Property Appraisal in Chania

How It Works

An appraisal is a systematic assessement - valuation of property, such as a plot, detached house or an apartment, by the official estimate of an authorized person, the appraiser.

ARENCOS appraisers hold a designation from a regulatory body to perform accurate and professional broker price opinions (BPOs) and comparative market analyses (CMAs). Appraisals are typically used for real estate transactions and taxation purposes or to determine a fair market value of the subject property. 

A correct assessment - valuation is based on the complete study of the subject property – location, condition, size, neighborhood, commerciality, the study of supply and demand of similar properties in the area of interest and the study of the special uses that would give extra value to the subject property itself.

Informed Decision-Making.

Whether you want to value your property or use it, the importance of valuation is crucial.Whether you seek to ascertain the worth of your property for financial planning or intend to leverage it for various purposes, the significance of valuation cannot be overstated.

Accurate valuation not only provides a clear understanding of your property's current market value but also serves as an indispensable tool for informed decision-making, enabling you to maximize its potential in diverse scenarios, from investment strategies to optimizing its use for personal or business objectives.

In essence, the meticulous process of valuation serves as a compass, guiding you through the intricate landscape of property management and utilization.

Property Appraisal & Valuations

Primary Approaches to Valuation

When determining the value of a property, various methodologies are employed, categorized into three distinct approaches known as the "three approaches to value." Each of these approaches operates independently, providing a comprehensive perspective on property valuation.

Sales Comparison Approach: This method involves a meticulous comparison of a property's characteristics with those of similar properties that have recently undergone comparable transactions.

Cost Approach: Emphasizing the principle that a buyer should not exceed the cost of constructing an equivalent property, this approach considers the expenses associated with building a similar structure.

Income Approach: Drawing parallels with financial valuation techniques, securities analysis, and bond pricing, the income approach calculates a property's implied value based on its anticipated cash flow or Net Operating Income (NOI) within the real estate context. These three approaches collectively contribute to a holistic understanding of a property's overall value.

In the valuation process, appraisers are afforded the flexibility to choose from three distinct approaches to determine the value of a property.

Typically, one or two of these approaches prove more relevant, while the others may offer limited utility. The appraiser’s decision hinges on factors such as the “scope of work,” the nature of the value sought, the specific property characteristics, and the availability of data pertinent to each approach.

Considerations like the property type and the quality and quantity of data play pivotal roles in guiding the appraiser’s choice. It is important to note that no sweeping assertion can be made declaring one approach superior to the others universally.

Instead, the appraiser must carefully assess the unique circumstances of each valuation, recognizing that the effectiveness of an approach is contingent on the specific context and intricacies of the property under evaluation.

Enhancing Appraisal Insights through Preceding Home Inspection

The incorporation of a home inspection prior to the appraisal process can significantly enhance the efficacy of the valuation.

When the appraiser is provided with a comprehensive inspection report, a more informed assessment becomes feasible. Since the appraiser lacks the specialized expertise of a home inspector, insights into substantial construction defects or significant repairs become crucial.

This information possesses the potential to influence the appraiser's judgment, often leading to a revised, possibly lower, opinion of the property's value.

The value of such insights becomes particularly pronounced in scenarios where either party involved in the appraisal may ultimately assume ownership of the property.

This circumstance is notably pertinent in instances such as divorce settlements or legal judgments. By integrating the findings of a pre-appraisal home inspection, the appraisal process becomes not only more nuanced but also better aligned with the actual condition and intricacies of the property, thereby contributing to a more accurate and insightful valuation.
