Residential Property Valuations

It is advisable that the prospective buyer of a commercial property has a commercial valuation of the property, referred to as a ‘bricks and mortar’ valuation of a lease or freehold premises of the property they are considering purchasing.

Also, it is advisable to commission a commercial valuation of a property that has an existing tenant in place under a lease - a valuation of the ‘bricks and mortar’ as well as the value of the rent received by the tenant, which is termed as a valuation with a multiplier.

It is imperative that property owners undertake regular insurance valuations to ensure you are neither under-insured nor over-insured.

If you are under-insured, you run the risk of not being able to reinstate the building; or potentially be paying a higher insurance premium than necessary if you are over-insurView reported.

It is key to have insurance reinstatement valuations every 5 to 6 years to ensure the rebuild costs are up to date.
