Real Estate or Real Property Valuation

Real estate valuations and property appraisals are important and necessary; these asset classes can be complex and their values can fluctuate with market conditions.  Market Value appraisals are critical for real estate transactions, asset-based financing, for lease negotiations and litigation support.

Commercial and Industrial Property Valuations

Commercial property valuations are based on a combination of what a reasonable buyer would be willing to pay and the intrinsic value of the property in-terms of revenue potential, which views the value of property through an investor’s eyes.

Suncorp has extensive experience in valuing all types of commercial real estate for hotels, industrial buildings, municipal infrastructure, retail and commercial office buildings, condominiums, utilities and religious properties.

Suncorp has completed over 50,000 appraisals.

Get Started

“Suncorp assembled a highly qualified project team including Members of the Appraisal Institute (“MAI”), Accredited Appraiser Canadian Institute (“AACI”) and Accredited Senior Appraiser (“ASA”), American Society of Appraisers. All of the project team members had extensive experience with valuations for financial reporting and chemical processing facilities. This enabled a physical verification of the assets and a “Fair Value” determination with consideration to the three traditional approaches to value.”
