As far as I'm concerned, it is a good evaluation, it's even higher than my own estimation. I think that for a first opinion, it helps to target the location according to a specific budget.
Stéphane W.
Fast and reliable. I understand that the renovations and the condition of the building are important. Thank you.

Assessing an investment property - what are the valuation methods?
There are several ways to calculate the value of an investment property. At RealAdvisor, our experts will help you navigate each of these valuation methods to determine the market price of your commercial or residential property.
Capitalisation rate approach (also known as Income Capitalisation)
The capitalisation rate method involves dividing the net rental income by a capitalisation rate. This capitalisation rate is composed of a risk-free interest rate, plus a supplement for market risk/vacancy, administration costs, obsolescence, and maintenance of the property.
Discounted cash flow approach
The discounted cash flow method allows a projection based on an analysis of the future possibilities of the property (works, maintenance costs, taxes, etc.). In other words, it is a projection of how much money that investment will generate in the future.
Cost approach
The cost approach method takes the price of the building as brand new, from which depreciation due to the ageing of the building is subtracted. Depreciation is assessed according to the age and maintenance of the building.
Frequently asked questions
How to value an investment property?
The value of a rental property is estimated on the basis of several criteria, in particular the amount of rent received, and the expenses associated with the management and maintenance of the property. The rent is generally the most important criterion for estimating the real value of an investment property, as it is this amount that will determine the potential income that the new owner can expect to receive.
How to calculate the return on your investment property?
The return on a property is calculated according to the ratio between the amount of rent received and the purchase price of the property. The higher the ratio, the more attractive the return.
To calculate the rental yield of a property, the amount of rent received per year is divided by the purchase price of the property. If the property was purchased for CHF 10,000,000 and the rental income received is CHF 500,000 per year, the yield will be 5%.
It is important to take into account several factors to determine whether a property has a good rental yield, as the purchase price is not the only element to take into account. You also have to look at the management costs, the work to be done, the tax system, etc.
A property can produce a return on investment without being profitable. This means that the rent received covers the costs, but the property does not generate a profit. For a property to be profitable, the rent received must be higher than the costs of running it.
How to sell your investment property at the best price?
If you want to sell your rental property at the best price, there are a few things to consider. First, it is important to estimate the value of the building. This can be done by consulting a real estate broker or by using a property valuation tool. It is also important to find out the price per square meter of similar investment properties in the area or city in question.
Once you have obtained a value estimate for your investment property, it is important to maximise it before putting the property up for sale. This means that you may have to do some renovation work to make it more attractive to potential buyers.
Finally, it is important to choose the right time to sell and, above all, to be accompanied throughout the process by a professional. A real estate broker or an agency specialising in commercial property transactions will help you set a realistic price based on the local market conditions and will introduce you to qualified investors in order to make a sale at the best price and in the shortest time possible.
