Valuation and Advisory Services

Commercial valuation services

Real estate plays an increasingly important role in society, which makes an independent, objective and reliable appraisal of a property’s market value essential.

Cushman & Wakefield’s approach to valuations is therefore based on thorough research and an in-depth understanding of real estate. Supported by an exceptionally extensive transaction database, the Valuation & Advisory department stays on top of current trends at a national, regional and local level.

Valuations are always carried out in accordance with the following standards:

• Commercial Real Estate Regulations Dutch Register of Real Estate Valuers (NRVT)
• International Valuation Standards (IVS), published by the International Valuation Standards Council (IVSC)
• European Valuation Standards (EVS), published by The European Group of Valuers Associations (TeGoVa)
• RICS Valuation Standards (The Red Book)

Our work processes are also ISAE3402 Type II certified, making our procedures transparent and verifiable for our clients. This will enable you to make well-informed decisions and your reporting procedures will comply in all respects with current regulations.
Valuation reports are also assessed on a random basis for quality and completeness. An assessment is carried out by a valuer who has not been involved in the assignment concerned. Furthermore, the valuers declare that when performing a valuation, the fundamental principles of objectivity and independence have been upheld. The objectivity and independence of valuation consultants are safeguarded through compliance with our ethics codes.

Expert and specialist

We carry out valuations for a number of purposes, including:

• Financing of existing loans and new financings. (Cushman & Wakefield is accredited for almost all banks and financial institutions)
• Providing security for existing loans or new financings under the terms of the Capital Requirements Regulation (art. 208 par 3 CRR). 
• Financial reporting. 
• For benchmark purposes, a valuation is used to understand the performance of a property portfolio, both on a quarterly and annual basis. (IPD, monitoring performance)
• When buying or selling a property. 
• For tax purposes, an appraisal may be submitted to the Tax and Customs Administration to substantiate the fair market value of the property. 
• For Valuation of Immovable Property Act (Wet Waardering Onroerende Zaken) purposes, an appraisal is used to determine the amount of the value of real estate (WOZ value) to serve as an objection to the WOZ value determined by the municipality.

We invest continually in technology and innovation, as proved by our data analysis services, with which we enable our clients to optimize their decision-making in real time anywhere in the world. In addition, our specialists possess essential market knowledge that they also actively share for market advisory services. Each valuer has his or her property specialism and is fully familiar with the specific rules and conditions of the sector or the desired purpose of the valuation.
