A reliable valuation considers recent comparable transactions, location, size, condition, occupancy, market demand and purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Owners can begin with an online estimate or compare similar advertised properties, but these methods do not necessarily provide an official valuation. Formal procedures may require a professional report, a bank-appointed assessment or a property valuation certificate from the Dubai Land Department. Understanding these differences helps owners select the right method, avoid unrealistic pricing and prepare the documents required for official applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\"

Valuation in Dubai<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 id=\"h-what-is-property-valuation-in-dubai\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_Property_Valuation_in_Dubai\"><\/span>What Is Property Valuation in Dubai?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Property valuation is the process of estimating how much a property is worth at a specific date. The result may be used as informal pricing guidance or documented in a professional or official report, depending on the method and purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A valuation is not a guarantee that a property will sell for the estimated amount. The final transaction price depends on buyer demand, negotiations, financing, property condition and market conditions at the time of sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-market-value-vs-asking-price-vs-selling-price\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Market_Value_vs_Asking_Price_vs_Selling_Price\"><\/span>Market Value vs Asking Price vs Selling Price<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Market value, asking price and selling price are related, but they do not mean the same thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Term<\/td><td>Meaning<\/td><td>Who determines it?<\/td><td>Is it guaranteed?<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Market value<\/td><td>An evidence-based estimate of a property\u2019s value on a specified date<\/td><td>A valuer, approved valuation provider or valuation model<\/td><td>No<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Asking price<\/td><td>The amount requested in a property advertisement<\/td><td>The owner or advertiser, often with market guidance<\/td><td>No<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Selling price<\/td><td>The amount accepted by the buyer and seller<\/td><td>The parties to the transaction<\/td><td>Confirmed only after an agreement and completion<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Rental value<\/td><td>The estimated rent a property could reasonably achieve<\/td><td>A valuer, property professional or market model<\/td><td>No<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An asking price may be higher or lower than market value.

