Why Have an Independent Property Valuation?
An independent property valuation provides an objective and professionally supported opinion of a property's market value at a specific date.
Whether you are buying, selling, transferring or managing a property, an independent valuation can provide a reliable basis for financial, legal, tax or private decision-making.
Our property valuations are personally carried out by a CMVM Registered Real Estate Appraiser with extensive experience in real estate, construction and property assessment. Each valuation considers the characteristics and condition of the property, its location, relevant market evidence and other factors that may influence its value.

Frequently Asked Questions About Property Valuations in Lisbon
What is an independent property valuation?
An independent property valuation is a professional assessment of a property's market value at a specific date, prepared without representing the interests of the buyer, seller, estate agent or other interested parties.
The valuation considers the property's characteristics, location, condition, available documentation and relevant market evidence to provide an objective and professionally supported opinion of market value.
​
​
Who carries out the property valuation?
The property valuation is personally carried out by a Real Estate Appraiser registered with the Portuguese Securities Market Commission (CMVM), who is also a Senior Civil Engineer with over 30 years of professional experience in construction, engineering and real estate.
This combination of valuation expertise and technical building knowledge provides a comprehensive and independent professional assessment of the property and the factors that may influence its market value.
​
Do you need to inspect the property?
In most cases, a physical inspection of the property is recommended as it allows us to assess its characteristics, condition, quality, layout and other factors that may influence market value.
In certain circumstances, such as retrospective or historical valuations where the property is no longer accessible, a valuation may be possible without an inspection, subject to the availability and quality of sufficient property documentation and reliable information.
Can you provide a retrospective or historical property valuation?
Yes. We can prepare retrospective or historical property valuations to provide an opinion of a property's market value at a specific date in the past.
These valuations may be required for inheritance, tax, legal, accounting or other private purposes. The assessment is based on the property information and documentation available, together with relevant historical market evidence relating to the required valuation date.
The feasibility of a retrospective valuation is assessed on a case-by-case basis, particularly where the property is no longer available for inspection.
​
What documents are required for a property valuation?
The documents required depend on the type of property and the purpose of the valuation. Typically, we request the Caderneta Predial Urbana, Land Registry Certificate (Certidão do Registo Predial) and, where available, approved architectural plans and other relevant property documentation.
For retrospective or historical valuations, additional documentation relating to the property and its condition at the relevant valuation date may be required.
We review the available information before the valuation and advise if any additional documentation is necessary.
