PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT
Our office offers Property Valuation Report services in collaboration with certified property appraisers, for individuals or legal entities planning real estate transactions. The valuation report may be used for sales, financing, loan restructurings, legal procedures, investment decisions, etc., and often serves as a complementary or integral part of Title Due Diligence and the corresponding Title Due Diligence Report.
Key Elements of the Property Valuation Report:
One of the primary components of the report is the calculation of the property’s market value — that is, the price to be paid or asked for the property or its annual rental value, under specific market conditions and in accordance with applicable legislation. The content of the Property Valuation Report can be a valuable tool for:
- Sellers, to set an appropriate sale price;
- Tenants, to determine a fair rental amount;
- Borrowers, to estimate the insurable value or loan-to-value ratio;
- Owners, to calculate compensation due to damage or loss from external factors (e.g., force majeure, expropriations).
It is a crucial document that can greatly assist in the following processes:
- Property Sales: Ensures the sale or purchase price reflects the actual market value.
- Financing / Loan Restructuring: Required by banks prior to loan approval.
- Legal Proceedings: Used in cases such as divorces, inheritance disputes, or expropriations.
- Investments: Helps in making informed real estate investment decisions.
