There are many online property valuation tools (especially homes): BBVA Valora, Bankia, Tudomus, Tinsa, etc. And their results differ by a few (few or many) thousands of euros. Because valuations depend. They depend on many factors, including the internal decoration, its structure (wooden, perhaps), the orientation of the house, the ford rights in premises or the socio-economic area of its surroundings. So valuations are difficult, as are appraisals: because if you pay more for an appraisal it is because you want to use it as a pivotal element to sell, buy or finance a farm. And here there are also variations between appraisers, so that an appraiser will not serve a certain bank, which will require its own appraisal for the financing of the farm.
What is the true value of an appraisal or valuation, formal or informal, of a farm? Well... Its effectiveness in the management of its sale? No doubt. Without a doubt. So correct (according to the market), reasonable (according to the owners), professional (according to the appraiser) ... and effective (according to the buyer) valuations are given.
The difference between the offer/exit value of a property and its deed value (in the plausible case that the sale is perfected)... depends on the area. Because in the Basque Country the same thing does not happen as in Madrid, and the price difference is simply different. The objective of a valuation, from the point of view of mariatomasa.com, is to achieve a pivot of offer to accompany the visible (and not so visible) characteristics of the property, so that, without leaving the price range of the seller, it satisfies the price ranges of the buyers. Our current database (mariatomasa.com) consists of more than 13,000 potential buyers who have already approached our company and have not yet purchased. So it's about convergence, synergy... efficiency, at last.
When we are asked about payment appraisals, our custom is to ask again for the reason: self-security, guarantee before third parties, judicial interventions, valuation conflicts, etc. Because sometimes the certification of a price is necessary. Because sometimes this certification helps in situations of indefiniteness. Because, sometimes, it's the right thing to do. But ... how to assess each situation? Well, through a simple consultation to our commercial and legal departments ... which will be taken care of by our commercial agent, YOUR agent, the one in your area, the one in your farm.
