Property valuation

A valuation is only useful if the party relying on it — a bank, an underwriter, a court, a visa officer — accepts it without argument. BCBD’s valuations are built for that scrutiny: independent, methodical, and reported to IVS, RICS (UK) and Appraisal Institute (USA) practice.

It would be difficult to name an industry we have not served, an asset category we have not appraised, or a valuation purpose we have not reported on. Major banks and financial institutions, multinational companies and accountancy firms rely on our work when they value land, buildings, machinery & equipment, vehicles and vessels for purposes including:

Lease and mortgage of property
Insurance underwriting
Tax, financial reporting, accounting and compliance requirements
Merger and acquisition
Disposal or refinancing
Arbitration / dispute litigation
Immigration / tourist / student visa purposes
Family Court Financial Settlement in UK, USA, Canada, Australia and other countries
Sale & lease back
Rental / lease assessments and determinations
Fairness opinion on an existing valuation
