How to evaluate the apartment
According to the legislation, in all the above cases, the evaluation of an apartment means the definition market value of apartment. In order to learn how appraisers determine the cost, we recommend reading the article: “How do you determine the price of apartments”. In other words, your home costs the same as a similar home:
- in your microdistrict – as you know, in real estate pricing the main factor is location. Therefore, when choosing objects of comparison it is extremely important to consider in the first place neighboring or approximate apartment buildings;
- with a similar total area – despite the fact that the market value of the facility is calculated through the cost of one square meter, it is desirable for comparison and calculation when evaluating apartments to look for housing with a comparable total area. After all, as you know, even apartments in standard houses with the same number of rooms can differ significantly on this indicator;
- with the same number of rooms – in most cases, the more rooms the apartment, the lower the cost of one square meter of such property. Therefore, for correct calculations, the appraisers select housing with the same number of living quarters. Although it should be noted that in practice this rule does not always work;
- in a house of the same type – it is completely wrong to compare the cost of apartments in different types of houses, for example, in new buildings, “stalins” and “khrushchev”. Because the cost of a square meter even in neighboring houses of various types can vary even twice,
with adjustments:
- floor (first, last) – in general, when evaluating apartments in Kiev on the first and last floors choose objects of comparison with the same characteristics. At the same time, it often happens that similar housing is offered for sale only on middle floors. In this case, the valuer takes into account the difference in value using the appropriate adjustments. After all, the price of sq.m. apartments on the first or last floor in the absolute majority of cases below sq.m. on the middle floor;
- condition (level of finishing, repair) – appraisers of apartments choose objects of comparison with the same condition as the object of assessment, but in some cases it is impossible to do this. An example is an apartment in a modern house that stood without finishing, say, ten years. At a time when the whole house has long been occupied, and all other rooms have been renovated;
- bargaining – the difference between the offer price and the sale price of real estate takes into account the so-called bid adjustment. In case of assessment of apartments in Kiev, this amendment is usually between 5 and 10%.
Features of the evaluation of the market value of the share in the apartment.
The main question in estimating the share of a dwelling (apartment or house) is whether the assessed part of the object is allocated in kind or not.
- The share is in kind. In the document on the ownership of the apartment or house in this case will be listed premises that belong to this co-owner. At a minimum, it must be specified which room or rooms are the exclusive property of the evaluation customer. If such information is contained in the law of establishing documents, the objects of comparison for determining the market value of real estate are announcements of offers for the sale of similar self-contained dwellings. Namely, rooms in communal apartments, rooms in dormitories, autonomous parts of residential buildings and so on. The peculiarity of such shares is that they can be sold without the consent of other co-owners of the apartment or house. In such a situation, the share allocated in kind is more liquid than a certain amount of square meters of real estate, as in the following paragraph.
- Share which is not allocated in kind. The cost of such a share in residential and non-residential real estate is estimated differently. Since there is no attachment of property to specific premises, the appraiser determines the market value of the whole object (evaluates the apartment) as a whole. The share value is then calculated pro rata. For example, if the cost of the apartment got 1 million UAH, and you need to estimate the share of 30%, the cost of such a share, obviously, will be 300 thousand UAH. A feature of the shares of real estate that are not highlighted in kind is a complicated scheme about their alienation. In particular, such a sale must be agreed with the neighbors – other co-owners of the entire property. In this case, the co-owner may order an assessment of the apartment or a share in it at his discretion.
