However, any report is not enough – it is essential that it is prepared by specialized professionals, with technical criteria, legal responsibility and in-depth knowledge of the market.
Below, we explain what makes a property appraisal report truly reliable, what it should contain and, above all, why choosing a professional service can prevent losses and ensure peace of mind in your decisions.
What is a property appraisal report?
A property appraisal report is a technical document that estimates the value of a property based on regulatory, legal and market criteria. It is generally prepared by a duly qualified engineer or architect, following standards such as ABNT NBR 14.653, which guarantees the standardization and quality of the appraisals.
Therefore, this document is essential in situations such as:
Purchase and sale of real estate
Financing and bank guarantees
Inventories and divisions
Asset and accounting appraisals
Legal actions and technical expertise
The importance of a good appraisal report
A good property appraisal report goes far beyond a simple estimate of value. It provides legal certainty, technical support and decision-making support. See below why it is so important:
Firstly, it prevents financial losses
Incorrect assessments can overestimate or underestimate the value of the property, consequently generating losses in negotiations, undue taxation or problems in legal proceedings.
Furthermore, it guarantees legal validity
Only reports prepared by qualified professionals, with the issuance of an ART (Technical Responsibility Note) or RRT (Technical Responsibility Record), have legal validity and are accepted by banks, public bodies and courts.
Likewise, it provides transparency and credibility to transactions
An impartial technical report is essential for fair and transparent negotiations, especially when there are multiple parties involved.
Finally, it supports strategic decisions
Investors, companies and asset managers use reports to assess risks, opportunities and ensure return on investment based on real market data.
Therefore, having a good report is a smart and strategic decision.
