Our appraisers have specialist knowledge and many years of experience. They create a market-compliant appraisal of your property to help you achieve sustainable profitability. From undeveloped land and owner-occupied residential properties (single-family homes or condominiums) to investment properties such as hotels and restaurants, industrial, office and commercial properties, public buildings as well as land subject to building rights, they value properties of any use and size, taking into account various easements (e.g. residential rights, usufructuary rights, or rights to build closer).

A well-founded real estate valuation provides a solid basis for risk-informed investment decisions, whether related to buying, selling, financing, or legal matters such as inheritance, taxation, or the division of an estate. It ensures that the true market value is transparent and verifiable.
The Real Estate Valuation Team at Julius Baer Real Estate assesses all types of property – from undeveloped land, detached houses and flats to investment properties such as apartment buildings, office and commercial properties, industrial sites, serviced properties, care homes, hotels, restaurants, and properties with building rights.
A professional real estate valuation considers, among other factors, the location, condition, use, profitability and legal framework conditions, including easements and building rights. Unlike non-professional valuations, all relevant factors are systematically analysed, thereby providing a reliable basis for sale, purchase, financing, or legal matters.
We provide acquisition and sale valuations, portfolio valuations, financing valuations, court-ordered valuations, rental value assessments, and land and residual value calculations, as well as valuations relating to estate settlements and building rights. These services are complemented by strategic advisory, scenario analyses, and the valuation of operational properties.
The valuation experts at Julius Baer Real Estate use several recognised methods to determine a precise and market-compliant property value. These include the income approach, the cost approach and hedonic methods, as well as supplementary land value and residual value calculations, rental value assessments, and specialised approaches for operational properties such as hotels, restaurants or care homes. This combination results in a reliable valuation for sales, purchases, financing and legal decisions.
Our valuers have many years of experience in the field of property valuation (typically more than five years). We adhere to international and national valuation standards (RICS/IVS and SVS). Our team includes certified valuation experts (MRICS, SVIT Chamber of Valuation Experts) as well as professionals active in academia. This ensures that our valuations comply with the relevant guidelines. Furthermore, we are subject to the strict compliance requirements of Bank Julius Baer and FINMA.
Our valuations are based on a comprehensive database of transactions, financing deals and purchase price information. We supplement our in-house data with information from several well-known and major external property service providers. Combining this data with the expertise of our valuers and the tools we use enables us to deliver high-quality, market-driven valuations.
