Valuation Report Review Services
A valuation report review helps an intended user understand whether the purpose, scope, evidence, methodology, assumptions, calculations and conclusion are internally consistent and appropriately explained. We define the review type, depth and criteria before starting, then document findings and limitations separately from the original valuation report.
A defined review independent from the original report
Established in 2017, Taqdeer's team brings more than 25 years of combined experience across valuation, real estate and industrial sectors. Each engagement starts by defining the intended users, purpose, review type, available materials and limits of the conclusion.
Independence and competence
Confirm the appropriate branch, competence and conflicts before accepting the report and starting the review.
Actionable findings
Classify findings and explain missing evidence, inconsistencies, clarification needs and suggested corrective action.
Scope of valuation report review
- Check that purpose, intended users, effective date, basis of value and scope of work are clear.
- Review consistency between asset and ownership information, evidence, the report and appendices.
- Assess the suitability of selected approaches and methods and the treatment of material alternatives.
- Examine assumptions, limitations, analyses, calculations, adjustments and reasonableness checks.
- Check internal consistency between narrative, tables, appendices and the conclusion.
- Classify findings by significance and provide a conclusion within the agreed review scope.
Report and asset types
Reports are accepted after confirming suitable competence, independence and sufficient supporting material for the asset and required review depth.
- Valuations of land, buildings, income-producing property and development projects.
- Valuations of machinery, equipment, production lines and movable assets.
- Single-asset, portfolio and multi-site reports.

Frequently asked questions
Is a report review the same as valuing the asset again?
No. A review examines an existing report within a defined scope and does not automatically produce a new opinion of value. If the client requires an independent value, a separate valuation engagement is agreed after acceptance and independence checks.
Can Taqdeer review a report issued by another firm?
Yes, where the asset type falls within the team's competence and licensed branch, no conflict exists, and sufficient information is available. The engagement states whether communication with the original valuer is permitted.
Does the review require an asset inspection?
Not every review needs an inspection. It may be desktop-based or include field verification where necessary for its purpose. This is agreed in advance, and any effect of not inspecting is stated as a limitation.
Will Taqdeer replace the value if an error is found?
The review identifies the issue and its potential effect and may seek clarification or correction within scope. It does not replace the conclusion with a new number unless the engagement permits an appropriate quantitative review conclusion or a separate independent valuation.
Is report information kept confidential?
Documents are handled under the engagement terms, applicable confidentiality requirements and relevant policies, and used only for the stated purpose and parties. The client should identify any additional restrictions before transmitting information.
