An appraisal report is a signed professional opinion of value. A complete report is built from these parts:
Heirs abroad often need two values: the value as of the date of death, for the estate and for tax filings in their country, and the current market value, for a sale or a division between the heirs. We can value the property as of both dates.
When the other spouse lives in the apartment, the inspection is coordinated with them, usually through the attorneys. The report values the property as of the date your attorney specifies, for example the date of separation.
The local planning committee charges a betterment levy when a new zoning plan (taba), a variance or a change of use increases the value of a property. It is usually demanded when you sell or apply for a building permit. You have 45 days from receiving the assessment to file a counter-appraisal or request a decisive appraiser, so have it scanned and sent to us as soon as it arrives.
Israeli documents and officials use Hebrew terms. These are the ones that come up most in property matters:
No. We coordinate the inspection with a family member, a tenant or your attorney, and send the report by email.
Yes. Correspondence, calls and reports can be in English.
It depends on the property and the purpose of the appraisal. We send a quote after a short conversation, with no obligation.
