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
