Sworn experts are available everywhere - the Chamber of Commerce lists
the addresses

What is a house really worth? The question of the "market value" on
everyone who wants to buy or sell a home. Depending on the particular
interests one wishes then that the value of the house is assessed as
low or as high as possible. Distributed throughout virtually the whole
of Germany there are "public appointed and sworn expert for the
valuation of undeveloped and developed land." The local Chamber of
Commerce will notify the appropriate addresses with you. The ladies
and gentlemen experts / engineers or architects are mostly internal.
That makes sense, just because they are uniquely qualified to detect
hidden or latent defects. So basically everyone is well advised to
raise the fees for such an evaluation before he falls for a building
that the seller has "glossed over" in order to achieve the highest
possible sale price.

Downside: Expert Reviews hardly liable for false

Proficiency examination before the Chamber of Commerce and swearing or
not: Even if experts there are serious differences in quality. So one
does well to be called from the experts at least three references. Are
you still fall for a bad reviewer, you're out of luck: Reviewers are
almost impossible to grab if you want to sue them for damages. Even
gross negligence, the BGH considered as a reason for a compensation.
There must be intent already in the game - and how do you prove that?
Now we want but do not paint the devil on the wall. As a rule, are the
reports that reflect the value of a property, a reliable help. You may
not even bother, that the internal report, which set up the banks, if
they are to finance a new building or buying a house, go out an
average of a 20% lower value than the one identified publicly
appointed expert. Banks want simply to secure such an extent that they
take any risks.

The comparison method of calculating the value

The assessor can the land and / or building value - ie the so-called
market value - determined by three methods. Simply the thing is, if he
wants to investigate a large row house or condominium values. There's
always the same type of houses or flats are sold, he can derive an
average for the current selling prices of a large number of
corresponding objects. In any case, he must see the object but also
thoroughly, for a townhouse to be evaluated can have very different
intrinsic values ​​(eg elaborate marble bathrooms) and the other
similar houses did not have. The reverse is also true for defects such
as chipped decking, cracks in concrete, etc., etc. When comparing
methods, the location of the property, of course, plays an important
role. Houses in a quiet residential neighborhood are selling better
than those known to be directly behind the railway embankment.

The Cost Approach to Valuation

The asset value method found in § § 21-25 of the Valuation Ordinance
(WertV) its legal basis. The preliminary asset value is made up of
land value, building value and the value of foreign investments
together. The floor value is determined primarily in the comparative
value method, here is the location of the land is of great importance.
The building value of the reviewers identified because of the
production costs taking into account an impairment due to aging. On
the other hand, he must of course also the outdoor facilities, for
example, estimate that is a park-like garden, at fair value. And he
must take into account deviations from the normal structural condition
properly.

The income approach to valuation

The income capitalization method is described in § § 15-20 WertV
regulated and plays a role especially when a tenement is to be
evaluated. That may not always be a multi-family house - this can also
be a villa which is rented or leased to be. The income from such
property play in the mortgage lending by banks, but also a role in
matters of inheritance. The capitalized value is made up of the land
value and the capitalized value of the house. The value of the
building is determined on the basis of the yield. This is based on the
sustainable attainable annual net profit. This in turn results from
the gross income, ie rents and leases, net of operating expenses,
which are defined in § 16 para 1 WertV set. In determining the gross
income but are not based on actual rents, but the customary rents (§
17 para 2 WertV). This makes sense because a homeowner might otherwise
affect the gross profit any - as such that he rented a house to his
daughter at a cheap price or to his practicing as a specialist and
high-earning wife to a fancy price.

Covert and detect hidden defects - how far does it go?

A qualified expert has a flair for finding out what might be hidden
behind a fairly new-looking paneling. But it must go in a report to
determine the market value of a house not far and hit the outside wall
of a house about to determine how the facade was insulated. He may
also draw no air samples to be analyzed whether the air is polluted.
He will theoretically be able to, but he has no job and for that he is
not paid within its consulting activities. If he finds - even
tentatively - that a strange odor suggests mold growth (and reviewers
have a sharp nose), he will speak with the client about whether or not
the air should be examined for mold spores. Here then is another
expert came from this week. Similarly, if the roof has verwurmt. This
would have an additional evaluators to decide whether the wood tick
("wood worm") is still active, whether the roof can be repaired or
needs, etc., etc. Conclusion: with a market value appraisals, the
reviewers only judge what he sees and knows.

For land - even in built-up land - it may be necessary for specialized
experts will be called in to examine means of soil sampling,
groundwater sampling and soil gas investigations, the presence of
contaminated sites. However, it will only rarely be the case that an
assessor for valuation already on the "smell" of the plot draws the
suspicion that here might have once been a landfill, which is known to
cause decades of outgassing. Therefore, take a look at the land
registry is helpful to refer to, which had the property owner.

And what does such an opinion?

