One of the most common reasons for valuations reports is securing a mortgage. You will need a valuation report from an approved valuer/appraiser in order to take out a mortgage against a property. When valuing a property, one has to consider the following:

• Location
• Comparable sales within the area
• Condition of the property
• Fixtures and features
• Market Conditions
• Zoning/Planning Restrictions

We strive to provide accurate and professional reports in a timely manner.

A divorce appraisal would be required to be relied upon by lawyers and also in court.

Such valuations/appraisals are purpose-specific and require a specific approach that differs from our standard property valuations as they include:

• An accurate assessment of the property's current market value
• In depth information on the property condition and features, including the land, building exterior and interior, and any improvements made Detailed risk analysis, including environmental factors, property and market risks
• A breakdown of sales evidence, including recent comparable sales in the local area, and information on how the current market condition impacts value
• A rationale of how the value has been reached, including considerations factored in and various external impacts
• The valuer's credentials and experience which qualify them to undertake this valuation
