The correct valuation
Accurate property valuation is complex. This is because property value depends largely on countless factors such as location, year of construction, condition and type of property, as well as amenities and the current supply and demand ratio. We explain the six most important factors that significantly influence the value of your property.
“Location, location, location”: the old real estate adage still holds true. Location is often even more important than the property itself. A distinction is made between micro-location and macro-location.
While micro-location describes the immediate surroundings of the property, such as the neighbourhood, macro-location also includes the region in which the property is located.
The attractiveness of the location depends, among other things, on the existing infrastructure and the cultural, educational and leisure facilities on offer.
1920 or 2024? In need of renovation or as good as new? Age has a decisive impact on the value of a property. This has less to do with the year of construction itself than with the circumstances associated with the age of the property.
If a property is particularly old, this could mean urgent or regular renovation work – and a lower value. On the other hand, older properties are often highly sought after by enthusiasts.
The structural condition is of particular interest to potential buyers, especially in terms of energy efficiency. This is because damage to important components such as the foundations or poor energy efficiency can quickly result in very high renovation costs.
Whether you want to have a property in the city, in the countryside or near the coast valued, our experts will advise you on the best possible course of action regarding the condition of your property.
Is it a terraced house, a detached house, an attic flat or a stately villa? The type of property determines the demand for a property and thus also the asking price.
How many rooms does the property have? Does it have a basement or a large garden? Are there any special features such as a terrace, underfloor heating or a built-in sauna that increase its value?
Last but not least, general supply and demand in the local property market significantly determine purchase price valuation. Our local agents at Engel & Völkers are knowledgeable about the current demand in your region, past transactions, and how it affects the value of your property.

FAQ
There are basically two ways to have your property valued: online and on site. Both services are, of course, always free of charge and non-binding at Engel & Völkers.
Online valuation: You can have your property valued online to obtain an initial estimate. You can use our online property valuation tool here.
On-site valuation: Request a personal valuation from our experts at Engel & Völkers. Simply contact us online and we will get back to you shortly with a suggested appointment time.
Tip: Be sure to make use of both options. An online valuation alone cannot replace a personal on-site assessment. If you are planning to sell, consult the experts at Engel & Völkers.
With in-depth market knowledge and a professional marketing strategy, we will guide you competently through the entire sales process.
Before selling a property, it is important to determine its current market value through an accurate valuation – this is the only way to set a realistic price. However, an up-to-date property valuation is also valuable in inheritance matters, for example for an advance on inheritance, after a divorce or if you want to adjust your financing.
The result of your Engel & Völkers online property valuation is based on the five most important factors that influence the price of a property:
Property type – detached or semi-detached house or a flat?
Living space and land area
Macro location – the wider surroundings and region
Micro location – in which district/part of the municipality your property is located
Year of construction
Current demand also plays an important role in determining the value of your property.
Our online valuation is ideal if you only need an initial estimate. The details of your property are analysed in detail and compared with a large number of similar properties. The estimate is also supplemented with local market information. We use this data to determine the market value of your property.
Important: This value does not represent a general average value for properties in your location, but is always based on the individual characteristics of your property.
However, online tools cannot be as accurate as local experts. The latter are able to assess details and unusual features much better and can incorporate these into the valuation.
This means that the expertise and trained eye of experienced estate agents or valuers are still indispensable for an accurate valuation.
There are various common methods that real estate agents use to determine the market value of your property on site. The most commonly used methods are the comparative value method (also known as the hedonic method), the asset value method and the income value method.
For private residential properties, the comparative value method is used in most cases. This means that your property is compared with properties that are similar in terms of location, amenities, size and layout.
Every property is unique! Unlike online valuations, Engel & Völkers estate agents can also take into account the individual characteristics and all the details of your property on site. The agents appreciate the special history behind each individual property and have a good sense of the ‘hidden value’ of your property.
We will undertake an extensive valuation based on our extensive database, years of experience, and local market expertise. Our well-founded valuation takes into account the full potential of your property and includes a detailed market and target group analysis—as a basis for market-driven and realistic pricing.
Online valuations are usually free of charge. However, a valuation by local specialists can quickly run into four figures. Not so with Engel & Völkers: our experts will inspect and value your property free of charge and with no obligation.
The duration of the price determination depends on the individual characteristics of the property. As a rule, Engel & Völkers estimates up to three weeks for the exact price determination. Once the valuation is complete, we will share the results with you in a presentation and create a comprehensive dossier containing all the important information.
Yes! There are numerous measures you can take to increase the value of your property for valuation before sale, such as:
Visual renovations such as painting exterior walls or laying new flooring. The better maintained, the better!
Energy-efficient renovations such as installing new windows and modern heating systems. Especially in the current climate, potential buyers are paying particular attention to energy costs.
The experts at Engel & Völkers will be happy to give you specific tips on how you can further increase the price of your property.
