Do you determine the final compensation amount?

We provide a professional opinion of value within the instruction. Entitlement and final compensation are determined through the competent authority's process.

Can the remaining property be included?

That depends on the question, records and applicable requirements and must be stated expressly in the scope.

Which valuation date is used in an expropriation valuation?

The date follows the decision or requesting party's instructions and is stated with evidence relevant to that date.

Can you review an earlier assessment?

An independent review can be undertaken once its purpose, scope, earlier report and supporting records are available.
