ONGOING IMPROVEMENT IN ALL ASPECTS OF THE APPRAISAL PROCESS

Our process follows this protocol:

Request from client for an appraisal via any of the normal incoming procedures (mail, fax, phone, etc.) to our central office at AFES.
A file is opened in the Appraising Management Dept., where it is filtered for incompatibilities with the company and only then approved for processing.
Allocation of the appropriate expert depending on the geographical location and asset characteristics. Our expert contacts the client, visits the property, draws up documentation, creates a floor or building plan, undertakes property register research if necessary and carries out a study of the local market.
A report is drawn up using the AFES computer programme, applying the appraisal method that is most appropriate for the asset being valued and the purpose of the valuation. Data on the asset are crosschecked with evidence taken from the market survey and comparable data available in the company’s database. The final appraisal value is obtained.

The report is sent by the expert in charge via the in-house IT programme to the Technical Control and Validation Dept.
The file is reviewed by an expert in the Technical Control and Validation Dept. and is quality approval if it complies with all current legislation.
The summarised version of the file is sent in .pdf format to the requesting office or client as an advance copy of the valuation, so that basic data are provided as speedily as possible.
The originals and the AFES company certificate are then sent to the requesting office or client, as the case may be.
