Property Valuation is taking account of the financial value of a building, land, or a facility. The Valuation report is being generated through a thorough inspection of the interiors and exteriors of the property by a chartered surveyor or an estate valuer.
Below are six(6) things to take into consideration when valuing a property.

  1. Location.

One of the significant factors determining the cost of a property is the location of the house. Aspects such as how close the apartment is to schools, shopping malls, banks, restaurants, and parks, also if the property is situated in a flood and theft-prone location, these will affect the property’s cost. A property with excellent transport links will get a much better price than the house in a remote area.

  1. Size

When it comes to getting a property valued, the size of the house is another significant aspect to keep in mind. The number of rooms in the property plays a vital role in the entire cost of the property. Even the size of every individual room largely determines buyer demographics.
