Reliable Property Valuation for Better Real Estate Decisions

Property is one of the most significant assets owned by individuals, businesses and institutions. Understanding its value is therefore important when making financial, investment and management decisions.

A property valuation provides a professional opinion of value based on factors such as the property’s location, physical characteristics, condition, use, market conditions and available comparable evidence. The appropriate approach will depend on the type of property and the purpose of the valuation.

At GIMCO, valuation forms part of a broader range of professional real estate consultancy services. Our integrated approach allows clients to access property-related expertise beyond valuation, depending on their needs.

What Are Property Valuation Services?

Property valuation services involve the professional assessment of a property’s value for a specific purpose and as at a specified date.

A valuation assignment may consider the physical characteristics of the property, its location, existing use, potential use, market conditions, comparable transactions, income potential and other factors relevant to the assignment.

The resulting valuation report provides documented professional analysis that can assist clients in making informed decisions.

Why Is Property Valuation Important?

A reliable property valuation provides an objective basis for understanding the value and market position of a property. It can support a wide range of property, investment and financial decisions, helping property owners, buyers, investors and institutions make informed decisions based on professional assessment and relevant market evidence.

Common Property Valuation Approaches

Different properties and valuation assignments may require different approaches.

Comparison Approach

The comparison approach considers evidence from comparable properties and transactions.

The relevance of comparable evidence depends on factors such as location, property type, size, condition, use and market circumstances.

Income Approach

The income approach may be relevant for properties that generate or have the potential to generate income.

Factors such as rental income, operating characteristics and investment considerations may be analysed when appropriate.

Cost Approach

The cost approach considers the cost of creating or replacing the improvements associated with a property, together with relevant land and other considerations.

The appropriate approach depends on the circumstances of the property and the purpose of the valuation.

Property Valuation Standards and Professional Practice in Kenya

Professional property valuation should be undertaken with consideration of the relevant Kenyan legal and professional framework.

Kenya has legislation and regulations governing valuation practice, including requirements relating to registered and licensed valuers and specific valuation assignments.

Clients seeking information about Kenyan legislation and regulations can refer to Kenya Law, the official platform for accessing Kenyan legal information.

Professional valuation also requires appropriate documentation, inspection, research, analysis and reporting.

At GIMCO, our approach is designed to provide clients with professional valuation information that is relevant to the purpose of their assignment.

Professional Expertise

Property valuation requires professional knowledge, appropriate analysis and an understanding of the purpose for which the valuation is being undertaken.

GIMCO approaches each assignment with attention to professional requirements and the specific circumstances of the property.

Knowledge of the Kenyan Property Market

Property values can vary significantly depending on location, accessibility, infrastructure, surrounding developments, demand and other market factors.

Our experience in the Kenyan real estate market allows us to consider the wider market environment when undertaking valuation assignments.

Research-Based Approach

Reliable valuation requires more than simply looking at a property.

Relevant market evidence, comparable properties, property characteristics and other available information may all contribute to the valuation analysis.

Confidential and Professional Service

Property information can involve sensitive financial and ownership considerations.

GIMCO maintains a professional approach to client assignments and handles relevant information with appropriate confidentiality.

Integrated Real Estate Consultancy

Valuation is often connected to other real estate decisions.

For example, an investor considering the purchase of a property may require valuation together with market research or feasibility analysis. A property owner may require valuation alongside ongoing asset and property management.

GIMCO offers a wider range of professional services, including property management services, agency, feasibility studies, research consultancy and other real estate solutions.

This integrated approach allows clients to access relevant property expertise based on their individual requirements.

Property Valuation and Real Estate Investment Planning

Property valuation can provide important information for investors considering the acquisition, development or management of real estate assets.

However, valuation alone may not answer every investment question.

An investor considering development may also need to understand:

• Market demand
• Development costs
• Expected revenues
• Competition
• Planning considerations
• Potential risks
• Financing requirements
• Expected returns

For projects where these issues need to be investigated, GIMCO’s [Feasibility Studies in Kenya] can complement property valuation by providing a broader assessment of a proposed development or investment.

This is particularly relevant when assessing land development opportunities, redevelopment projects, residential developments, commercial projects and mixed-use developments.

Property Valuation Services Across Kenya

Property values are influenced by local market conditions, making location an important component of valuation.

GIMCO provides valuation services for properties in Nairobi and other areas of Kenya, subject to the requirements and scope of each assignment.

Whether the property is residential, commercial, industrial or land, the valuation process considers the characteristics and market circumstances relevant to the specific assignment.

For property owners and investors, understanding the local market context can provide valuable information when making real estate decisions.
