What Is Independent Valuation Of Property Cost?

Estimation of the real estate market value is the most common type of valuation activity. Appraisers here determine the price of the object and legal rights to it, after which a transaction, such as purchase and sale or lease, is carried out in respect of the object.

In the modern real estate market there is a large number of individuals and legal entities who need to conduct an independent assessment. Evaluation procedures are carried out by qualified appraisers. The result of their work is a report on real estate valuation, which is used as one of the main arguments in making transactions. It shall be submitted in writing and contains:

• characteristics of the site being evaluated
• applicable methods of real estate valuation
• list of documents used
• various calculations and charts.

The report received on the basis of the results of the real estate assessment is officially considered by the state and municipal authorities as well. Such a responsible approach is very important when assessing the cost of commercial real estate and housing to eliminate the risks that could lead to excessive losses.
