If 5 people think a flat is worth 100K but the surveyor, for xyz reason thinks its only 80K - what will happen?
It will get sold for 100K.
And if the surveyor says itīs worth 120K and noone is prepared to pay for it - is it worth 120K? No, itīs not.
I agree with you that any flat is only worth what the buyer is prepared to pay but as a buyer I want to be sure that I am not paying more than the average market rate especially if I don't live in the city/country. The Gutachter compares the price of the flat to flats sold in that area over the last few years. If the price of your apartment varies signficantly you have a right to ask why.
