Up-to-date and reliable property values are essential, for example, in acquisitions and selling, in the analysis and improvement of property portfolios, in private reorganisation of public housing portfolios, in accounting for real estate assets in financial statements, and not least for inexpensive borrowing.

Our offerings are comprehensive and tailored to your specific needs. Depending on the reason for the valuation and desired valuation scope, we create individual expert opinions and valuation reports or deliver value indications, value updates, desktop reviews or plausibility statements on expert opinions.

The drivers of property valuations specifically include:

• Transactions (share/asset deals)

• Financing and mortgaging

• Portfolio optimisation/asset management

• Financial statements (HGB and IFRS)

• Taxation

• Project development (scenario analysis)

Valuation orders are handled by a competent team consisting of experts on real estate appraisals and surveyors. Where needed, additional BDO specialists are called in.
