Financing, buying and selling

We assist you when a market value appraisal of your property is required in your mortgage application process by a financial institution or a private lender. We are able to provide a fair, objective, and timely appraisal. We are accredited by the majority of financial institutions operating in Quebec.

We can also help you establish the fair market value of your property, whether you’re buying or selling.

Insurance

Insurable Values

Your insurer may request an approved appraisal of the cost of reconstruction, replacement or reproduction. Our appraisal services in insurable values apply to all types of property, whether residential, commercial, industrial or agricultural, as well as to your heavy equipment.

We also undertake large-scale assignments for the appraisal of institutional real estate portfolios and municipal equipment.

Condominiums

The Law 141 requires condominium syndicates to have adequate insurance coverage corresponding to the reconstruction value of the buildings, by having a periodic cost appraisal carried out every 5 years. This legislative framework aims to protect co-owners by ensuring appropriate compensation in the event of a claim.

Our appraisal services for insurance purposes in this context include:

Accurate appraisal of reconstruction value: We determine the replacement value of the property, including reconstruction costs, taking into account current construction standards, materials used and current rates.
Compliance with Law 141: Our reports meet legal and regulatory requirements, ensuring that condominium syndicates comply with insurance obligations.
Periodic updates: We offer regular re-appraisals to account for variations in construction costs or modifications to the building.
Personalized support: We work closely with condominium administrators and their advisors to explain the report, adjust coverage, and ensure peace of mind for all co-owners.
Contingency fund and maintenance log: With your agreement, we will transmit the information to our partner engineer for a complete and coordinated service.

Rental Values

Our team of appraisers is able to produce rental value studies as part of lease negotiations or renewals, whether for commercial or residential agreements, for individual premises or entire buildings. Our expertise is based on the data collected and analyzed by our rental agreement business intelligence department, and we will be able to collate the relevant and complete information to respond precisely to your requests.

Market Studies & Consulting

We carry out project-specific, tailor-made real estate market analyses and studies to meet all your needs. We help you make business decisions, market your projects and plan your projects. We can advise you on the best and most profitable use, design and marketing strategies for your projects, make forecasts or carry out feasibility studies.

We also conduct general real estate market studies, by region or by real estate activity sector, for communication, information, and presentation purposes.

Finally, we conduct real estate market impact studies for various projects, such as the effect of fiscal decisions, the implementation of transportation projects, new urban planning decisions, or regulatory changes.

Our market research department relies on data carefully analyzed by our business intelligence department. We will be able to collate relevant and complete information to meet your precise requirements.

Litigation, Taxation, and Asset Division

We carry out valuations in the context of disputes such as separations, divorces, divisions between partners or company dissolutions. Our team of appraisers has developed the rigor and unfailing objectivity to help you in these areas. We can also assist you with tax procedures such as capital gains tax assessments.

Expertise and expropriation

Over the years, we have developed expertise in valuations in the context of forced acquisitions such as expropriation. Several of our appraisers are recognized as expert witnesses before the Tribunal Administratif du Québec and the Superior Courts. We have appeared in a wide variety of cases, from residential to commercial and industrial. We represent both expropriating and expropriated bodies, in the absence of conflicts of interest and in compliance with the regulations and standards of practice dictated by the Ordre des évaluateurs agréés du Québec.

We are also able to meet your needs in the context of property rights dismemberment, such as in the case of estimating restrictions on rights applicable to various types of easements, rights of way or emphyteutic rights.

We also respond to your requests for assessments relating to the Loi sur l’aménagement et l’urbanisme (estimation des frais de parcs) and for any other complex regulatory context related to this law.
