Fee:
MatthiasKirchner | Expert office on real estate appraisal | Portfolio evaluation & due diligence
The fee for private appraisal reports and all other valuation activities is charged according to the regulations for architects’ and engineers’ fees (§ 34 HOAI).
Services of court-appointed valuers are charged in compliance with the „JVEG“(fee for experts, interpreters, translators…).
Individual agreements:
In special cases, individual agreements on the expert’s fee are possible and necessary, as sometimes the scale of value of the HOAI does not suit to the range of the expert’s activities. This could be possible for properties where only a small range of services is needed although the property is of considerable value (for example due to a prime location). On the contrary, cases may be possible where the property is of low value and in spite of this, detailed services are needed.