As well as architectural services, the fee is calculated according to
difficulty levels. So one does well to come to an agreement with the
consultant prior to commissioning, which will put it based on
difficulty level. Here are the fees, which we own discretion. You must
know that the charges may well decrease - namely, when a fair value
determination is to be determined only by reference to the property
value or return value. There are other discount options, which you
should discuss with your reviewer before.

Showhouse - how to get such a bargain?

Not a day goes by that user does not ask for "www.fertighaus.de":
Where and how can I purchase an inexpensive model house for a bargain?
The question is legitimate - and often even "garnished" with the
remark: "I have since seen something on TV about it ...!" Now you must
know, that much of what is on television, faked or "dramatic" reasons
is embellished or watered down. The editors of "fertighaus.de" has
been asking why again. The most important result: There is no "model
home-market" - not in our market-leading Internet service. Why not?
Because firms such houses were, "as of" sell - if at all. Before you
sign up with the idea to buy a model home, but you must read and
intense the next two paragraphs!

Not every model home may be built anywhere
If you actually break down somewhere in a model home can, so you can
not place it far from "somewhere" again. First, consider creating a
"used" house in a different place is a new building regulations. It
must therefore be a building permit must be obtained and all
procedures are to "endure" such as described in our article.

You may get banned schichtweg namely to set up this house. There can
be two reasons. The EnEV (Energy Conservation Act) establishes
requirements for new buildings be completely different, as they had to
be considered for the show house, seven or ten years. Most likely
you'll be lucky, because most pre-evaluated also houses a decade ago,
as high heat-insulated, that the rules of EnEV be reached or the house
must be upgraded only to a limited extent.

Is this not the case, you need to "grab" additional thermal insulation
on the house, use all other windows, etc. Then it's better and cheaper
to buy a new prefabricated house immediately.

The other hurdle, however, lies in the development plans, which may be
included in any quantity specifications. In any case, for example, be
a specific provision of roof in a new development - and if your model
home has not this form, then you just get a building permit. Also the
development boundaries have been defined. And if your model home that
exceeds by 20 inches, then you've just had bad luck.

Please conclude from this: you need only the specifications of the
Bebaungsplan internalize and then go in search of a show house.

Sooo are cheap disassembled model homes again not!
A disassembled prefab house is no longer ready, but - if the shell is
again - a development house. On the bottom plate to leave you must
have the screed and the flooring throughout the ground floor, so may
and the noble marble or expensive parquet. If you break down the roof
tiles can beschädigungslos, is the question. You might not get a
replacement pans in the same color tone. All installation must cut
lines, the heating, the bathtub, the shower, the toilet, the kitchen -
everything has to be dismantled. The roof is not a finished part, but
is reduced for beams and bars just built up so again. In other words:
The insulation and cladding (usually with plasterboard) must be taken
out and is hardly to exploit again. The tiling of the bathrooms and
the kitchen redeemed itself anyway by the vibration during
transportation or she inevitably pulls at the corners where the walls
are dismantled. Expect disassembly, crane trucks, transportation,
prefabricated building assembly and finishing work to many, it will
all count only if you yourself are a very good handyman and you are
experienced specialists on hand.

The staff members have priority when buying pattern of houses
If at all model homes sold as a whole at a particular location or
model homes are broken down somewhere, then the message is of course
within the company "like a wildfire." In general, then log of
everything for company employees who wish to either buy the house at
that location or are particularly interested in the mining version.
And since one of the subject is you have colleagues, carpenters and
other construction specialists on hand to dismantle the house. You can
rent a crane to the truck for further transport borrows a (perhaps)
the employer. The new assembly is then concerned with the team of
colleagues. This may annoy those outside, but let's be honest: The
fact that most of its employees, an employer / inside one accepts, and
indeed to the social component, one would expect from a contractor.

To dispute with the employee / avoid the inside, some companies write
the model house internally from the highest bidder. All employees are
also informed by a notice or circular "model home in Bamberg,
South-sell € 55,000 minimum bid." A method that is like "ebay" - only
made accessible to everyone.

Model homes in a model house exhibition Buy
Model house exhibitions are no facilities for eternity. Rather let the
municipalities / cities only limited to such an exhibition. After 10,
15 or 20 years, the fences that surround the individual plots, the
houses are dismantled and sold to interested parties. From the show
house will be a real-estate housing. To willing buyers abound. The
audience experiences during their inspections, that the exhibition
will soon be abandoned, and contact from the manufacturers, who often
entertained in these houses also own small sales offices. Sometimes
the manufacturers advertise as well as for ordinary building
structures.

A b e r, there are exceptions! One or the other manufacturer goes out
after seven or eight years, the type of home. On the existing floor
slab then a new house is in a different (more modern) optics. If the
trend goes in one direction wooden house, then just plastered the
house is dismantled and built a house with a wooden facade. The house
is plastered either "disposed of" or sold to a buyer. In the latter
case, the manufacturers have no great difficulty in finding a buyer.
Either of logs from a visitor to the exhibition, which has seen the
poster - or it gives an operating member (see previous section). Who
buys the house may not even be degraded itself, but gives it to
friends and relatives.

