Real Value Approach
Real Value =
Economic age
Real Value = Construction value - depreciation + value of land
economic age:
age (building shell)
+ age (building envelope: roof, windows etc.)
+ age (outfitting of the building: paint, parquet flooring) * 2
+ age (building services: heating, etc.) * 2
sum/6 = economic age
Real estate ownership in Switzerland
− Land ownership
− Ground lease ownership (Baurecht) represents a long-term easement recorded in the land registry that entitles its
beneficiary to erect and own constructions on the base plot. It is a form of ownership frequently used for strategic
development zones, such as industrial zones in Switzerland’s main cities.
− Condominium-principled ownership (Eigentümergemeinschaft) represents a form of land ownership by which one
right of ownership is owned by a community of owners.
Most common ownership in Switzerland:
− Sole ownership
− Co-ownership (meist Stockwerkeigentum); predominant form is the condominium-principled co-ownership
− Main characteristic: different persons own separate units in a common property.
− The co-owners have the exclusive right to make sole use of specific parts of a building. Each condominium owner can manage,
use and design the structure of their units as they wish but must not obstruct any other condominium owners in the exercise of
their own rights or damage the common parts of the property.
− Importantly, each unit has its own folio in the land register and may be sold separately without the consent of the other.
