What can you get done by an appraiser?

 
An appraiser can perform a number of different services for housing cooperatives and condominiums, adapted to their specific needs and wishes. For example, they can provide an accurate assessment of the property’s value, identify maintenance needs, document damage or defects, or carry out thorough inspections. 

Here are some of the most common services: 

Valuation 

A valuation is a thorough assessment of a property’s market value. This type of appraisal can be useful in several contexts, for example when selling, refinancing or for various insurance purposes. The appraiser conducts a detailed review of the property, taking into account factors such as location, standard, age, size and market conditions to arrive at an accurate valuation. A valuation gives the housing cooperative or condominium association a good understanding of what the property is worth in today’s market. 

Maintenance plan 

A maintenance plan is a valuable tool for housing cooperatives and condominiums that want to keep track of necessary maintenance and upgrades over time. The surveyor carries out a thorough review of the property and draws up a detailed plan describing which maintenance measures should be carried out, when they should be carried out, and estimates what they will cost. This gives the board of directors a good basis for planning and budgeting for maintenance, so that the building is kept in good condition and its value is maintained. 

Damage assessment 

If the property has suffered damage, for example as a result of water leakage, fire or natural disasters, a damage assessment may be necessary. An expert loss adjuster will carry out a thorough assessment of the extent of the damage and prepare a detailed report. The report describes the damage, assesses the necessary repairs and provides an estimate of the repair costs. This gives the housing cooperative or condominium a good basis for claiming compensation from the insurance company or making any claims against responsible parties. 

Condition report 

A condition report is a comprehensive assessment of the property’s technical condition. The report describes the condition of the property, any defects, deficiencies or maintenance needs, and gives a condition rating for various parts of the building. A condition report can be a useful tool for housing cooperatives and condominiums that want to get an overview of the building’s condition, uncover hidden defects and plan necessary maintenance and upgrades. The report can also be used as documentation when selling or in connection with insurance matters. 

Electrical inspection 

An electrical inspection is a thorough review of the property’s electrical system. It is usually carried out by a surveyor with specialist electrical expertise, or an electrical company. In order to be allowed to carry out an electrical inspection, the company and personnel carrying out the work must be Nemko certified. The purpose of the electrical inspection is to check that the electrical installation is in proper condition and to identify any faults or deficiencies that require rectification. The person responsible will check the age, capacity and condition of the electrical system, as well as checking that fuses, RCDs and other components are working properly. An electrical inspection can help increase safety and reduce the risk of fire or other damage caused by electrical faults. 

Inspection: after takeover, one-year inspection, etc. 

An appraiser can also assist housing cooperatives and condominiums with various types of inspections, for example in connection with the takeover of a new property or as part of a one-year inspection. During the inspection, the valuer carries out a visual inspection of the property to uncover any faults or defects that need to be rectified. The surveyor can also advise on maintenance and any upgrades that should be considered. The inspection report provides the housing cooperative or condominium association with valuable information about the condition of the property and can be used as a basis for complaints or warranty claims against the developer or contractor.

The recommendation is to have a condition report carried out every 5-10 years, depending on the age and general condition of the property.

The time required varies depending on the type of valuation and the size and complexity of the property. A simple valuation can often be carried out in a few days, while a more comprehensive condition report can take 1-2 weeks from inspection to completed report.

A thorough report from the surveyor will give you valuable information on what needs to be repaired. 

Yes, most surveyors have broad expertise in building technology and can provide good advice on maintenance, repairs and upgrades to the property. After carrying out a thorough inspection or condition assessment, the appraiser will often suggest measures that can increase the value of the property, reduce maintenance costs or improve the living environment for residents. 

In order for the valuer to be able to give you the best possible offer, it is important that you provide some basic information about the property. This includes the type of property (apartment building, townhouse, etc.), number of units/apartments, year of construction, location and what kind of valuation or assessment you want. The appraiser can then provide a more precise price estimate and get started with the assignment for you more quickly.
