Introduction

Experts in this field are valuation specialists who have focused their studies on the monetary worth of real property, land, and buildings. Valuation is the process of estimating the worth of an item using professional knowledge, expertise and judgement. In this case, it relates to making estimations on the value of residential, commercial, and institutional buildings, as well as blocks of lands and all ‘real properties’ which refers to “the land, everything that is permanently attached to the land, and all of the rights of ownership, including the right to possess, sell, lease, and enjoy the land”.

Valuation of real property is generally performed for the purposes of insurance, sales or trade, taxation, or curiosity. It allows for a proper understanding of the owner’s wealth and estate value, and informs proper taxation amounts. Knowing the value of their items and assets also benefits the owner in that they can then adequately protect and maintain their investments, so that their value is preserved. Valuation of real property is often performed upon the dissolution of a marriage or other partnership, especially business enterprises. Value is a somewhat nebulous thing, but can be determined by examining the condition, historical importance, age, degree of wear, and functionality of a property or the view, aspect, or location of a piece of land.

Experts in this area come from many professional backgrounds. Many will have worked in fields specific to property, such as real estate or architecture. Some will be trained valuation experts, or perhaps have worked in valuation for an insurance company. They may also be historians focused on the historical and cultural significance of particular properties. The specific specialisation and background needed in your real property valuation expert will be determined by the matter which requires examination.
