Valuation, Research & Advisory

About

An ever evolving economic environment demands regular overview of property values and market dynamics in order to secure property owners, lenders and investors with a clear understanding on their direct and indirect assets’ current and potential value. Good valuation practice, deep market knowledge and fast response to statutory and planning regulations are fundamental determinants to any solid and reliable real estate valuation report. At the same time, recent economic turmoil and past unprecedented conditions in the financial sector have imposed a new approach towards the valuation of the underlying or collateralised real estate assets for mortgage, project financing, corporate lending or NPL strategic purposes on behalf of investors, banks or auditing firms.
