Evidence before opinion.
When a valuation has to satisfy a lender, a solicitor, the Revenue Commissioners or a court, the figure on its own is not enough. You need to know where it came from. JWL has been valuing property across the greater Dublin area and Leinster for more than ten years, and every valuation we issue is built on real comparable evidence, current market conditions and the expert judgement that comes from knowing these areas well.
Three things, in every valuation we issue.
More than ten years valuing property across Dublin and Leinster. We know how a particular road or estate actually trades, rather than what an online estimate or index suggests.
A figure grounded in the market as it stands: recent sales of comparable properties, current conditions, and the particular qualities of the property itself.
Professional qualifications and recognised valuation standards behind the report, so it is accepted by the lender, solicitor or authority who has to rely on it.
That is what we mean by evidence before opinion.
An independent market valuation of your home or investment property, backed by comparable sales evidence you can see. The starting point for most decisions involving property.
Property valuation →Lender-format valuation reports prepared to the standards banks and credit unions require, so your loan or drawdown is not the thing holding up the transaction.
Bank & credit union valuation →If your property has risen in value, an up-to-date valuation may move your mortgage into a lower LTV rate band. Several of the main lenders have a formal process for it, and the valuation is usually the only thing standing in the way.
LTV valuation →Tell us about the property and what the valuation is for. The purpose shapes the report, so we ask up front. Call, email, or use the form.
We arrange a time that suits and inspect the property in person.
We assemble the comparable evidence (recent sales of genuinely similar properties in the area), and apply professional valuation practice and experience to reach a figure.
Issued in the format the receiving party requires: to you, or directly to your lender, solicitor or the relevant authority, whichever suits.
JWL was founded on a straightforward conviction: that a valuation should be able to withstand any amount of scrutiny, because the evidence behind it is there to see and the reasoning is transparent. Our valuers have been working the Dublin and Leinster market for over ten years, and the practice is led by Shane Cooke, MIPAV REV RESI MMCEPI.
Every valuation is carried out by a qualified valuer who inspects the property, prepares the report and signs it. If you want to understand how a figure was arrived at, you can ask the person who arrived at it.
More about JWL →We cover the greater Dublin area in full: Dublin city, north Dublin and Fingal, south Dublin and Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown, and west Dublin. We also cover Kildare, Wicklow, Meath, Louth, Carlow, Kilkenny, Laois, Longford, Offaly, Westmeath and Wexford.
Local knowledge counts for a lot in this work. Two similar houses a mile apart can be worth quite different amounts, and knowing an area well makes that difference easier to read.
