Property Valuation is generally concerned with ascertaining the current value of any piece of landed property or assets (both movable and unmovable) on a given date and for a specified purpose or group of purposes. These purposes cover a wide spectrum, some of which include:
The purpose or group of purposes for which a valuation report is undertaken usually depends on the peculiar need and instruction of the client. However, based on our experience and expertise in valuation matters, it is our submission that our services as estate surveyors and valuers will be required for all or any of the above purposes.
To our understanding, the lease or sale/purchase of a property is not reduced to a mere transaction; we pride ourselves on getting to know our clients, their hopes and expectations, in order to guide them through each step of the process to ensure their ultimate satisfaction and peace of mind.
As a real estate firm and consultancy, we regularly come across potential clients, weigh up their requirements and the real amount of rent or sale price they will be prepared to pay.
We know the type of property available to match demand, what is in short supply or what should be avoided for investment purposes. Knowing the types of purchasers/tenants searching, we know the estate strategies to adopt to satisfy landlords (ladies), prospective property purchasers and tenants.
The mortgage sector is in its early stage of growth in the country. However, we are positioned not only as an estate firm/consultancy who frequently come across potential customers and property purchasers; but as a firm with qualified mortgage advisers and brokers who can link these customers to available mortgage products and lenders.
The mortgage market is often baffling for the average potential purchaser. Few people understand the complexities of the house buying process, the mortgages products available and the importance of choosing an appropriate mortgage deal/package from a mortgage lender. This is where we play a pivotal part as a mortgage intermediary between the ultimate lender and the customer.
We inform and guide the customer towards the most suitable mortgage for his needs by providing ethical advice.
It is as a result of our strong belief in the special role that finance plays in the property development process and real estate ownership that we have property professionals in our team who are qualified and well versed in mortgage matters.
Project Management is defined as the overall planning, co-ordination and control of a development from inception to completion and disposal, aimed at meeting a client’s requirement to produce a functionally and financially viable development that will be completed on time, within authorized budget, and to required standards (quality).
Project management separates the management functions of a development from its design and construction functions. The ability to lead and motivate participants in a project is a key skill required by the project manager. Management duty/function is one of the traits the estate surveyor must and does have; an example being our property management duty where we manage and maintain not just the building fabric but also the occupants/end-users. People management is a skill and art that needs to be revered.
Also, the estate surveyor is able to perform this role because of our detailed knowledge of the property market and give expert advice on the dynamic economics involved in all aspects of the development process.
As facilities managers, the estate surveyor is involved at all stages of the property life cycle through their unique knowledge of property and how it interfaces with business in both the public and private sectors. We operate at all levels from consultancy through management to operations.
Property management requires speacialised expertise. A relationship of trust is essential; the property owner places the future of his/her property in the care of an estate surveyor. By empowering us to carry out all related management tasks, landlords/ladies are relieving themselves from the constraints and burden of dealing with fiscal, administrative, legal, social and technical matters that can become very complicated.
The kind of person you have leasing your property is vital to the success of your real estate investment and we are aware of our responsibilities to our clients here. We fully carry out reference checks on potential tenants to make sure there is nothing adverse about them.
We are therefore at your disposal to discuss your specific needs and put together a personalized property management plan.
Property is intended to serve life, and no matter how much we surround it with rights and respect, it has no personal being. It is part of the earth man walks on. It is not man. – Martin Luther King Jnr.
