Property valuation with expertise.

Perhaps you don’t need a valuation report at all.

And if you do, I will tell you which one.

Know what it’s worth.

Sound valuations. Clear decisions. Personal professional responsibility.

Understand first. Then value.

What can I help you with?

One click is enough. You get my first assessment, just as I would give it to you on the phone.

For private clients

I have inherited a property.Community of heirs, compulsory share, tax office

Jens Krüger on “I have inherited a property”

Then the first step is to clarify what you need the value for: an agreement between the heirs, one heir taking over the property, a sale or the tax office. The valuation date also matters, as does the question of whether everyone involved can agree on a common basis for the valuation. That tells us which type of valuation is right.

I want to transfer a property.Gift, lifetime transfer to the next generation

Jens Krüger on “I want to transfer a property”

With a gift or a lifetime transfer to the next generation, the details matter. A reserved right of residence or a usufruct can have a considerable effect on the value. And if several children are involved, the basis should be equally clear to all of them. Together we clarify the purpose, the valuation date and the rights agreed. Then I will tell you which valuation is appropriate.

We are separating.Accrued gains, buy-out, sale

Jens Krüger on “We are separating”

In that case an independent valuation that both sides can follow is helpful, ideally commissioned jointly. What matters is what the value is needed for – the equalisation of accrued gains, a buy-out or a sale – and as at which dates. I can also determine values as at dates several years in the past.

I want to buy or sell.Pre-purchase consultation, market value

Jens Krüger on “I want to buy or sell”

If you are buying: before you sign, I inspect the property with you – its condition, visible risks, foreseeable investment and whether the price matches the property. (Pre-purchase consultation from €499, with an additional short-form valuation on request)

If you are selling: you receive an expert assessment of the market value – a sound basis for your decision to sell. On request, also as a fully documented market value report.

I want to know what my property is worth.A first expert orientation

Jens Krüger on “I want to know what my property is worth”

That doesn’t have to mean a full report straight away. For a first expert orientation, a market value indication is often enough: based on the available property documents and current market data, without a site inspection, from €599. If you need or want more depth, we can move on to a short-form valuation or a full market value report.

We cannot agree on the value.Review of existing valuations

Jens Krüger on “We cannot agree on the value”

When different ideas of value collide, an independent and transparent valuation helps. If a valuation already exists – from an estate agent, a bank or another expert – I can first review its basis and plausibility. Otherwise I determine the value myself.

It is about depreciating my building.Remaining useful life reports for residential and commercial property

Jens Krüger on “It is about depreciating my building”

If a let building can actually be used for a shorter period than tax law assumes as standard, higher depreciation may be possible – whether for a flat, a house, a mixed-use building or a commercial property. The evidence is provided by a remaining useful life report. I first look at the year of construction, the condition and any modernisation, and tell you openly whether a shorter useful life can be substantiated. Your tax adviser clarifies the tax effect.

For investors, companies & law firms

I am assessing a property acquisition.Price, income, condition, capital expenditure

Jens Krüger on “I am assessing a property acquisition”

Then we look beyond the price: market value and purchase price, rents and operating costs, the building’s condition and the foreseeable capital expenditure. That way you know the opportunities and risks before you commit. Send me the exposé and the rent roll, and I will tell you which scope of review is appropriate.

I want to analyse my property portfolio.Values, income, priorities

Jens Krüger on “I want to analyse my property portfolio”

Then we look at each property on the same basis: current value, income position, building condition and capital expenditure needs. This shows which properties perform and where action pays off – as a basis for your decision to hold, develop or sell. Existing valuations can often be updated.

I need a full market value report.For shareholders, banks, courts, tax authorities

Jens Krüger on “I need a full market value report”

If the value has to be documented robustly for third parties – shareholders, lenders, a court or the tax office – the full market value report is the right choice. For internal decisions, a short-form valuation is often sufficient. Tell me about the property, the purpose and the valuation date, and you will receive a specific quotation.

I want an existing report reviewed.Expert statement, counter-valuation, update

Jens Krüger on “I want an existing report reviewed”

I check whether the input data, assumptions and methodology hold up, and tell you clearly what any deviations mean for the value. An expert statement is often sufficient; where there are well-founded doubts, a counter-valuation follows. If you want to reuse an older valuation of your own, I check whether it is still usable or update it to a new valuation date.

It is about a commercial or investment property.From apartment buildings to production halls

Jens Krüger on “It is about a commercial or investment property”

With commercial and investment property, the economic and property-specific characteristics are what count. Apartment building, mixed-use building, supermarket or production hall: I have valued the whole spectrum, right up to a paper mill. We clarify the property, the letting situation and the purpose of the valuation. You then receive a properly calculated quotation.

I am enquiring on behalf of a client.Law firms, tax advisers, companies

Jens Krüger on “I am enquiring on behalf of a client”

Of course. Briefly describe the valuation task, the relevant valuation date and the type of property. We then clarify which scope makes sense, and I prepare a specific quotation for you. My services include full market value reports, short-form valuations and the review of existing reports up to a counter-valuation, for residential, commercial and special-purpose property.
