Formal Aspects
A good appraisal report should be transparent and comprehensible. The determnation of the value drivers should be well-documented and referenced, so that an expert reader may be able to quickly assess the report's quality.
Most appraisal reports are structured as follows:
- Introduction, date of valuation, customer and purpose of the valuation;
- Documentation of land register and other legal factors;
- Description of land and improvements;
- Analysis of the market situation and rental contracts;
- Documentation of the determination of value drivers;
- Calculation and value statement;
- Appendix with photo documentation.

Famous quotes containing the words formal and/or aspects:
“This is no argument against teaching manners to the young. On the contrary, it is a fine old tradition that ought to be resurrected from its current mothballs and put to work...In fact, children are much more comfortable when they know the guide rules for handling the social amenities. It’s no more fun for a child to be introduced to a strange adult and have no idea what to say or do than it is for a grownup to go to a formal dinner and have no idea what fork to use.”
—Leontine Young (20th century)
“The power of a text is different when it is read from when it is copied out.... Only the copied text thus commands the soul of him who is occupied with it, whereas the mere reader never discovers the new aspects of his inner self that are opened by the text, that road cut through the interior jungle forever closing behind it: because the reader follows the movement of his mind in the free flight of day-dreaming, whereas the copier submits it to command.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
