Before a sale or purchase
Listing prices are asking prices, not transaction prices. Start from value instead.

Services
Property appraisal
Valuation of land, apartments, houses, buildings, and commercial or industrial property — examining what actually creates value: location, area, planning status, condition, use, and the market as at the valuation date.
Appraisal for courts
Expert reports for litigation and disputes that turn on the value or characteristics of a property — whether appointed by the court or instructed by a party.
Appraisal for banks
Valuation for financing, security or mortgage purposes, prepared to the requesting institution's requirements. The institution and its requirements are identified before work begins, because bank requirements differ from one to the next.
Inheritance valuation and division
Property-by-property valuation of an estate, so a family can compare shares and weigh division, sale or settlement against one set of figures everyone accepts the source of.
Reports for embassies
Valuation and ownership reports prepared for embassy, visa, residency or administrative files, following the instructions the requesting authority has issued.
Corporate asset valuation
Valuation of company property and fixed assets for restructuring, a partner entering or leaving, financing, or the preparation of financial statements.
How an appraisal works
How an appraisal works
- 01Establish the purpose
Why the value is needed, and who will read the report.
- 02Review the documents
Title extract, ownership, cadastral maps, permits, any lease.
- 03Inspect
A site visit: location, condition, use, surroundings.
- 04Analyse
Evidence tested against the market and comparable properties.
- 05Report
A dated conclusion, with sources, assumptions and limits.
Why it matters
Anyone can name a price. Far fewer can show their working.
That is the difference between an estimate and a report, and it is the difference an institution actually reads.
A quick estimate
A figure.
- No stated property, no stated date
- No documents reviewed
- No method to examine
A sworn report
A figure, and why.
- Which property, and as at what date
- Which documents were reviewed, and whether it was inspected
- Which approach was used, and why
When
Five decisions that are hard to undo.
Each one starts with a value that someone else is entitled to examine.
In an inheritance
An estate holding an apartment, a plot and a shop cannot be divided by counting. It is divided by value.
Inheritance valuationIn a dispute
An independent report moves the argument off personal estimates and onto figures that can be examined.
For a bank
Property offered as security needs a valuation that meets the lender's requirements.
For a company or an embassy
A partner entering or leaving, financial statements, or a file that requires proof of an asset's value.
Owners abroad
You do not have to fly to Beirut to start.
Reports are prepared in Arabic and English. Sworn translation or legalisation, where an authority requires it, is arranged through the competent bodies.
- 01
Send scans. Title documents and the property details, by email or WhatsApp.
- 02
Get the file reviewed. What is missing, whether an inspection is needed, what it will take.
- 03
Only then decide. A power of attorney or a local representative is arranged only if a step actually requires one.
Tell me the property, the region and why the value is needed.
The file is reviewed first: documents required, scope of work, expected timeframe. No fee is quoted before that.