Pricing too high may discourage suitable buyers, while pricing too low can reduce the potential return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Owners should compare properties with similar characteristics rather than relying on a broad community average. A two-bedroom apartment on a high floor with an open view, for example, may not be directly comparable to a larger ground-floor unit in an older building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/shozon.com\"><strong><u><strong>Shozon<\/strong><\/u><\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;can help owners review advertised properties and present their own property through an online listing. However, advertised prices should be treated as market signals rather than proof of completed transaction values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-before-buying-or-investing\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Before_Buying_or_Investing\"><\/span>Before Buying or Investing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A buyer can use a valuation to assess whether an asking price is reasonably supported by current evidence. This is particularly important when:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The property has been heavily upgraded.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The seller claims a premium for a view or location.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Few comparable units are available.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The property is occupied by a tenant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The buyer plans to finance the purchase.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Expected rental income is an important part of the decision.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A valuation should be considered alongside ownership documents, service charges, tenancy terms, maintenance condition and the buyer\u2019s financing costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-for-a-mortgage-or-refinancing\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"For_a_Mortgage_or_Refinancing\"><\/span>For a Mortgage or Refinancing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Banks commonly assess the property offered as security for a mortgage. A bank may appoint its own approved valuer and may not accept a report arranged independently by the owner or buyer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bank\u2019s valuation can also differ from the agreed purchase price. If the bank values the property below that price, the buyer may need to contribute more funds, renegotiate the deal or reconsider the purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-for-a-golden-visa-application\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"For_a_Golden_Visa_Application\"><\/span>For a Golden Visa Application<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Golden Visa applicants must provide the property and ownership evidence accepted by the responsible authority. Current DLD requirements refer to the property\u2019s purchase value, title deed and additional bank documentation for mortgaged properties, while requirements may vary according to the applicant\u2019s circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An online estimate or agent appraisal should not be assumed to replace the official evidence required by the relevant authority. Applicants should check the current requirements for a <a href=\"https:\/\/dubailand.gov.ae\/en\/eservices\/request-for-golden-visa-investor\/\"><strong><u><strong>Golden Visa application for property investors<\/strong><\/u><\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;before paying for a valuation or submitting supporting documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-for-gifting-inheritance-or-legal-procedures\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"For_Gifting_Inheritance_or_Legal_Procedures\"><\/span>For Gifting, Inheritance or Legal Procedures<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An official or professionally prepared valuation may be required for property gifting, inheritance distribution, legal disputes or other formal transactions. The acceptable type of report depends on the procedure and the authority handling it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Legal and administrative requirements can change, so the applicant should confirm whether a DLD property valuation, a court-appointed report or another type of professional assessment is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-for-accounting-audit-and-portfolio-reporting\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"For_Accounting_Audit_and_Portfolio_Reporting\"><\/span>For Accounting, Audit and Portfolio Reporting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Businesses and investors may need a property valuation report in Dubai for financial reporting, investment analysis, financing or portfolio reviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Commercial buildings, hotels, labour accommodation, development land and portfolios usually require more detailed information than a standard apartment valuation. Income, operating costs, occupancy, leases and development potential may all affect the assessment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-how-to-value-property-in-dubai\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Value_Property_in_Dubai\"><\/span>How to Value Property in Dubai<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most reliable approach combines relevant transaction evidence with a detailed review of the property. Location and floor area are important, but they cannot explain every difference in value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-review-recent-comparable-transactions\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Review_Recent_Comparable_Transactions\"><\/span>Review Recent Comparable Transactions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Comparable transactions are recent sales involving properties similar to the one being valued. <a href=\"https:\/\/dubailand.gov.ae\/en\/open-data\/real-estate-data\/\"><strong><u><strong>Dubai real estate transaction data<\/strong><\/u><\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;can provide useful evidence when reviewing completed sales, transaction values, locations and property types. Relevant comparisons may share the same:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Building or development.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Community and sub-community.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Property category.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Approximate floor area.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bedroom count and layout.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Condition and age.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>View and floor level.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Occupancy status.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The more closely a comparable property matches the subject property, the more useful it is. A sale completed years ago or in a different type of development may require significant adjustment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-calculate-the-price-per-square-foot\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Calculate_the_Price_per_Square_Foot\"><\/span>Calculate the Price per Square Foot<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Price per square foot is a common starting point for residential property comparisons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Suppose comparable transactions suggest approximately AED 1,500 per square foot for similar units and the property measures 1,000 square feet. A basic calculation would indicate AED 1,500,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This figure should not automatically be treated as the final market value. The calculation may need adjustments for parking spaces, view, floor, renovation, layout, tenancy status and building condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-consider-the-income-approach\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Consider_the_Income_Approach\"><\/span>Consider the Income Approach<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The income approach is relevant when a property is acquired for its rental income. It considers factors such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Current or expected annual rent.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vacancy risk.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Operating and maintenance expenses.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Service charges.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lease terms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Required investor return.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Market capitalisation rates.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A high advertised rent does not necessarily produce a high property value if the operating costs are substantial or the rent is not sustainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-consider-the-cost-approach\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Consider_the_Cost_Approach\"><\/span>Consider the Cost Approach<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cost approach examines the value of the land and the cost of constructing or replacing the building, after considering depreciation and condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It may be relevant to specialised properties, buildings with limited comparable transactions or certain land-and-building valuations. It is generally not the only method considered when reliable market evidence is available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-apply-property-specific-adjustments\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Apply_Property-Specific_Adjustments\"><\/span>Apply Property-Specific Adjustments<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After selecting suitable evidence, a valuer may adjust the estimate for differences between the subject property and comparable properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The typical process involves:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Confirming the property\u2019s registered information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Selecting recent and relevant comparisons.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Calculating appropriate price benchmarks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reviewing rental or income evidence where relevant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adjusting for physical and legal differences.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Considering current market conditions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reaching a value conclusion for the specified date.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-factors-that-affect-property-valuation-results-in-dubai\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Factors_That_Affect_Property_Valuation_Results_in_Dubai\"><\/span>Factors That Affect Property Valuation Results in Dubai<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Property values in Dubai can vary within the same community and even within the same building.

