The Report
The Canadian Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (CUSPAP) refers to types of Appraisal Reports including: A Narrative Appraisal Report, and a Form Appraisal Report. The Narrative Appraisal Report is defined as a comprehensive and detailed appraisal report. The Form Appraisal Report is a standardized format combining check-off boxes and narrative comments.
Our clients require a full Narrative Report format. The document is generally 50+ pages and can include up to three (3) distinct accepted methods of valuation. The selection of a relevant methodology depends upon the nature and characteristics of the real estate under consideration.
Opinion of Value
An Opinion of Value is different from an Appraisal Report
This is a brief report, completed by a Real Estate Professional, that provides a value range based on current market sales as a refection of the local market. Examples of purpose of an Opinion of Value Report are personal decision making considerations such as:
- Relocating your Business
- Selling your Asset
- Leveraging your Equity
- Estimating your Net Worth
- Pre-purchasing and Pre-sale Consultation
