Real Estate for a changing world

Valuing

Determining your real estate asset’s value

Valuation is all about the underlying factors, and while ‘location, location, location’ is still true to this day, the advance of digital applications to real estate is adding a great deal of new important factors into the mix. When combined with the right advice, more factors and more data mean more knowledge over an asset’s value.

The digital transformation of valuation

What value does a real estate asset have? After the structure itself and the land it stands on, the greatest source of a building’s value is the degree to which it meets the needs of its current occupiers and end-users. This match can be measured and analysed. The ever-growing amount of data available enables in depth and accurate valuation making valuation a strategic part of business.

In the past, the data market was mainly used to set numerical values, whereas now each piece of data will have its importance in the customer’s choice: vacancy rates, average rents, take-up, average capital value, crime rates, sunshine rates, local voting patterns, road traffic or air quality. By using and analysing this information, our valuers can better determine your asset’s value and thereby reduce risks and guide business decisions.

The digital value of a building – a new guiding factor

Advances in digital technology are resulting in new uses for our buildings. The ways in which we use our offices and homes are changing, directly impacting value. Working or living environments that are outdated immediately have less appeal, and therefore less value. The move to smart, mobile-friendly, and responsible use of spaces, is fuelled by data-driven design and creates a ‘digital value’ for building that can be harnessed for success.
