Property Valuation

Property valuation determines the fair market value of residential, commercial, and undeveloped properties. This assessment is essential for making informed decisions about property transactions and financial planning.
We prepare valuation reports for multiple purposes. A valuation establishes a reasonable asking price or offer when selling or purchasing a property. For inheritance matters, valuations help distribute assets fairly among beneficiaries. Banks and lenders require property valuations before approving mortgages to verify the property's worth against the loan amount. Tax authorities use valuations to calculate stamp duty, capital gains, and inheritance tax. For development projects, valuations assess investment potential and expected returns.
Our valuation process includes thoroughly inspecting and surveying the property, assessing structural conditions, and identifying defects or special features. We consider location factors such as accessibility, nearby amenities, and neighbourhood characteristics. Our analysis accounts for current market trends, comparable properties, and recent sales prices. We also evaluate legal aspects, including ownership rights, planning permissions, and potential restrictions.
All valuations comply with the Kamra tal-Periti Valuation Standards for Accredited Valuers 2012, ensuring they meet the requirements of banks, notaries, and government institutions. Property valuation services include:
  • Market value assessment
  • Bank valuation forms
  • Development appraisals

You might need a property valuation when buying or selling property, applying for a mortgage, for taxation purposes (stamp duty, inheritance tax, capital gains), during divorce proceedings, for insurance purposes, or when planning development projects.

Providing property documentation such as floor plans, previous valuation reports, planning permissions, and information about recent improvements or renovations is helpful. However, we can proceed with minimal details if necessary.

A property valuation conducted by a warranted Perit is a formal, comprehensive assessment backed by professional qualifications and adhering to industry standards. An estate agent appraisal is often a more informal estimate primarily used for marketing purposes.
