Property Valuation FAQs
Below are answers to common questions about professional property valuation services in Mauritius.
What documents are required for a property valuation?
The documents required depend on the property and purpose of the valuation. They may include the title deed, site plan, building plans, survey documents, lease agreements, tenancy information and other relevant property records. Additional information may be requested depending on the scope of the instruction.
Is a property inspection required?
A property inspection is generally undertaken where appropriate to the valuation instruction. The extent of inspection and investigation depends on the property type, purpose, agreed scope and any limitations applicable to the assignment.
How long does a property valuation take?
