A valuation is a process of determining the historical, current, or projected worth of an Asset. An asset could be a company (either a trust, business, or sole trader), a property (either commercial or residential property), or a tangible asset that includes motor vehicles, marine vessels, yellow goods, goods & chattels And Stocks And Mutual Funds.

A Valuation Report is a legal document containing values and calculations of the value of an asset, as listed in “What is a Valuation”. This is carried out by a Professional Registered Valuer.

Physical Valuation is a process in which Registered Valuer visits the site to do the valuation process and do inspection of the site.

A Desktop Valuation is a report where the client sends through photographs and the necessary information pertaining to the Asset(s), via email. This is also known as either a “sight unseen valuation” or an “E-Valuation”. The Valuer does not complete a site inspection of the assets and relies upon the client to provide this information. During the current environment of COVID-19, Desktop Valuations are becoming popular as the pandemic has leaned towards “Zoom” as the new way of meeting. A Desktop Valuation can also be performed via “Zoom” or a similar platform but does not eliminate the fact that clients can send through the necessary documentation.
