Purchase price collection - information
Overview
The offices of the expert committees receive all contracts through which ownership of a property is to be transferred. These contracts are collected and evaluated anonymously with regard to the various circumstances influencing the value of a property.
The collection of purchase prices, including the documents sent, may only be viewed by the members of the expert committee and the employees of the office for the sole purpose of fulfilling their statutory duties. Information may only be provided insofar as it is necessary for the purpose of the valuation.
Upon request, the office may provide information on suitable comparative purchase prices, if available in the collection of purchase prices, upon proof of justified interest and stating the property to be valued.
Property-related information (e.g. stating the parcel and parcel number) may only be provided subject to certain conditions, usually verified experts for the preparation of a real estate appraisal.
Unless the purpose justifying the legitimate interest requires it, information and outputs from the purchase price collection shall be provided in such a way that the transmitted data can no longer be assigned to a specific or identifiable person, or only with disproportionate effort.
