APPRAISAL REVIEW

An independent and unbiased critical assessment and reasoned opinion as to the acceptability and quality of another appraiser’s work product in the context of part or all of the appraiser’s Scope of Work. Reviews can range from a basic compliance review to a full, technical review, which is undertaken in accordance with Canadian Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (CUSPAP) and includes a review of the reports compliance with the appropriate standard, as well as an opinion of the suitability of the market data employed and the veracity of the conclusions. Further, a technical review will assess the highest and best use analysis, appraisal methodologies in the context of the Scope of Work and has a quality control function. Technical reviews may or may not include a site view. Often technical reviews are used for quality control, settlement functions or litigation.

PROPERTY TAX APPEAL

We assist our clients in minimizing their property tax burden by appealing inequitable or erroneous property assessments. We can review your property tax assessment, and advise you whether or not an appeal would be warranted. If yes, we will handle the entire process, including completing a valuation, negotiating with the assessor, and appearing before the appeal court if necessary.

VACANT LAND VALUATION

HIGHEST & BEST USE ANALYSIS

Valuation of vacant land can be a complex function that is tied to the fundamental concept of Highest & Best Use.

In forming an opinion of the highest and best use, there are essentially four stages of analysis: the potential use must be physically possible and legally permissible, there must be a profitable demand for such a use, and it must return to the land the highest net return for the longest period of time.

Vacant Land

SENIORS HOUSING VALUATION & FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS

Seniors housing valuation and feasibility analysis is a highly specialized field requiring extensive knowledge of the operational models associated with such facilities, demographic change, as well a thorough understanding of related health care policies.

In recent years we have completed valuations on a large proportion of existing personal care home facilities in all regions of the province, and have undertaken work in other provinces of Atlantic Canada. Our work has included market and feasibility studies, as well as 'as complete' enterprise valuations for financing purposes.
