For sellers

Define the purpose before asking for a valuation

For a seller, a valuation may support a pricing discussion, a mortgage change, a division of assets or another decision. Those purposes can require different dates, evidence and report formats. The report recipient or adviser can tell you what they will accept.

Information to gather

Prepare the address, property type, floor area, ownership details, known rights or restrictions and any documents about improvements. Note changes such as an extension, insulation work or deferred maintenance. NWWI assignment conditions list maintenance, insulation, comparable homes and local market information among the subjects that can appear in a residential valuation.

Separate market context from a tax report

The Waarderingskamer explains the statutory WOZ value and its value date. A WOZ value can inform a discussion, yet it does not automatically replace a report required by a lender or another institution. The valuation basics guide explains why purpose and date matter.

Compare the work behind the quote

Ask whether the price includes inspection, research, report preparation, validation, VAT and travel. Read the guide to valuation cost factors and how to compare valuation quotes before agreeing to a scope.

If you are preparing documents for an appointment, use the property valuation checklist. Beste Taxateur provides general information and does not set a sale price or provide a valuation service.

Questions before accepting a quote

Ask who will receive the report, which value date is needed and whether the intended use requires validation. Clarify what the inspection covers, which documents are included in the research and how changes to the scope affect the total. These questions make two quotes easier to compare and reduce avoidable follow-up.

Keep the evidence together

Store the quote, property details, improvement records and final report in one place. If the report is for a lender, adviser or another institution, send questions about acceptance to that organisation. The valuation report guide explains which details are worth checking before the report is used.
