When is a party appraisal necessary?

• If no agreement can be reached, a neutral party appraisal can help consider the interests of both sides.
• An external expert can act as a mediator to find a fair and objective solution.
• If necessary, a court can order an official appraisal.

Distinction: Informal estimate vs. official valuation

An informal estimate is for personal orientation only and has no legal validity.

An official valuation is admissible in court and serves as a basis for legal or financial decisions.

Having the value recognized by the court: What steps are required?

• The valuation must be carried out by a certified appraiser.
• All relevant documents (land register excerpt, building plans, current market analyses) must be submitted.
• The court may request an additional plausibility check.
