Modernization risk
When determining the mortgage lending value of real estate, the modernization risk is the expected costs for necessary adjustment measures, which are necessary in addition to the maintenance costs to maintain marketability and to permanently secure the initial rental level.
The modernization risk is part of the management costs according to Section 11 of the Mortgage Lending Value Determination Ordinance (BelWertV) and is deducted from the annual gross profit. The modernization risk to be applied in the assessment is specified in Annex 1 BelWertV as a proportion of the new construction costs depending on the type of property.
An example of modernization is the adaptation of the technical infrastructure of an office building (EDP cabling, etc.) to the state of the art at regular intervals. It is not enough to maintain the cables once they have been installed and to keep them ready for operation. When new cabling technologies emerge, the entire cabling may have to be replaced.
