The reason why property valuation in Kenya is required is that the value of property varies with the purpose. The value of a property for auction may be different with value for a bank loan and vice versa.
All property valuations we do are in conformity with the various legislative requirements such as the Appraisal and Valuation Manuals published by the Institution of Surveyors of Kenya (ISK), Valuation and Estate Management Chapter and the International Valuation Standards (IVS), as well as the VALUERS ACT, CAP 532.
Obtaining the services of a professional property valuer in Kenya is important because a property valuer is graced with a unique understanding of the property market. They are able to forecast what is likely to happen in the property market in the future and how that is likely to affect the prices of properties. Valuers use historical data of the market and the changing trends to forecast the future of the property market.
