An appraisal involves making a considered estimate of the value of a property. When making that estimate, various facets are taken into account. Consider the state of repair of the property, but also the number of square metres of the plot, the method of insulation and the materials used determine the appraiser's assessment.
One of the most important things that determine the price of your home is the location of the plot. And not just the area of the land, but particularly the location. Is the property close to the city centre? Are commonly used facilities such as shops, public transport and schools nearby? And what about the accessibility of the property and the popularity of the neighbourhood or street? The answers to these questions largely determine the property value.
Of course, the location of your home is not the only thing that affects the valuation. The number of square metres of your home is also very important. Usually, the larger the living space, the higher the value. Installing an extension or a dormer, for example, usually increases the house value. Whether or not there is a garden attached to the house also affects the appraised value. And, of course, of crucial importance: the condition of the house. Has the house always been well maintained and is everything nicely finished? Then that saves thousands of euros. Furthermore, all other things that influence the quality of the house are included in the valuation. How modern is the kitchen? Are there toilets on all floors? Can the car be parked inside in winter? Just a few questions whose answers can affect the value.
