How it works
Three steps, from description to valuation
What differs from valuing a home is the information we ask for: the use, the number of units and the current rent roll.
Describe the building
The address, the use (residential, commercial or mixed), the number of units, the floor areas and the current rent roll. Those earnings, and how dependable they are, drive the value.
Your building is compared and capitalised
Your building is compared with transactions and listings of similar buildings in the area, and its income is capitalised at the local market rate. The building zone and the use both enter the calculation.
Get the value and the yield
You receive a market-value range and the gross yield that goes with it, with the comparables behind them. You can then ask for an expert visit.
How the value is calculated
A building is valued on what it earns
The rent roll is the starting point: the rents collected, capitalised at the rate the local market applies to that kind of income. The result is then checked against the transactions and listings of comparable buildings nearby, which is what turns a formula into a market range.

An expert visit, if you want one
The online valuation places your building. For a sale, a RealAdvisor expert can visit and produce a full report: the local market, the state of the asset and its leases, a sale price with a target yield and a marketing plan for qualified investors.

What we look at
What goes into the valuation of a building
Two identical buildings are not worth the same if their leases, vacancy or use differ. Here is what the estimate takes into account.
The rent roll
The rents collected, how regular they are and the room to adjust them: the basis of the calculation, before any square metre.
The use
Residential, commercial or mixed: each use has its own market, its own buyers and its own capitalisation rate.
Location and zoning
The municipality, the neighbourhood and the building zone drive both rental demand and land value.
Comparables in the area
Transactions and listings of comparable buildings nearby, which show the rate at which the market really capitalises this kind of income.
Vacancy and running costs
A building with low vacancy and costs under control sells better, and the range reflects that.
What only a visit shows
The state of the building, the works ahead and the quality of the leases are in no database. That is what the expert visit is for.

Frequently asked questions about valuing a building
How is valuing a building different from valuing a house?
A house is valued against comparable homes sold nearby. An investment property is valued first on its income: the rent roll is capitalised at the market rate, and the result is then checked against transactions of comparable buildings.
Is the valuation free?
Yes, free and with no commitment, as for a home. RealAdvisor is paid by property professionals, not by owners.
What information do I need?
The address, the use, the number of units, the floor areas and the rent roll. The more precise your rents, the tighter the range.
Which property types are covered?
Residential, commercial and mixed-use buildings. For a house or a flat, even one you let, use the standard property valuation.
What do I receive?
A market-value range, the gross yield that goes with it and the comparables it rests on. The detailed expert report requires a visit on site.
Will agents contact me?
Not unless you ask. The valuation commits you to nothing; if you later want an expert visit or plan a sale, you choose whom to contact. You can have your data deleted at any time (see our privacy policy).
Can I sell my building through RealAdvisor?
Yes. After the visit our experts can handle the marketing to qualified investors. You can also compare the agencies in your area in our directory.
