• Are undergoing a divorce where assets must be divided fairly.
• Have inherited a property with multiple heirs involved.

Real estate valuation or non-binding property value estimator?

Both a formal property valuation and a market value estimate provide insights into the worth of your real estate. However, there is a key difference: while a property value estimator offers a simple, free guide to your property’s potential price, a professional valuation provides a precise, written statement of the market value in the form of an official document.

A real estate valuation from s REAL is prepared by certified professionals. These experts analyze every detail - including location, condition, construction quality, and unique features—to summarize the property value in a clear, comprehensible, and legally sound document.

How is property value calculated? 

The process of a professional real estate valuation involves an in-depth analysis. This starts with an independent and objective on-site inspection. Our experts examine the apartment and its fixtures or the house, including all outdoor areas and outbuildings, directly at the location. Following the inspection, the appraiser calculates the current market value. To value houses or apartments accurately, all relevant factors are considered: 

• Property-specific characteristics: Type, condition, age, and construction style.
• Location: Micro and macro-location, infrastructure, and surroundings.
• Features: Interior quality, energy efficiency, and recent renovations.

The final property valuation is presented as a detailed dossier, including copies of all relevant documents, professional photos, and a thorough description. Even if not legally required for every sale, this in-depth real estate valuation serves as the perfect foundation for a successful transaction. Our experts are happy to assist you with both valuation and selling your property .

What happens in a property valuation?

During a real estate valuation, a certified expert conducts a systematic analysis of the property. This includes an on-site inspection where the condition, construction quality, fixtures, and energy efficiency are evaluated. The appraiser then compares these findings with current market data and regional trends. Finally, all factors—such as location, legal status, and property characteristics—are summarized in an official dossier to determine the final property value. 

What devalues a house most?

Several factors can negatively impact the property value. The most significant "value killers" include:

• Poor Maintenance: Neglected repairs, outdated heating systems, or signs of dampness/mold.
• Location Issues: High noise levels (e.g., proximity to main roads or railways) or poor infrastructure.
• Unfavorable Layout: Small, dark rooms or an impractical floor plan that doesn't meet modern living standards.
• Legal Encumbrances: Unresolved rights of way or building regulation violations. Using a property value estimator early on can help identify these issues before a formal valuation.

When is a property valuation required in Austria?

In Austria, a formal real estate valuation is often legally or financially necessary in the following scenarios:

• Probate & Inheritance: To ensure a fair distribution of assets among heirs.
• Divorce: For the equitable division of matrimonial property.
• Taxation: To calculate real estate transfer tax or for valuations required by the tax office (Finanzamt).
• Financing: Many banks require a professional valuation as security for a mortgage.
• Business Transfers: When a property is moved from private to business assets (or vice versa).
