The work
What the work involves
- 01Establishing the purpose
Sale? Inheritance? Court? Bank? The purpose determines the report's scope and form, and is agreed before work starts.
- 02Reviewing documents
Confirming the property's identity, ownership, area and registered charges, and identifying what is missing.
- 03Inspection
Visiting the property and recording what no document shows: actual condition, surroundings, access, current use.
- 04Analysis
Testing the evidence against the market and comparable properties, choosing the approach that fits the property type and the quality of the data.
- 05Reporting
A full record of the property, purpose, sources, methodology, assumptions, and the conclusion with its date.
Documents

Proof of ownership
Whatever establishes the owner's standing in the property, an older document included.

The outcome
What you receive

Value is tied to its valuation date and stated purpose, and acceptance of the report by any institution rests with that institution.
Tell me the property, the region and why the value is needed.
