Do you need a reliable valuation for a property in Altötting District? I prepare market value appraisals in accordance with § 194 BauGB and the requirements of the ImmoWertV, condensed appraisal reports for private use, as well as appraisals on remaining useful life, rental value, and mortgage lending value.
The district is located on the Inn River, bordering Upper Austria. Burghausen and Töging are characterized by the chemical industry, while Altötting, as a pilgrimage site, has its own visitor and overnight market.
What is value-relevant here
Industrial site. Demand is closely tied to the major employers in the chemical industry. For investment properties, this is highly significant on the income side, as employment and in-migration sustain the rental market.
Border location. Proximity to Upper Austria impacts the labor market and demand. For valuation purposes, this must be captured through market adjustments, not via flat-rate surcharges.
Inner area and outer area. In rural municipalities, the classification under § 34 or § 35 BauGB determines buildability and, consequently, the land value.
Market structure
The basis for any valuation is the data from the competent expert committee (Gutachterausschuss). The Expert committee (Gutachterausschuss) for Land Values of the District of Altötting pursuant to § 195 BauGB, conducts the collection of purchase prices, derives the standard land values from this data, and publishes the real estate market report containing transaction figures, price trends, and the required data — including property yield rates, cost approach factors, and comparison factors. Standard land values, the purchase price collection, and the real estate market report are exclusively available from the committee itself.
These data apply exclusively to the area of the respective committee. This is why a value cannot be derived from a neighboring district: a different purchase price database, a different property yield rate, and a different valuation date apply there. Relying on nationwide average values misses the mark entirely.
