlin, Hamburg and Munich. In A-locations such as Frankfurt, you need a keen sense of price, as the prices per square meter are significantly higher than in the surrounding area. Depending on how quickly you want to sell your condominium in Frankfurt, you need to reach the right buyers with creditworthiness, genuine interest, an appropriate exposé and price.

Sell privately or with an estate agent? Both are possible, it depends on your time.

Selling an apartment without an estate agent

If you have the time and experience to manage all the steps of a property sale on your own, including the valuation, pricing, preparation of exposés and documents, as well as conducting preliminary discussions with potential buyers and the purchase transaction, then you have the opportunity to sell your property without the help of an estate agent.

Real estate valuation: Determining the purchase price

Every owner should consider a professional valuation for their Frankfurt apartment. The fact is that a property sale based on gut feeling or the mere mention of an ideal value often leads to an overvaluation and the associated consequences. Not having a valuation can prolong a sale. Another risk is high losses due to a sale price that is too low.

The realistic purchase price is determined during the real estate valuation

Data on the location, property and plot size, fixtures and fittings and infrastructural integration are used to determine the market value. A neutrally determined and fact-based offer price ensures your serious performance and is a basis for the profitable and secure sale of real estate in Frankfurt.

These factors influence the value of the property:

• Location
• Equipment
• Condition
• Construction method
• Infrastructure of the district
• Comparison objects

Procedure: From preparation to handover

Selling your apartment in Frankfurt in the best possible way requires more than just organizational talent and negotiating skills. As a seller, it is essential to always have an overview of the current status of the sales process and to know which step is required next to ensure that everything runs smoothly. The sales process can be divided into three phases.

The 3 phases of selling a home:

1. Preparation phase
2. Sales phase
3. Processing

Let’s take a closer look at the exact process:

Planning: Documents, exposé & Co.

Well prepared is already half sold! This also applies to apartments in Frankfurt. So make sure you have all the important documents in advance. This includes the land register extract, energy certificate and invoices for past renovation and modernization measures. You should also decide in good time whether you would prefer to sell privately or with an estate agent and set a realistic sales period. Get an overview of the incidental costs and prepare a professional real estate exposé.

The individual steps of the preparation phase:

• Private sale or with an estate agent?
• Real estate valuation
• Compile documents
• Preparean exposé

• Draw up a financial plan

Marketing an apartment: Sales strategies

The property has been prepared for sale, all the documents are together and the sales period has been set? Then you now need to sell your apartment. To do this, you can choose between three sales strategies, the advantages and disadvantages of which vary depending on the location, type of apartment and type of house.

Read more here! Marketing a property: Strategy

You can therefore choose between these three strategies:

• Offensive
• Defensive
• Off Market

Once your apartment has been advertised and contact has been established with prospective buyers, organize viewing appointments, carry out credit checks and conduct sales talks. Don’t be afraid to use your existing documents as an argument during the purchase price negotiations.

Completing the sale: Purchase contract and handover

Once the buyer has been found and their creditworthiness has been checked, the final steps of the sale are initiated. You and the buyer sign the contract at the notary’s office. Payment of the agreed purchase price is then made once the land register has been updated. This is also known as the priority notice of conveyance. As soon as you have received the purchase price, either directly into your account or in advance via the notary’s escrow account, you hand over your apartment to the new owner.

Here is an overview of the final steps:

• Notary appointment
• Notarization
• Signature
• Entry in the land register
• Handover of the property

You have now officially sold your apartment in Frankfurt – congratulations!

Condominiums, sales and estate agents – everything you need to know

The German capital Berlin stretches out in the shadow of the impressive television tower. Potsdam and Brandenburg are also just a stone’s throw away. In prime A-locations such as Berlin, a keen sense of pricing is required. Prices per square meter are noticeably higher here compared to the surrounding region.

Real estate valuation: Determining the purchase price

It is essential for every homeowner in Berlin to have their property properly valued. This is because selling a property based on a gut feeling or a subjective assessment of the ideal value often leads to an overestimation of the actual property value and without a professional valuation, the sales process usually takes considerably longer. Another drawback: high losses due to a sales price that is set too low.

The realistic purchase price is determined during the real estate valuation

In order to determine the market value, various data is taken into account, including information on the location, the size of the property and the plot, the fixtures and fittings and the connection to the infrastructure. A neutrally determined asking price based on objective facts ensures a trustworthy approach and forms a solid basis for a successful and secure sale of real estate in Berlin, where profitability is the main focus.

Various documents need to be obtained for the house sale. Your prospective buyers are also looking for information about the building permit, the building description and have legal questions about the property. Before the planned sale, the following documents should be available for the sale:

• Energy certificate (mandatory when placing the ad)
• Land register extract and cadastral map
• Living space calculation
• Building description
• Floor plans, elevations
• Building permits
• Evidence of maintenance, modernization and repairs

Contact authorities and offices in good time so that the documents are available in good time and in full. We will be happy to help you obtain some of the documents.

Whether it’s a spacious apartment in an old building, a bungalow on the outskirts of town or a luxurious single-family home in the north of the city, experience shows that owners set a selling price that is significantly too high. The home is loved and a lot of time and effort has been invested. The tasteful and high-quality interior design is often of little interest to the prospective buyer when selling the property and price premiums are not accepted.

Potential buyers are primarily interested in the technical condition of the property and the room layout. If you plan a quick renovation to increase the value or renovation of your property with the help of craftsmen in Hamburg, Hamburg architects & Co. this can increase the value of your property immensely.

