“Have you scheduled a property valuation?”<\/span><\/p>\n

Hilmi, an owner in preparation to sell his semi-detached house in Shah Alam, looked up from his phone. <\/span><\/p>\n

“I can help sell this property, but a valuer will ensure you get the best deal out of this sale.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Hilmi, a young owner of several properties ponders and listen to his agent’s advice – as his wishes to profit as much from these sales. But why is property valuation a “must-know” for us?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\n
So what is Property Valuation?<\/span><\/h2>\n
Property valuation provides services to an organization or an individual to determine the worth of their property – be it a row of office spaces in Kota Damansara or a townhouse in Setia Alam.<\/span><\/p>\n
As a valuer, they will provide a fair price of any land, factory or a building based on the property’s valuation. <\/span><\/p>\n
Property valuation<\/a> will also include the estimation of;<\/span><\/p>\n

Right, I am intrigued, but who carries out a property valuation?<\/span><\/h2>\n
A valuer will carry out your valuation, as they’ll consider elements like the storage, age, size, wear and tear, and room layout in approximating an appropriate figure. <\/span><\/p>\n
They’ll also look at similar properties in the area and consider what the market is like.<\/span><\/p>\n
For example, a real estate agent wishes to sell an old couple’s home in Subang Jaya. While location comes to play, the state of the property plays an important role to provide the overall cost and price to estimate the value – thus the presence of a valuer is present.<\/span><\/p>\n
$\"\"$ <\/h3>\n
<\/h3>\n
But is there a difference between Value, Cost and Price?<\/span><\/h3>\n
Yes, the value does not necessarily equal to cost or price<\/a>.<\/em> <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
Cost – refers to actual expenditures such as materials or labour. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
Price – refers to the amount that someone pays for something. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
While cost and price can affect value, they do not determine value. The sales price in Nilai might be RM500,000, but the value could be significantly higher or lower. <\/span><\/p>\n
For example, if a new owner finds a serious flaw such as a huge wall crack in the master bedroom, the house’s value could be lower than the price.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
Age and condition of buildings<\/span><\/li>\n
Date of sale<\/span><\/li>\n
Terms and conditions of sale, such as seller were forced or if a property was sold between relatives<\/span><\/li>\n
