Why a valuation report when there's an inheritance?
Every heir has their own idea of the value. An independent report prevents arguments and makes agreement easier – whether a community of heirs sells the property, one heir takes it over and pays out the others, or the property is let.
Which type of report is right?
If all heirs agree, a short appraisal report is often enough. If there's disagreement, or a court or the tax office is involved, a full market value appraisal is the right choice.
An inheritance is rarely just a matter of numbers
Behind a community of heirs there are families, memories and often differing interests. An impartial value takes the emotion out of the discussion about figures. I work objectively, sensitively and without taking sides – so that in the end everyone can live with the result.
Possible paths after the report
With a robust value, you can decide whether the property should be sold, taken over by one heir or held jointly. If it's sold, I support you as your estate agent with marketing and the notary appointment – all from a single source if you wish.
Frequently asked questions
Who commissions the report when there are several heirs?
Ideally the heirs commission it jointly, so that everyone accepts the result as impartial. I'm happy to advise you on how to proceed.
What if documents are missing?
That's common with inheritances. I'll obtain missing documents from authorities and archives for you.