The following questions will affect the purchase price of your property:

• What needs to be remediated in the short term?

• Are the bathroom and kitchen to be modernized?
• How is area layout and the stairs of the house?

Valuing an apartment: Determining the asking price

Every owner wants to market his property at the best possible price. For the buyer, the price must be realistic and comprehensible based on the characteristics of the property. In the offer price determination, gut feeling is not a good advisor, as emotions get in the way of a realistic price determination. With a market value appraisal from a professional valuation, you can find out what the optimal selling price is. If an offer is too expensive, the sale is unnecessarily protracted and can even declare a property a “slow seller”.

Advantage of the valuation: setting a realistic price

When it comes to determining the value of the property, the size, location and condition of the property play an important role. Other influential details are the demand in the particular location in Kriel, as well as the comparative prices with other properties. Turn to an experienced real estate agent for the valuation, you exclude the risk of loss and all other pitfalls. You save time and do not have to deal with the complex issue of selling real estate yourself.

These factors affect the value of your home:

• Location
• Size
• State
• Year of manufacture
• Equipment
• Market situation

A garden, terrace or balcony also increase the value of your apartment:

Process: From planning to execution

Selling a condominium requires consideration in terms of the appropriate timing and must be well planned. Extensive preparations are necessary. In addition, the appropriate price must be found and the property must be marketed in the best possible way. This is followed by the completion of the sale, in which you will be assisted by a notary as a neutral intermediary. The entire sales process can be divided into three phases:

Preparation – Sale – Settlement

So that you have the most important steps of the process at a glance, here is our checklist:

1. Assemble important documents
2. Rate apartment
3. Create exposé
4. Advertise apartment
5. Preparesales meetings
6. Conducttours
7. Credit check of the interested parties
8. Draw uppurchase contract
9. Notarization & Signature
10. Processing

Let’s take a closer look at each phase.

Preparation phase: timing & financial planning

As part of the sales planning process, you will be faced with questions about the duration and process of the sale, as well as the asking price that is appropriate for your property. Write down in advance what ancillary sales costs you will incur. These include the broker’s commission, notary fees, fees for obtaining individual documents and, if applicable, the cost of advertising your home. Also, set a realistic selling date and consider what modernization and renovation work you will need to do in advance.

These factors are what preparation is all about:

• Sales period
• Service charges
• Real estate preparation

Sales phase: marketing & purchase price negotiations

To get your apartment to the buyer, you need to market your property first. This can be done either defensively or offensively. If you prefer a discreet sale or if your apartment is particularly exclusive and luxurious, you can also opt for an off market sale.

Continue reading here: Marketing real estate

Three marketing strategies:

• Defensive
• Offensive
• Off Market

The listing of your apartment is followed by the viewing. In order to get a better picture of the apartment, most future owners would like to attend the viewing in person. It is rare that the prospective buyers are represented by someone else. Prepare yourself thoroughly for the sales talks and purchase price negotiations and dare to use your documents as a support for your argumentation.

Processing: Purchase contract, notarization & handover

The buyer is found? Congratulations! If the credit check is positive, you can start drafting the purchase contract. This will then be signed and notarized together with the buyer at the notary appointment. Important: Do not hand over the apartment until you have received the full purchase price. You have two options for paying the purchase price: Either have the money transferred directly or have it done through the notary’s escrow account.

Apartment handover only after receipt of the full purchase price

The property must be handed over broom-clean, so you should thoroughly clean and tidy your apartment beforehand:

Sell apartment privately or with a broker?

This question faces every owner who wants to sell his apartment. Private owners usually undertake the sale of apartments only once in a lifetime and do not have the necessary experience. If you want to sell a property in Kriel, you should consider in advance whether it is an offer to owner-occupiers or to capital investors. Even if the key data are the same: to convince an investor, even more negotiation expertise and real estate core competence are necessary.

Target group influences sales strategy

In other words, the more exclusive the property, the more we advise leaving the sale to an expert. Here is an overview of the advantages and tasks of a real estate agent.

Hiring a real estate agent: tasks & benefits

An experienced real estate agent supports you during the entire sales phase and also advises you on the topics of taxes and financing. He takes care of the preparation and planning of the sale, the sales phase and settlement. The advantage for you as a seller: You save time, energy and by avoiding unnecessary mistakes also costs! Some brokers also bring along their own buyer and investor network, which makes the sale immensely easier.

Advantages: More time & less stress

The tasks of a broker summarized:

• Valuation of the property
• Checking the buyer’s creditworthiness
• Creation of a professional exposé
• Creation of meaningful photos of your object
• Procurement of all documentsnecessary for the sale
• Development of a marketing strategy
• Coordination & implementation of visits
• Preparation of the purchase contract
• Conducting sales negotiations until closing
• Accompaniment of the notarization procedure
• Professional object handover

Private real estate sale without an agent: tips

If you decide to sell your apartment without the help of a real estate agent, it depends on a few details. Plan in advance what additional costs you will incur and how long the sale of the apartment may take. Analyze your target group in advance and choose a suitable marketing strategy. Protect yourself from non-payment by checking the creditworthiness of the prospective buyers and prepare a handover protocol in addition to the purchase contract.

Here is our guide: Selling property privately

With these tips, you will be well prepared for a private sale:

• Weigh incidental costs in advance
• Determine realistic time of sale
• Detailed preparation
• Select suitable marketing strategy
• Check creditworthiness of the buyer
• Prepare handover protocol
