This value offers buyers and sellers of properties a useful guide for determining the land value of a plot in a specific location, without being legally binding. However, it is not the sole decisive factor for the land value, as many factors ultimately play a role.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>What exactly is the standard land value?<\/h2>\n<p>What exactly is the standard land value?<br \/>\nThe standard land value is an official average value. For a specific area, it indicates the value or price of one square meter of land. It is primarily used as an aid in real estate valuation when the comparative value method is not applicable. In addition, it serves as the basis for the tax assessment of land and property. The standard land values are determined for specific zones, which may encompass streets, neighborhoods, or localities.<\/p>\n<h2>How is the land value determined?<\/h2>\n<p>Section 196 of the Federal Building Code specifies how standard land values must be calculated precisely. Accordingly, the average of officially collected purchase prices for plots of land in the respective region forms the basis for determining standard land values. These collections of purchase prices are compiled on the basis of notarized real estate purchase prices.<\/p>\n<p>Real estate sales must be reported in the Federal Republic. The average price per square meter of land is then calculated from the prices actually obtained.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the federal state, standard land values are determined with varying frequency. In practice, the standard land value is compiled and published at least every two years as of a specific reference date. As a rule, this reference date falls on December 31 or January 1 of a given year.<\/p>\n<p>The standard land value map is created from the standard land values. This standard land value map exists for all districts, independent cities and district-affiliated cities, for municipalities and localities, and for the constituent districts in the Federal Republic of Germany.<\/p>\n<p>Interested parties can obtain information on standard land values from the responsible offices of the committees of valuation experts.<\/p>\n<h2>How meaningful is the standard land value?<\/h2>\n<p>As the term \u201ebenchmark value\u201c already indicates, standard land values are merely simplified bases for determining the value of real estate and plots of land. Therefore, it is essential to use additional factors for the valuation of land.<\/p>\n<p>Factors influencing value include, among others:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The nature of the soil<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The developability of a plot of land, for example regarding its shape and a development plan<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The degree of connection, for example with regard to water, wastewater, gas and electricity<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The surroundings<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The location<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Particularly the location of a property \u2013 urban, rural, in high demand \u2013 can positively or negatively influence the standard land value. In addition to a good supply and excellent infrastructure, factors such as the neighborhood also have a positive impact on the standard land value.<\/p>\n<h2>What is the difference between the standard land value and the market value?<\/h2>\n<p>Based on the market situation and current demand, the market value provides information on the price a plot of land or property would achieve upon sale. In contrast, the standard land value represents a more generalized base value, which can nevertheless be used as a baseline for calculations.<\/p>\n<p>Due to its typically biennial determination, the standard land value is often outdated and cannot adequately account for factors that influence a property's value. Therefore, it is usually significantly below the actual market value of the property.<\/p>\n<h2>The role of the standard land value for the land value<\/h2>\n<p>The standard land value is not identical to the market value and also has no connection to the actual value of the land. Therefore, it says nothing about the land or property value.<\/p>\n<p>The benchmark value often shows significant deviations from the actual value, as various factors that can vary from plot to plot influence the value. The decisive factors for the value of the land are primarily the developability of the property and the maximum living space that can be built on it.<\/p>\n<p>The value of a plot of land increases with the size of the living space that can be built on it and the price this space achieves on the market. The value of a plot of land should therefore be determined separately prior to sale. Under no circumstances should it be based solely on standard land values.<\/p>\n<h2>How important is the standard land value when selling a house?<\/h2>\n<p>Under normal conditions\u00a0<a title=\"House sale\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rogers-immobilien.de\/en\/sell-house-munich-2\/\">Sale of a house<\/a>\u00a0Depending on the market situation, the standard land value plays a major or sometimes a subordinate role. Plot values, and consequently property values, are frequently far above the standard land values. Sellers should therefore not base their valuation on standard land values.<\/p>\n<p>Usually, the valuation of a house is carried out using the comparative value method. This means that an expert, such as a real estate agent, inspects and assesses the property. In doing so, they incorporate their knowledge of current market conditions and comparable properties into the evaluation.<\/p>\n<h2>Obtain information on a standard land value in Munich<\/h2>\n<p>The appraisal committee publishes the reference land values for Munich.
