Hello,
I hope this is the right forum for my question.
I have a question about accessory apartments: Is a converted attic with various rooms and a bathroom but no kitchen automatically considered an accessory apartment? In theory, the entire area could be locked and is accessible via the main entrance, hallway, and stairs. However, from the hallway on the ground floor, you can access all rooms on the ground floor, meaning the upper area could be locked, but the ground floor area would be accessible to everyone, including potential tenants of the upper rooms. This may not be ideal from the landlord’s perspective. Additionally, separate billing for electricity and water would not be possible.
Another question: in the basement, there are various rooms, including a kitchen, a bedroom, and a bathroom, but these are not connected as a standalone unit and cannot be locked off. Can this be classified as an accessory apartment?
I am less concerned with the potential rental of these spaces and more interested in whether they would be considered accessory apartments.

As mentioned before, market analyses have shown an average difference of about -10% when comparing single-family homes with and without a separate apartment. HOWEVER, as ypg points out, other factors are probably more important, and this 10% difference in the analysis could ultimately be caused by confounding variables, since the houses were not entirely identical after all.
If the house is truly comparable in all the mentioned aspects, I would expect the value to be nearly the same. However, there is also a very individual factor when it comes to selling such a house. If you find the buyer who likes your house exactly as it is, you will likely get a higher price than if most potential buyers want more or less significant changes.

Seriously a loss? As I said, the neighboring house does not have an accessory apartment but a completely separate flat with its own entrance. The apartment is quite large at 90m² (970 sq ft) and generates around €600 in rent. Both houses are overall very large.
