Over 15 years of experience in Munich, Bavaria & the surrounding area. Commission the best real estate agents for your property in Knonau.
Between the decision to sell and the notary appointment in Knonau, there are usually several months of work: gathering documents, reliably determining the value, finding the right buyer group, negotiating. We take over these steps completely and keep you informed of every interim status.
A significant proportion of properties in Knonau change owners before an advertisement is placed. Those with a registered search profile are on the list the moment an owner commissions us. You describe once what you are looking for — location, size, budget, condition — and you will only hear from us when it truly matches.

We generally market your property in Knonau initially off-market — without a sign, without an online advertisement, without a public exposé. Only when the discreet route has been exhausted and you expressly wish it, do we move to broad marketing. This way, your privacy is preserved — from neighbours, tenants, employees, and the tax office.

For Swiss municipalities, the Federal Statistical Office (FSO) does not publish square metre prices per municipality, but rather the national residential property price index IMPI. We therefore show the national index – as a reference for long-term price development in Knonau. Basis: Q4 2019 = 100.
Index level 2026: 126.8 points (Basis Q4 2019 = 100)
The national FSO index IMPI reflects the development of transaction prices for owner-occupied housing in Switzerland. As the FSO does not publish square metre prices specific to municipalities, the national index serves as a reliable reference for long-term price development — including in Knonau.

Knonau is one of those municipalities where no statistically reliable price per square metre can be established because there are too few transactions. Capital investors should check the re-letting potential in Knonau. In small municipalities, the pool of tenants is limited, but tenancies are often long-term. The Affoltern district generally serves as a comparison area, as the demand profile and construction style there are most comparable to Knonau. An individual assessment for a specific property in Knonau is possible despite the thin data situation; it is carried out using comparative values and a property inspection.
Frequently asked questions about buying, selling, financing, and living in Knonau — concisely answered.
Property annuity (Immobilienverrentung) in Knonau means: You transfer ownership, but retain the right of use. Four options are available — Usufruct (Nießbrauch) (most extensive rights, including letting), Right of abode (personal use), Life annuity (monthly payment instead of a lump sum) and Sale-and-leaseback (sale at full price, followed by a rental agreement).
Which option is suitable depends on your age, health status, inheritance situation and the current market value of your property in Knonau. These factors directly influence the valuation — therefore, we do not make blanket promises regarding the achievable amount.
The initial consultation is free and without obligation. Upon request, we will involve relatives, tax advisors or notaries from the outset, so that the solution is also sustainable within the family in Knonau.
For many businesses, capital is tied up in Knonau in their own property instead of in operational business. Sale & Lease-Back solves this: sale to an investor, simultaneously a long-term lease agreement that secures usage. Business operations, address, and workforce remain where they are.
A lot changes in the balance sheet — the property leaves the fixed assets, depreciation becomes rental expense. Whether this is advantageous for your company depends on the legal form, financing structure, and tax starting position; therefore, we calculate this together with your tax advisor before anything is signed.
Crucial for the achievable price are the lease agreement term, creditworthiness, and third-party usability (Drittverwendungsfähigkeit) of the property in Knonau. We structure these points so that the sales proceeds and the subsequent rental burden are in a reasonable relationship.
Owners of hotels and restaurants in Knonau who wish to sell their hospitality property or lease it want, will find FREITAG® to be a partner for the Horeca sector. We broker everything from traditional guesthouses and cafés to hotels and boarding houses to investors and successors who understand the industry.
Selling a hotel in Knonau without business interruption is a complex task: We assist with valuation, discreet exposé creation, and approaching suitable buyer groups — for ongoing operations as well as for properties with conversion potential.
Alternatively, we lease: solvent tenants with industry experience, checking of creditworthiness and concept, long-term predictable lease income. For every hospitality property in Knonau the right strategy.

Knonau is located in a border region — many of our clients compare locations across countries. These municipalities in neighbouring countries offer similar location qualities and are often the closest alternative:
Plot layout, building fabric, maintenance backlog, and neighbourhood determine the price. We objectively assess these points and align the marketing accordingly.
Whether rented or vacant: We assess which buyer group is realistic for your flat, and consistently align the exposé, price, and approach accordingly.
A plot of land sells based on what can be built on it. We determine the realistic building rights and approach property developers and private buyers in parallel.
Valuation based on the income approach (Ertragswert), review of rental agreements, and targeted approach to portfolio holders and family offices — without public advertising.
The right rental price determines whether a property stands vacant or has long-term tenants. We set it at a market-appropriate level and pre-filter interested parties, instead of holding mass viewings.
Detached houses, semi-detached houses, or terraced houses appeal to different target groups — we ensure the appropriate presentation and solvent tenants.
Right of residence (Wohnrecht), leaseback, life annuity (Leibrente), or usufruct (Nießbrauch) — we examine the most suitable option for you and advise on opportunities and framework conditions.
