Why use a property valuer for residential property?

Selling a property requires an accurate estimate to determine its market value. A valuer uses proven methods to analyse the characteristics of the property, the state of the market and recent comparable sales. This makes it possible to set a realistic price that will attract buyers while protecting your interests: a fair price, a faster sale, and protection against downward negotiation.

When buying, it is crucial to know the true value of the property. A professional valuation ensures that you do not overpay, helps you negotiate on an informed basis and provides a solid foundation for obtaining suitable financing.

In the context of an estate, a property valuation is often needed to divide assets fairly between the heirs. A valuer provides an impartial and accurate estimate, making it easier to settle the estate: fair division, fewer disputes between heirs, legal compliance.

Separation often involves dividing assets, including the family home. An accurate valuation establishes the current value of the property and facilitates a fair division between the parties, while reducing tension and supporting the proceedings.

To refinance a mortgage, banks require a valuation to determine the current value of the property. This ensures that the loan is based on a real and recent estimate, and helps secure favourable terms.
