Valuarvurdering (surveyor valuation)

A valuarvurdering is a professional valuation of a co-op’s building as a rental property, used as the basis for the andelskrone (share value). Since Lov 330 of 9 April 2024 it is valid for 42 months, up from 18. A high valuation can inflate the share value, so you pay more for the share.

The valuarvurdering is one of several lawful valuation principles in andelsboligforeningsloven § 5(2). It can give a higher property value, and therefore a higher maksimalpris, than the acquisition price or the public valuation.

The 42-month validity (about 3.5 years) also applies to valuations made before the law took effect on 15 April 2024.

If a new valuarvurdering is obtained, an older one can no longer be used in the share-value calculation, even if it is still under 42 months old.

Look at the valuation date and the price per m². If the andelskrone sits close to the ceiling because of an optimistic valuation, you are paying for a figure that may be written down at the next valuation.
