The value of the building
Market value of a whole building or of a single unit, income and comparison approaches, taking account of the tenancy schedule, floor areas and works to plan.
Property valuation →Apartment building and co-ownership survey
The value of an investment building and the condition of its common parts, examined by an independent expert
A building is read both as a structure and as an asset. Its value depends on its condition, floor areas, leases and market; its defects often affect several owners at once.
DEKTA Expertises works for owners, investors, property holding companies (SCI), co-owners and managing agents (syndics), in Avignon, the Vaucluse and the Bouches-du-Rhône.
Two complementary readings of a building
The condition of the building
Façade cracks, leaks through the roof or a terrace, damp cellars, defects in floors and stairwells: probable causes and next steps.
Building defects →Rents
Rental value of the flats, shops and offices in the building, to set, review or renew a rent.
Commercial property →When should you call on us?
Buying an investment building
To compare the asking price with a reasoned value and spot the defects that will weigh on the works.
Estate, gift, transfer to a company
To establish a documented value of the building or units, at the chosen date.
Defects in common parts
To obtain an independent technical opinion on a façade crack, a leak or rising damp.
Disputes between neighbours or co-owners
To establish objectively the probable origin of a defect affecting several units or a neighbouring building.
Asset management
To track the value of a building over time or prepare a decision between keeping, renovating or selling.
How does the work proceed?
Reviewing the file
Title deeds, tenancy schedule, leases, plans, minutes of general meetings, diagnostics, previous reports: we examine the documents relevant to the work.
The visit
Common parts and accessible units, façades, roof where access allows, cellars and visible networks. A drone inspection can complete the examination of inaccessible areas.
The analysis
Value using recognised methods, in line with the Charter of Property Valuation Expertise; for defects, compatible technical hypotheses and any further investigations.
The report
A reasoned, illustrated report, with a certified photographic record, that you can present to the people you deal with.
Photographic evidence
Certified photographic evidence with Proov-it
Our findings come with a photographic record made using the Proov-it® process: dated, geolocated, secured and certified photographs.
For a building, this dated record of the condition of the common parts is useful to all the co-owners.
Discover Proov-it →Frequently asked questions
Who can request a survey of a co-owned building?
The managing agent (syndic), the co-owners’ council or a co-owner for their own needs. The work and its scope (common parts, units, value) are defined with the client before the visit.
Do you value a whole building or a single unit?
Both. Valuing a whole building takes account of its tenancy schedule and yield; valuing a unit relies mainly on comparable market evidence.
Do you work in Marseille and Aix-en-Provence?
Yes. Our experts work in the Vaucluse, the Bouches-du-Rhône and the Gard, as well as in neighbouring départements depending on the work.