Relevant considerations include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Distance from employment districts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Access to major roads.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Proximity to metro stations or public transport.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nearby schools, healthcare and retail services.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Beach, park or waterfront access.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Community maturity and available infrastructure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Current or planned construction nearby.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A well-known community does not make every property within it equally valuable. Noise, traffic, accessibility and the exact position of the building can create significant differences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-building-quality-and-management\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Building_Quality_and_Management\"><\/span>Building Quality and Management<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Buyers may pay more for a well-maintained building with reliable facilities and efficient management. Factors can include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Building age and condition.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lift and common-area maintenance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Security and access systems.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Parking availability.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pool, gym and shared amenities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maintenance history.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Service-charge level.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quality of property management.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">High service charges can reduce the appeal of a property to investors, particularly when the amenities do not justify the ongoing cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-property-type-size-and-layout\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Property_Type_Size_and_Layout\"><\/span>Property Type, Size and Layout<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apartments, villas, townhouses, penthouses, land and commercial properties attract different buyers and require different valuation methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Usable space also matters. Two apartments with the same registered area can have different values if one provides a practical layout and the other has narrow rooms, long corridors or unusable areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-floor-level-view-and-orientation\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Floor_Level_View_and_Orientation\"><\/span>Floor Level, View and Orientation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A high floor, open view or desirable orientation can support a price premium, but its effect depends on buyer demand and the specific development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Views may include the sea, skyline, golf course, park, pool or internal community. The valuer may also consider whether the view could be affected by future construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-condition-and-upgrades\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Condition_and_Upgrades\"><\/span>Condition and Upgrades<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Good maintenance can protect a property\u2019s value, while visible defects may reduce buyer confidence. Renovations can add value when they improve functionality and are completed to an appropriate standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, renovation cost and added market value are not always equal. Highly personalised designs may appeal to a limited group of buyers, and unauthorised alterations can create concerns during a transaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-tenancy-and-occupancy\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tenancy_and_Occupancy\"><\/span>Tenancy and Occupancy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A vacant property may appeal to an end user who wants immediate possession. A tenanted property may appeal to an investor seeking immediate rental income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The effect depends on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Current rent.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lease expiry date.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tenant payment history.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Notice status.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Applicable tenancy rules.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whether the rent is above or below current market levels.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The buyer\u2019s intended use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A buyer should review the tenancy contract and related records rather than assuming that an occupied property is automatically more or less valuable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-supply-demand-and-valuation-date\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Supply_Demand_and_Valuation_Date\"><\/span>Supply, Demand and Valuation Date<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A property valuation reflects conditions at a particular date. New project handovers, financing conditions, investor sentiment and changes in available stock can influence prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this reason, an older valuation may no longer represent the current market. Formal procedures may also impose their own rules concerning the acceptable date or validity of a valuation certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-service-charges-and-ownership-costs\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Service_Charges_and_Ownership_Costs\"><\/span>Service Charges and Ownership Costs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Investors consider the return remaining after service charges, maintenance and other ownership expenses.

These listings provide useful market context but should not be treated as confirmed rental transaction data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, annual rent of AED 100,000 on a property priced at AED 2,000,000 produces a gross yield of 5%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gross yield does not account for service charges, maintenance, vacancy, management costs or financing.

For formal or high-value decisions, consider a professional assessment or an official DLD certificate.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1789496633675\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I Value My Dubai Property Online?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes. Online tools offer a quick estimate based on property details and market data, but they may overlook condition, views, upgrades or tenancy arrangements. Their results are generally indicative rather than official.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1789496638087\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How Much Does Property Valuation Cost in Dubai?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">DLD base charges currently range from AED 2,000 to AED 15,000, based on the service information reviewed in 2026, with possible additional government, trustee, VAT or private-service fees.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1789496650796\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What Is a Property Valuation Certificate in Dubai?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It is an electronic document showing the property value assessed through the Dubai Land Department\u2019s official service. It may be required for specific government, ownership or legal procedures.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1789496658360\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How Long Does a DLD Property Valuation Take?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">DLD processing may be instant for residential units and attached villas, while other property categories can take up to seven working days. Missing documents or additional checks may extend the timeframe.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1789496663267\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Is an Online Estimate Accepted for a Golden Visa?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Usually not. An online estimate should not be treated as official evidence of property value. Confirm the required ownership and property-value documents with the responsible authority before applying.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1789496672314\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Does Renovation Increase a Property\u2019s Value?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Renovations may support a higher value when they improve condition, functionality and market appeal. The result depends on workmanship, approvals and buyer demand, and may not equal the amount spent.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1789496681168\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can a Valuation Be Higher Than the Original Purchase Price?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes. Market appreciation, improvements or stronger local demand may raise the current valuation above the purchase price. Falling demand, deterioration or an initially inflated purchase price can produce the opposite result.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1789496693075\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Is Property Valuation the Same as an Inspection?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">No. A valuation estimates the property\u2019s market value, whereas an inspection or snagging assessment identifies physical defects and workmanship issues. An inspection can support the valuation, but it serves a different purpose.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1789496700879\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How Long Is a DLD Property Valuation Certificate Valid?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">A <strong>DLD property valuation certificate<\/strong> is generally valid for <strong>six months<\/strong> from the valuation date. After this period, the Dubai Land Department\u2019s verification service identifies the certificate as no longer valid. If the valuation is required for a specific transaction or government procedure, confirm whether the receiving authority applies any additional validity requirements.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Property valuation services in Dubai help owners, buyers and investors estimate a property\u2019s market value before selling, buying, refinancing or completing an official procedure.
