Determining the value of a commercial property is extremely important for several reasons. If you are involved in the commercial property market, a valuation is a crucial factor when determining the risk level of investing in a property either for commercial use or for investment.
A valuation will forecast what price the property will sell for within the market, helping to ascertain if it is being sold at a fair price and inform any price negotiations. In addition, a valuation will help determine how the property will perform as part of a property portfolio.
The value of a commercial property is also extremely important when determining underwriting. Most lenders want to see the value of your property, this is so they can work out the loan-to-value ratio before they commit to a mortgage. The value appraisal will provide a baseline that the lender can use to determine the loan they are willing to provide.
For existing commercial property owners, a property valuation for both current and potential value, can help inform strategic decisions about developing the property further and potentially increasing its value.
Valuations are the foundations to many financial decisions that are essential in purchasing and investing in the commercial property market.

Calculating the value of a commercial property can be complex and is best left to an expert to manage.
