Valuer in Utrecht
What is a valuation?
What is my (new) home worth? And how is that value determined? All sorts of questions can come up when you approach a valuer in Utrecht. We're happy to tell you more!
Market value
A valuer in Utrecht determines the objective value of a home. A valuation report is an official document with a summary and a substantiation of what your home is worth. The market value is the estimated amount someone is willing to pay for your home, and for which you, as a willing seller, want to sell it, without any compulsion. A valuation is something different from an indicative value assessment.

If you need a mortgage loan from a financial institution, in most cases you will be asked for a valuation report, and often for a validated one. This can be an NWWI (Netherlands Home Value Institute) report. These reports are drawn up by a valuer in Utrecht, the value is backed up with comparables, and a third party checks the value given for the property.
Valuing in Utrecht is a craft of its own. The market changes at lightning speed, so make sure you choose a valuer who knows the market well. Ideally, a valuer from the city itself.
