Do you require a reliable valuation for a property in the Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen district? I prepare market value appraisals in accordance with § 194 BauGB and the ImmoWertV guidelines, condensed appraisal reports for private use, and appraisals regarding remaining useful life, rental value, and mortgage lending value.

The district extends from the southern part of Munich to the Alps. Wolfratshausen, Geretsried, and Icking are within the catchment area of the S-Bahn (suburban rail) and are subject to significant demand pressure from Munich; the southern part around Bad Tölz and the lakes is characterized by recreational use.

What is value-relevant here

Secondary residences and recreational use. In the lake regions and the Alpine foothills, demand for second homes accompanies primary residence use. Municipal regulations on the misuse of housing must be assessed on a case-by-case basis, as they may limit the property's marketability.

Commuter location. Along the S-Bahn axis to Munich, accessibility is a measurable characteristic that is clearly reflected in residential location quality.

Slope locations and building ground. In the pre-Alpine region, slope gradient, foundation costs, and infrastructure development significantly influence the usability of a property.

Market structure

The basis for any valuation is the data from the competent expert committee (Gutachterausschuss). The Expert committee of the Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen district pursuant to § 195 BauGB, maintains the purchase price database, 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 and comparison factors. Standard land values can be obtained from the committee against a fee; the purchase price database and real estate market report are also available there.

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.
