Valuation DTZ provides comprehensive valuation, appraisal and due diligence advice to a wide range of clients, including investors, corporate and public sector owners, lenders, and fund managers. Our clients use our valuation advice for a variety of purposes including assessing potential transactions, asset financing, financial reporting and IPO listings.
We value all types of real estate assets. From traditional property to the unique, we have valued everything from London’s Millennium Dome (now the O2 Arena) to national banks, court houses and airports. Working with you, we assess your property assets and identify where and how the greatest value might be realised. Integrity and rigour are vital in this field and our risk assessment and vetting procedures are second to none. Valuation is not just about helping to set a seller’s expectations, it is about knowing who the potential purchasers could be - and the value of that asset to them. To realise true value, you have to know who is in the market and might be persuaded to be - and this is where the experience, relationships with major financial institutions and global reach of DTZ comes into its own. We draw on our valuation know-how, complemented by tax and negotiation expertise, in our dedicated statutory valuations and ratings teams, which have a well established track record in proactively managing and reducing clients’ property-related tax burden.
