Unlocking a Property's Hidden Value

A Property Hidden Value Check-Up conducted by AskTheValuer can identify hidden value that could be unlocked using proven strategies that would increase the value of your property by tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. So, as a Seller, you will be selling your property based on the highest possible value and as a Buyer, you will be getting more value than what you are paying for.

From the Property Hidden Value Check-Up report, you will be pleasantly surprised to "see" hidden value in your property (the one you are selling or intend to buy) that you might not have known existed before. 

How is this hidden value unlocked? By proven strategies that require expertise and experience in the areas of zoning regulations and planning, building approvals and construction, project management, outsourcing and design creativity. The unlocked hidden value added to the property's "As Is" Market Value will result in its Highest Possible Value.

A property's full potential and consequently its Highest Possible Value is often hidden knowingly or unknowingly by property valuers and real estate agents. Valuers are often instructed to assess the "As Is" Market Value of a property, whilst most agents' property appraisals are almost always based on "As Is" Market Value.

Can you notice the difference? "As Is" Market Value only gives the property's value in its current state, while the Highest Possible Value assessed by AskTheValuer considers the property's use that is most feasible physically, financially and legally that would produce the highest value.  This results in the highest value (that we term the Highest Possible Value) for the property because it considers all feasible options and adopts the best of the best (and highest of the highest) use. Therefore, the Highest Possible Value of a property is often significantly higher than its "As Is" Market Value.

The Property Hidden Value Check-Up

The Property Hidden Value Check-Up is a 4-step process that involves (1) an inspection of the property; (2) uncovering hidden value based on physical, legal and financial considerations; (3) proposing strategies to unlock this hidden value; and (4) reporting the outcome of this check-up to you or the relevant entity. 

Conducted by AskTheValuer, the Hidden Value Check-Up consists of two parts: Property Value Unlock and Property Value Add.

Property Value Unlock provides proven strategies to unlock value in a property, while Property Value Add provides proven strategies to add value to a property. 

What's the Difference between Unlocking Value and Adding Value?

While Unlocking Value is mainly achieved by strategies requiring a thorough understanding of zoning regulations and planning and building approvals, Adding Value is primarily achieved by strategies requiring strong project management, outsourcing, and creativity.
