WHY APPRAISALS MATTER
Informed Decisions Start with Valuation
Commercial and industrial asset valuations can support lending, accounting, asset redeployment, estate planning, insurance, leasing, litigation and mergers and acquisitions. The appropriate valuation approach depends on the assets, purpose of the appraisal and circumstances of the engagement.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why can the same asset have different appraised values?
An asset’s value can vary depending on the purpose of the appraisal and the definition of value being used. Fair market value, orderly liquidation value, forced liquidation value and replacement cost reflect different assumptions about the market, sale process and time available to transact. The appropriate definition depends on the assets and circumstances of the engagement.
Is appraised value the same as the price an asset will ultimately sell for?
Not necessarily. An appraisal provides an opinion of value as of a specific date and under defined assumptions. An actual sale price can be affected by market conditions, buyer competition, timing, transaction terms and other circumstances surrounding the sale.
What factors can affect the value of commercial and industrial assets?
Depending on the asset, value may be influenced by condition, age, obsolescence, market demand, buyer depth, location, removal or transportation requirements and broader industry and economic conditions. The significance of each factor varies by asset class and market.
What is the difference between orderly liquidation value and forced liquidation value?
Both consider a potential disposition of assets, but they reflect different sale circumstances. Orderly liquidation assumes a reasonable period to market and sell the assets, while forced liquidation reflects a more compressed sale period. Those different assumptions can lead to different value conclusions.
How current does an asset appraisal need to be?
There is no single timeframe that applies to every appraisal. How long a valuation remains relevant depends on the asset type, market conditions, the purpose of the appraisal and whether there have been meaningful changes to the assets or the business. Significant market or asset changes may warrant an updated valuation.
What determines how long an appraisal takes?
Timing can depend on the type and quantity of assets, number of locations, complexity of the engagement, availability of supporting information and the scope of the appraisal. HGV can discuss timing and engagement requirements after reviewing the initial project information.
