Whether you're an individual or a business, you need a realistic and accurate market valuation of your property from a registered professional
Legal Standing
Estate agents may provide a written opinion of a property's value, but only registered professional property valuers can provide market valuations which have legal standing in South African courts.
Tax Returns
Whether you're a large company or an individual investing in property, you need an accurate property valuation every year for tax purposes. Inflation and fluctuating economic conditions increase the importance of reliable valuations.
Marriage and Estates
Historic valuations after many years of marriage tend to be less accurate and can have a huge impact on your final estate value, making it crucial to incorporate accurate values into an antenuptial agreement.
Prepare for the Future
Plan now with the right information and avoid the future disappointment of selling a property below market value—or missing a potential sale—because of an unrealistic selling price.
Realise Potential Value
When you buy a new property the seller often fixes the price by consulting an estate agent. The best (and easiest) way to convince the seller of a potentially lower price is to provide a sworn report by a professional valuer.
Insurance Policies
An unexpected loss can have a huge impact on your life, especially if replacements costs turn out to be higher than the specified values in your policy. Ensure you are adequately covered using suitable replacement values.
Development Projects
Property developers need reliable valuations to forecast the potential profit or loss of a project so they can determine if the project is viable from the outset.
Financial Statements
Management at organisations requires valuations for financial statements, acquisitions and mergers. There is an increasing need for companies to correctly reflect the value of their assets on their balance sheet.
