You need a reliable valuation for a property in Regensburg? I prepare market value appraisals in accordance with § 194 BauGB and the ImmoWertV guidelines, condensed appraisal reports for private use, as well as appraisals covering remaining useful life, rental value, and mortgage lending value.
Regensburg is located approximately 120 kilometers northeast of Munich on the Danube River. The A3 and A93 motorways converge here, and rail lines to Munich, Nuremberg, and Passau terminate at the main station. The medieval old town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site; the university and university of applied sciences drive demand for smaller apartments.
Regensburg is a district-free city and has its own expert committee (Gutachterausschuss) with its own purchase price register. The medieval old town is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site; the university and university of applied sciences shape an independent market for small apartments.
What is value-relevant here
World Heritage and monument protection. A large portion of the existing stock in the old town is under monument protection or ensemble protection. Renovation costs, usability of the upper floors, and tax treatment depend directly on the monument status — blanket approaches are not applicable here.
University campus. The university and higher education institutions generate specific demand for small apartments. For investment properties, this is relevant on the income side as it shapes vacancy risk and turnover.
Flooding on the Danube. Parts of the city area are located in designated flood zones or behind protective structures. This significantly impacts buildability, insurability, and value, and is verified based on official determinations.
Own committee. For properties in the district of Regensburg, different data and a different expert committee (Gutachterausschuss) apply. Confusion regularly leads to incorrect comparable values.
Market structure
The basis for any valuation is the data from the competent expert committee (Gutachterausschuss). The Expert committee (Gutachterausschuss) of the city of Regensburg 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.

Which approach is appropriate here?

Other urban districts without district status
In independent cities, the expert committee (Gutachterausschuss) maintains its own purchase price database, separate from the surrounding rural district. Confusing these jurisdictions leads to using incorrect comparable values. This same separation applies in:
The city in figures
As a district-free city, Regensburg maintains its own purchase price collection and its own expert committee (Gutachterausschuss), separate from the surrounding district. This is crucial for valuation purposes: comparable cases from the surrounding area do not apply here, and jurisdiction ends at the city limits.
