Do you require a reliable valuation for a property in the Kelheim district? I prepare market value appraisals in accordance with Section 194 of the German Building Code (BauGB) and the requirements of the German Valuation Ordinance (ImmoWertV), condensed appraisal reports for private purposes, as well as appraisals regarding remaining useful life, rental value, and mortgage lending value.
The district is located between Regensburg and Ingolstadt at the confluence of the Danube and Altmühl rivers. The southern part around Mainburg belongs to the Hallertau, the largest contiguous hops-growing region.
What is value-relevant here
Hops cultivation. In the Hallertau region, farmsteads with drying and storage buildings are common. They require a separate analysis of the value components and an assessment of the economic usability of the building structure.
Flooding on the Danube. Whether a plot of land is located within a designated flood zone or behind protective structures is significant for its buildability and insurability.
Two major urban centers. The northern part of the district is oriented towards Regensburg, the western part towards Ingolstadt. Both connections have different effects and must be considered separately.
Market structure
The basis for any valuation is the data from the competent expert committee (Gutachterausschuss). The Expert committee (Gutachterausschuss) of the Kelheim District pursuant to Section 195 of the Building Code (BauGB) manages the purchase price register, derives standard land values from it, and publishes the real estate market report with transaction figures, price trends, and the required data — property yield rates, cost approach factors, and comparison factors. The standard land values can be viewed free of charge via the state's map service; the expert committee itself maintains the purchase price register and the real estate market report.
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.

Which approach is appropriate here?
In the larger municipalities, the collection of purchase prices is sufficient for the sales comparison approach; in smaller municipalities, there are often too few sales transactions per year for the Cost approach for single- and two-family homes represents the more viable approach. For rented properties and mixed-use buildings, this Income approach decisive. The choice of valuation method must be justified in the appraisal report — not the other way around.
Which appraisal report do you need?
This is essential for the tax office, courts, and banks. market value report the correct format. If the matter concerns a private decision — sale price, inheritance settlement, or renovation — a condensed appraisal report is often sufficient. short-form appraisal at a fixed price. For a higher depreciation, the Remaining useful life appraisal report consider, for rent levels and rent increases, the Rental value appraisal.
