Residential valuations are the most common, and are carried out to determine the value of standalone houses, townhouses, apartments, and other residential buildings.
Agricultural
Our agricultural property valuation services cover projects of any size within the agricultural sector from canelands, wine, fruit, poultry and other farms to ranches and reserves.

How We Can Add Value
We aim to alleviate the stress felt by our clients when requiring fixed property valuations. Our practice has extensive knowledge in the surveying of buildings both for the determination of market rental (in terms of SAPOA’s standard method of measurement), and for the determination of the replacement costs. We also provide surveying of buildings, surrounding works and land for the purpose of determining the Open Market Value, Depreciated Replacement Value as well as the Insurance Value. These skills have been tested in the market place on an ongoing basis by way of our motivated reports.
