Remaining useful life appraisal for apportionment
As an apportionment agent in the sale of real estate for investors, you are probably also confronted with the current interest rate changes and the associated implications for the calculation of returns for your potential customers.
Here we offer you strong arguments for the sale of your properties by bundling your offer with a remaining useful life appraisal, which can often offer your customer an additional and very stress-free return of often 1% to even more than 5% percent due to the increase in depreciation (depreciation of wear and tear).
Important information in advance
- There are no upfront costs for you !
- You can have us calculate the expected depreciation in advance and integrate it into your marketing/sales mix
What requirements do the (residential) properties generally have to meet?
Please note the following property requirements for the successful integration of a remaining useful life appraisal into your sales activities:
- Sale to investors (as owner-occupiers cannot claim depreciation)
- Year of construction (significantly) before 1990 (otherwise the results of the remaining useful life report are comparable with the existing 2% AfA)
- Properties with a complete (core) refurbishment in the last 5 years of the 8 core trades (see checklist as PDF) are generally not worthwhile (for properties not used for residential purposes, a remaining useful life can still make sense!)
What is NOT in a remaining useful life report?
The following points are important to mention, which - from your point of view as an apportioner - are not mentioned in a remaining useful life appraisal (RND appraisal) and will never appear in it:
- The RND appraisal does not mention the market value of the property!
- The remaining useful life report never mentions your purchase price before division!
