Six reasons people commission a commercial appraisal in Ontario.
Each engagement type has its own timeline, methodology emphasis, and deliverable format. Here is what to expect.
Refinance
Your credit facility is up for renewal. The lender requires a current CUSPAP-compliant valuation of the underlying commercial asset before extending or restructuring the loan. The 15-day window between term sheet and funding close is non-negotiable.
Request an appraisalAudit / IFRS
Your REIT or pension fund holds Ontario commercial real estate on the balance sheet. IFRS 13 requires fair-value measurement at each reporting date. Your auditor needs an independent valuation from a designated practitioner - not an internal estimate.
Request an appraisalLitigation
A partnership dispute, expropriation challenge, or matrimonial proceeding requires an independent commercial valuation. The report must withstand cross-examination. The signing practitioner must be available as an expert witness.
Request an appraisalEstate
An estate includes commercial real property. CRA requires a fair market value determination at date of death for the terminal return. The executor needs a defensible valuation that satisfies both the tax authority and the beneficiaries.
Request an appraisalSale support
You are listing a commercial property or making an acquisition offer. An independent AACI valuation provides the market-evidence basis for your pricing decision - defensible to your board, your investors, or your counterparty.
Request an appraisalDistressed disposition
A receivership, power of sale, or workout requires a current valuation reflecting distressed-market conditions. Stale comparables from 18 months ago do not reflect today. The practitioner sources current transaction evidence and adjusts for market dislocation.