Free-standing model homes buy
There are many more individual model homes "in the landscape," as in
the model house exhibitions. These are especially well-equipped (one
wants to make a good impression on the visitors) and are almost always
sold with all furniture and equipment to all parts - including
built-in kitchen and bathroom fixtures. As a room of this house is
almost always used as a sales office and goes well over the years, a
certain flow of visitors through the house, wears off this course.
This has a little effect on the price - but not dramatically. For, on
the other hand, the buyer needs to do nothing more. Even the curtains
and the hanging garden with patio and walkway is created.

Detached prefabricated houses or wooden houses may have been three,
five or seven years used as a "consulting firms", before they are
brought into the sale. Since wears off quite a bit, although the
manufacturer mitigate such natural wear and tear with new carpeting
and new paint inside and out. But the kitchen is just then but seven
years old and the style perhaps not more so, as he now is "in". It
must therefore be taken into account. May also reflect the old heating
system no longer meets the current requirements.

How to handle the manufacturer disassembly and reassembly of a sample house?
Let's say you belong to the tiny circle of the buy a model home and
set up somewhere else can. What can you expect from the finished house
party? This is very different from manufacturer to manufacturer.

Option 1 - the manufacturer does not care
This variation is not so unusual. You get all the plans made by the
manufacturer, though, and maybe even a mechanic who gives professional
advice during disassembly. The rest goes on your cap! Of course, the
manufacturer no longer a guarantee of the house.

Option 2 - the manufacturer, the "new" shell on
This variant is more common. The company builds its own column from
the show house and is the "shell" again - ie walls and roof. You have
it then do so with the already quoted "prefabricated house". What is
the warranty, the manufacturer takes over, is negotiable.

Option 3 - the manufacturer does everything
Some manufacturers build off, build up and handed over the mined
patterns house then again as "new" prefabricated house. This will also
ensure to VOB or BGB - over - depending on contract design. This is
obviously the most expensive option and the home buyer has to figure
out yourself, if not a real building (almost) is so cheap. The aspect
of value must not be overlooked. In a subsequent sale obtained from
one-and reconstructed house prices significantly lower.

real estate developer House blueprint

A house is a house that is basically designed for a family, where
family means in this case, a group of people that are conducting a
joint household. Unlike, for example a larger apartment building that
is divided into apartments for more than one party, only one contains
a single-family residential unit and therefore only use a so-called
unity. Now is a single family home for many people the epitome of a
home and some one wants to fulfill this dream. However, the
construction or purchase of a home is a decision that would be well
thought out and calculated.

And here's a video that shows how a house is formed gradually.

Few owners are likely to have sufficient capital to purchase the land,
construction and interior of the house and the furniture and all other
charges completely to finance out of pocket. Accordingly, then a
mortgage is required. This is usually completed over many years and is
very important to make the mortgage so that they are actually
affordable over the entire running time remains. Finally, the most
beautiful house will ultimately not much use unless the owner of the
monthly loan installments can no longer afford.


A typical mistake made by many owners is, incidentally, also to set
the self-service way too high. Of course, many owners want to work on
their dream home and do this or that action himself. A whole house
will probably only very few DIYers can build yourself, because hardly
anyone is likely of all the necessary knowledge and skills include,
for example, as masons, carpenters, roofers, plumbers and electricians
is required when building a house. In this respect, there is probably
hardly a blueprint for a house, which covers all processes from
groundbreaking to final completion.


This is also hardly possible, as that can be observed depending on the
location of the house have different building code requirements. At
least some work, such as the introduction of insulation, painting, or
the laying of tiles and flooring, can the builder and home improvement
but also perform well themselves. Due to the amount the owner can
later argue rightly that he had his house at least partially built and
no doubt he can also save costs.

However, it must not underestimate the time the DIY factor. Even if
the home improvement has enough experience and can work as fast as a
pro-yourselfers can usually only work after hours, on weekends and
during his vacation at the site. In addition, these long-term stress
during the construction phase will cost a lot of strength and energy.

The different types of single-family homes

1) Before the home improvement and future client for instructions for
building his house searched and scoured the Internet, magazines or
books for ideas and suggestions for the implementation of certain
steps and the formation of his future living room, he should consider
first of all, what a house there ever will be.

2) In this context, in turn, are two issues of vital importance,
namely, first, what the client wants a house for himself and his
family, and secondly, that house is in his budget. The most common
types of single-family homes are detached single-family detached house
and the house number. In addition, single-family homes are divided
into multi-storey houses and bungalows.

Are 3) Other differences exist with respect to the design and the
materials used and on the energy standard. There is for example wood
houses, houses in solid construction, prefabricated houses, passive
houses and low-energy houses. One way to reduce the cost of
construction is something, this is to incorporate a so-called granny's
house.

4) In most cases, a granny flat is located in the basement or ground
floor of the house, sometimes she has a separate entrance. Through the
apartment, the builder can rent a portion of the living area and
included in the rental income to finance leave.
