Frequently Asked Questions
The RICS Red Book does not state “specific valuation purposes or purposes. It only requires that they are clearly defined in the Terms of Engagement document, which must be signed by the RICS Member and the client, in addition to the signature on the report.
The most common are:
- Internal use of the client requesting it.

- Market Value / Market Income / Investment Value / Fair Value / Liquidation Value / Fair Value.
Regarding the approaches and methods, they are similar in both regulations, with the difference that the RICS recommends, but does not oblige, to use a specific one. It is the RICS valuator who has the power to choose the most appropriate one to obtain the Market Value, according to his experience, knowledge of it and conditions or particularities at the valuation date.

For further support, the Institution also regulates RICS companies. In this regard, Gloval Valuation is a RICS regulated company with registration number 043086, valid since 04/08/2015.
