What information and documents are needed for a property valuation?
Short answer: To get started, the property type, cadastral code, area, purpose of the valuation and any photos you have are enough. We agree any further documents in advance, depending on the property and the assignment.
What we need for any property
- The purpose of the valuation — for example a mortgage, a sale or purchase, court proceedings, a residence permit or financial reporting. The purpose determines the form and content of the report.
- Who will receive the report, if anyone — for example a specific bank or public agency. Some recipients have their own requirements.
- The cadastral code.
- A Public Registry extract, if you have one to hand; if needed, we can also obtain it ourselves from the cadastral code.
- Photos of the outside and inside of the property.
- Your preferred timing.

Apartment
- area, floor and number of rooms;
- type of building (new build or older building) and level of finish (e.g. white or green frame, newly renovated);
- a measured floor plan, if you have one.
House and land
- the area of the house and the area of the land plot, separately;
- outbuildings (garage, storage and so on);
- land category (agricultural or non-agricultural);
- utilities — water, gas, electricity and road access.
Commercial property
- type of premises (office, retail, warehouse) and current use;
- whether it is leased — and if so, the lease terms;
- area, floor, entrance and location.
When a site visit is needed
Depending on the purpose of the valuation and the property, an on-site visit may be needed. We agree this before work starts.
How the fee and timing are agreed
Once we have the information, we agree the scope of work, the final fee and the specific timing in advance. Standard timing is 1–3 days. The result is a signed valuation report — as a PDF, or printed if needed.
