Parameters:
This is an indicative basis on which the recipients of the appraisal services will know the charge for the service provided by the appraisal offices, where their Directors are members of the Association.
VAT is not included in the above charges, and will be calculated separately.
The logical basis is that the charge for each appraisal will be calculated according to the appraised value of the property.
Real estate appraisals located in different areas will be considered as separate appraisals and each property will be charged separately based on the table above.
For real estate revaluation that, we suggest, the charge will be made based on the above table minus 50%, with a minimum charge of € 150, plus VAT. Reassessment is defined as the assessment of a property whose condition has not changed substantially (addition / subtraction of land, change of urban / cadastral characteristics) and the previous assessment has been made within a period of two years (maximum period).
There are cases where even low value properties can be quite complex and require more time and research. In this case where the customer finds that the charge is significantly higher than the minimum suggested, we recommend the customer to ask the appraiser in detail the reason for the additional charge.
There will be a Special Charging Agreement for Court cases and complex complex developments.
