Transaction valuation
When buying or selling real estate, an objective, neutral, and market-based valuation is essential. IAZI offers the necessary expertise and has experts across Switzerland who can professionally determine the current market value of your property. Our services include the valuation of residential and commercial properties, condominiums, single-family houses, land, and special-purpose properties. The valuation encompasses the following:
- Property inspection
- Site information and assessment of the location’s quality
- Evaluation of the property’s building quality and condition
- Assessment of legal and contractual conditions (e.g., land registry and rental agreements)
- Estimation of the rental potential (market/building analysis) as well as operating and maintenance costs
- Investment plan over a 10-year period
- Determination of the market-based nominal and real discount rates, including explanations of applied premiums and discounts
Income-producing and special-purpose properties are typically valued using the DCF (Discounted Cash Flow) method. For residential properties (condominiums) and single-family homes, the hedonic valuation model (comparative value method) is recommended.
As a Swiss real estate consulting firm, IAZI values properties in accordance with both Swiss and international valuation and accounting standards. IAZI experts provide valuations compliant with audit requirements for individual properties or entire portfolios.

Methods
The cost approach is based on the premise that a buyer would not pay more for a property than he would have to pay for the land and the construction of the building. Accordingly, this value is made up of two components: the land value and the current value of the building.
Generally speaking, this method can be applied to any type of real estate and is therefore particularly suitable for valuing properties that do not generate any income.
The DCF approach assumes that a property should be valued primarily on the basis of its potential to generate income. To achieve this, forecasts are made for the property’s future earnings and expenses, and a risk-adjusted discount rate is determined. The market value is the sum of the future cash flows (net cash flows) discounted to the valuation date.
The residual value method is primarily used to determine land values. Simply put, the following formula is applied:
Residual Value (Land Value) = Market value upon completion – total investment costs
