Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about commissioning a RICS valuation in Morocco — fees, process, remote work, what the report contains, IFRS 13, and more.
Pricing
How much does a property valuation cost in Morocco in 2026?
Fees range from MAD 3,500 excl. VAT for a standard apartment to 15,000 MAD for complex commercial or industrial assets.
Full answer →When do you not need a formal valuation?
When the decision does not turn on an exact figure, or when the amount at stake is smaller than the cost of the report. An opinion of value is often enough.
Full answer →Process
How do I choose a property appraiser in Morocco?
Verify RICS regulation, market-specific experience (5+ years on your city), independence, and request a sample report.
Full answer →What's the difference between a valuation and an estimate?
An estimate is a commercial, subjective, non-binding opinion — typically free from a real estate agency.
Full answer →What is the typical turnaround time for a valuation report?
Standard reports: 5-8 business days from site visit. Rush 48-hour service available (+30-50% fee).
Full answer →In which languages do you deliver reports?
French and English are standard, delivered as separate documents or bilingual single document.
Full answer →What documents do you need to value my property?
Title deed (Titre Foncier), cadastral plan, building permit (if applicable), floor plans, lease contracts (for income-producing assets), and any technical
Full answer →Can I reach the appraiser during the assignment?
Yes. A single named contact appears on the quote, reachable by WhatsApp, phone or email, with a reply within 24 working hours.
Full answer →Can a property be valued without a site visit?
Technically yes, but it is a different product: a desktop opinion of value based on documents and comparables, with the property's condition taken as declared.
Full answer →How do I check that an appraiser is independent?
Four checks: no sale mandate or commission on the property, fixed fees never indexed to value, a conflict-of-interest disclosure opening the report, and dated, sourced comparables.
Full answer →Why do some valuations take several weeks?
Our own work takes 5 to 8 working days. Longer timelines are almost always external: obtaining administrative documents, access to the property, or agreeing a visit date.
Full answer →Can I see a sample report before ordering?
Yes, an anonymised extract is provided on request, before any commitment. A full valuation report runs 30 to 80 pages depending on complexity.
Full answer →An estate division blocked for years: what can a valuation do?
Most deadlocks are about value, not law. A documented figure each heir can check line by line is often what makes balancing payments possible and reopens the discussion.
Full answer →Can you check the quality and compliance of a contractor's work?
Yes. A contradictory inspection compares what was built against the drawings, permit and contract, and produces a priced schedule of defects. It is not a statutory structural inspection.
Full answer →Legal
Can I use your report in a dispute?
A privately commissioned report documents your position and supports an amicable settlement. In litigation, it is the judge who appoints the expert — a private report never substitutes for that appointment.
Full answer →Are property appraisers licensed or sworn in Morocco?
There is no state licence for property valuation in Morocco and the title of appraiser is not protected. What can be verified is individual RICS certification.
Full answer →Administrative
What are your payment terms?
