Real estate valuation.

Apartments, offices, retail, industrial or land, in any country: the engine works from recorded transactions where they are public, and from market benchmarks everywhere else, then returns a value range with the reasoning behind it.

How the calculation works

The recognised approaches for this asset class, applied to your figures.

Comparable sales

Actual prices paid for similar properties in the same area. Where transaction registries are public — France, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, the United States, Australia and others — the engine reads them directly. Elsewhere it uses brokered transaction evidence and market indices for the same submarket.

Capitalisation of income

For rented assets, net operating income is capitalised at the yield observed on comparable investments in that city and asset class, adjusted for lease length, indexation, tenant quality and vacancy risk. This is the dominant approach for commercial property worldwide.

Price per square metre or square foot

A cross-check against the local unit price for the property category, in the local measurement convention and currency, adjusted for floor, condition, outdoor space, parking and micro-location.

Discounted cash flow

For multi-tenant or repositioning assets, rental cash flows and an exit value are projected over the holding period and discounted at a country-specific rate that reflects local interest rates, inflation and country risk.

Replacement cost and land value

Land value plus the cost of rebuilding, less depreciation. Used as a floor value and as the main approach for specialised buildings or markets where comparable evidence is thin.

Common questions

Straight answers before you start.

How accurate is an online property estimate?

It depends on data density. In markets with open transaction registries and high turnover, the indicative range is usually tight because it is computed from real recorded sales. In markets where prices are not published, the range is wider and built from asking prices, indices and expert benchmarks — an expert review is then recommended.

Which countries are covered?

Any country. The engine reads official transaction records where they exist, and applies yield, price and index benchmarks everywhere else. Local specialists in our network cover the markets where public data is limited.

In which currency is the value returned?

In the local currency of the asset, with the option to read the range in EUR or USD. Cross-border comparisons are converted at the current rate, and country risk is reflected in the discount rate rather than in the exchange rate.

What information should I prepare?

Location, surface area, property type, year of construction, condition, and — for investment assets — the rent roll, lease terms and operating costs. The more precise the location, the tighter the range.

Can this value be used for a bank, a tax authority or a court?

An online estimate is indicative. For financing, litigation, inheritance or tax purposes you need a formal report signed by a valuer qualified in that jurisdiction — RICS, TEGoVA, USPAP or the local equivalent. Our expert network provides it.

How long does a formal valuation take?

Typically a few days for a standard residential asset and one to three weeks for a large commercial or portfolio mandate, depending on site visits and document availability.
