Who can value your property in Baar and Zug reliably?

Who writes this comparison?

This comparison is written by Rudat AG, itself an estate agent with its office in Baar and therefore one of the providers listed. We say so first, so that you know it while you read.

Fixed rules therefore apply: cost, duration and method are stated as the providers publish them themselves, with source and date of retrieval; legal details come from the official enactments. Where a provider publishes nothing, the table says not published. We do not rate anyone and we draw up no ranking. Documented corrections are adopted: write to info@rudatestates.ch.

Who values property in the canton of Zug?

Banks, valuation firms, independent valuers, the homeowners’ association, the cantonal valuation commission (Schätzungskommission), online calculators and estate agents: the table shows what each route costs according to the providers’ own information, how long it takes and how the valuation is made. Grouped by route, without ranking. As at 15 October 2026. The providers’ statements are paraphrased from their German-language websites; the original wording is quoted in the German version of this comparison (in German).

Further estate agents with an office in the canton of Zug are in our lists for Zug, Baar, Cham, Steinhausen and Rotkreuz.

Which valuation suits which purpose?

Not every valuation serves every purpose. What matters is who has to accept the value later: a buyer and their bank, co-heirs, a court or the tax administration.

Is the tax value the market value of your property?

No. The canton of Zug does not appraise properties on site for wealth tax: unlike many other cantons, it has no systematic on-site valuation of properties, the cantonal government (Regierungsrat) wrote on 11 April 2017. For an owner-occupied house bought in 2025, the guidance notes to the tax return count the purchase price plus value-adding investments as the market value for tax purposes; the wealth tax value is 75% of that. Let properties are valued by the tax administration on the capitalised gross income, at 7% for 2025.

According to the cantonal government, the last general reassessment of tax and rental values took place in 2001 and 2002. If you have owned your property for a long time, you should therefore not read the tax value as a sale price. For the tax on a sale, the actual proceeds count: Property gains tax in the canton of Zug.

How do you recognise a reliable valuation?

• The method is named: hedonic for apartments and houses, capitalised earnings value for investment property, expert report according to the Swiss Valuation Standards.
• It rests on prices actually paid, not on listings: IAZI and Wüest Partner calibrate their models on completed sales.
• Someone has seen the property: comparis itself writes that an online estimate is not enough for a comprehensive valuation of a property and that an on-site valuation is needed.
• The result states a range: even with good estimation quality, the uncertainty of a model valuation is around 10% according to Raiffeisen, and more for unusual properties.
• The qualification can be checked: the title property valuer with Swiss federal diploma (Immobilienbewerter/in mit eidg. Fachausweis) is protected (Art. 36 of the Federal Act on Vocational and Professional Education and Training, BBG).
• Interests are disclosed: whoever values and would also like to sell says so. Whoever uses a free calculator reads the privacy policy.
• The value holds up with the bank: your buyer’s bank lends at most against the market value, and its valuation may not include expectations of future increases in value (mortgage lending guidelines, sections 4.1 and 4.3).

How does Rudat AG value?

Rudat AG is an estate agent with its office at Neuhofstrasse 5A in Baar and therefore appears in the table itself. We value with the IAZI/CIFI models that Swiss banks use: hedonic for apartments and houses, capitalised earnings value for apartment buildings and commercial property. We check the model result on site and correct what a model does not see: condition, fit-out, view and entries in the land register.

The valuation is free and without obligation, even if you then do not sell or sell with another agent. Conrad Rudat calls you back within one working day; the result is usually available within three working days. If you need an expert report for a court or a disputed inheritance division, we tell you openly when an external appraisal is necessary. Procedure and documents: Property valuation; the methods in detail: How is the value of my property calculated?

What this means for your sale

For a sale, the value that counts is the one your buyer’s bank supports: it finances only the lower of market value and purchase price (mortgage lending guidelines of the Swiss Bankers Association, section 4.3.1). If the purchase price is higher, the buyer must pay the whole difference from their own funds.

A sensible order: an online calculator for the order of magnitude, if you accept that your details are passed on; then a valuation with inspection according to a bank model; an expert report only when an inheritance division, a divorce or a court requires it. A valuation with inspection is available from us free of charge and without obligation; the form is at the end of this page.
