Commercial valuation FAQs

Commercial valuations are quoted per instruction, based on asset type, size, number of properties and purpose. We confirm the fee in writing before inspection.

Timelines depend on the asset, the purpose and the number of properties, and are agreed at instruction.

The purpose and basis of value, the inspection findings, the method and the evidence used, the assumptions, the market value at the valuation date, and the valuer’s name and signature.
