:: Consultancy Property & Asset Evaluation

Offering the Best in Property Management and Expertise

Since frequently changing legislations coupled with the complexity of local markets call for careful consideration and accurate property advice, we offer detailed information and a precise understanding of all markets to monitor and forecast investment performance. We are ideally placed to guide prospective investors through this rapidly evolving market, advising on the optimum investment strategy and undertaking due diligence to get to the heart of any investment opportunity such as:

  • property or portfolio acquisitions or dispositions.
  • mergers, acquisitions or alliances.
  • property for stock swaps and investment restructuring.
  • product/service design and marketing plans.
  • new investment products/concepts.
  • new business lines or opportunities.

Improving market conditions and greater transactional activity have prompted owners to engage our services to analyze and review their property portfolio and to assess its sale potential. We determine the disposal, pricing and marketing strategies and present the offering to the market generally or to specifically selected purchasers to secure a sale on the most advantageous conditions.

Such advice results, as a rule, in savings in time and money for the owners and is an integral part of our "after sales service" for most of the projects of which we undertake the management of development. Each project is different in nature, location, and requirements, therefore our experience in the fields of property development, promotion and sales of property, valuations, taxation, financing and project management provides us with good background for giving advice on property development projects. We use this experience for carrying out feasibility and viability studies for this purpose. Studies of such a nature are normally governed by clients' brief as to their extent and nature but they normally include the following: identification of alternative development scheme on the site, ascertainment of the feasibility and viability of the project, its risk factor and equity return, the assessment of the required equity capital, the amount of timing/cost/finance required, cash in/out flow projections, design briefings and the timing of a development, the marketing of the project and suggestions on the organization structure of the management of the project. Each type of property has a different market source and what is suitable in one case might not be in another. Keeping therefore a careful watch on the market during the implementation of a project is of the utmost importance.

On another level, accounting rules and taxation requirements, takeover bids and other considerations have created the need for the valuation of property for asset purposes. Property valuation is an essential component of business. As well as being used for balance sheet, taxation, finance, loan and restructuring purposes, it is frequently adopted as a management tool in assessing return on assets and as a benchmark against which to judge performance. We provide valuation for all types of commercial property and facilities. Our ability to offer market based valuation assignments by qualified and experienced professionals is based on our day to day market involvement in transactions across all sectors.

Also project auditing is carried out in many countries especially when expected results are not met.
