Valuations

Commercial real estate valuations are usually required for decision-making regarding loans, tax (e.g. capital gains or losses), acquisitions, disposals and insurance reinstatement costs. . A valuation might be done a one-off basis or a regulated entity may need quarterly valuations to track market value and compute Net Asset Value. A landlord could request a desktop valuation, often for property funds. Valuations should preferably be done by a qualified valuer such as a Member of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (MRICS). Some of RealCorp’s staff have earned this designation. This collection of articles gathers info on commercial property valuation standards, processes and uses.
