Liffran Firm, for Certified Real Estate Appraisal

The real estate expert is an independent and qualified professional responsible for evaluating the market or rental value of a property, whether residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, or specific (hotel, clinic, etc.). We intervene in amicable or judicial contexts for individuals and professionals: divorce, inheritance, donation, tax audit…

Its role is to provide an objective, reasoned, and documented estimate, based on recognized methods.

To do this, it must analyze the property, its occupancy, legal, and urban planning situation, and apply the most appropriate appraisal method:
Comparative method, income capitalization method, replacement cost method, hotel method, etc.

Many clients frequently commission us to establish indisputable property values.

Our reports are issued in accordance with the current appraisal charter and even exceed usual recommendations. Our adversarial amicable appraisal reports, established by an accredited expert, are enforceable and admissible in court.

Skills and Methodology

The real estate expert must master urban planning and co-ownership law; tax and patrimonial regulations; the analysis of national and local real estate markets; the reading of land, mortgage, and cadastral documents. Its report must be rigorous, traceable, and verifiable, and must include, after analysis, the legal analysis of the property, the examination of real rights and encumbrances affecting the building, the study of relevant market comparisons, and a determination of value with quantified and reasoned justification.

The Judicial Real Estate Expert

AN INDISPENSABLE LEGAL ASSISTANT

The real estate expert may submit an application to be registered on a regional list (Court of Appeal) or, after 5 years with the Court of Appeal, on the national list (Court of Cassation).

A commission will rule on their application, and if accepted, after selection, they will take an oath.

In this capacity, they become a judicial real estate expert, an independent legal assistant placed under the judge’s control.

Their mission will be to enlighten the magistrate and, under their control, submit a neutral and objective report to the court, providing the technical, economic, and legal elements necessary for resolving a dispute, while respecting the two major principles of law: the principle of party control (the proceedings are managed by the parties) and the principle of due process (no one can be judged without being heard).

This latter principle is ESSENTIAL in conducting appraisal operations and guarantees the neutrality of the expert and their report.

The intervention contexts are the same as for amicable appraisals, and in compliance with the adversarial principle, the judicial expert must summon the parties and organize appraisal meetings (ACCEDIT), generally prepare a preliminary report, then gather and analyze the parties’ statements, and once this is done, submit their report to the court.

The judicial expert is neutral; they do not judge, but they enlighten the judge: their testimony has strong probative value, without binding the court.

Purpose

The real estate expert, and even more so the judicial expert, is a key player in the legal and economic security of real estate transactions. Their independence, methodological rigor, and in-depth knowledge of local markets guarantee an impartial appraisal, securing transactions, judicial decisions, and patrimonial projects.

Having an appraisal conducted by a registered expert has a cost, but it guarantees the reliability of the signed document.

The Due Diligence of Liffran Firm

The appraisal report is the result of many hours of work on-site and primarily in the office; it will include: - Site visit and potentially a visit report - Appearance of the applicant(s) - Designation of properties to be appraised - The analytical table of habitable and usable areas - A detailed description of the property and its environment - An analysis of property titles with archive reconstruction if necessary - A detailed analysis of the mortgage status - A detailed analysis of urban planning regulations - A detailed analysis of risks - The valuation itself, carried out in accordance with the latest appraisal charter in force. An appraisal report itself comprises a minimum of 40 pages and will be supplemented by the appendices used to compile the aforementioned report. The report and appendices will comprise a minimum of 130 pages.

Fees and billing

The remuneration of the judicial or amicable expert is freely determined. In 2019, the First President of the Nîmes Court of Appeal decided to regulate the hourly fees of registered experts. Thus, since 2019, experts must position themselves between €90 excl. VAT/hour and €140 excl. VAT/hour, depending on their seniority and qualifications. With a Master 2 degree in law and several hundred cases handled over nearly 20 years, the LIFFRAN firm applies the average rate for such cases of €110 excl. VAT/hour of work performed and invoices disbursements (travel expenses, postal or chancery fees) at actual cost. A simple case cannot, seriously, be conducted (including travel and visits) in less than 25 flat-rate hours. CAUTION: the real estate expert issues an appraisal report which cannot under any circumstances be equated with a simple valuation opinion. FOR ANY VALUATION OPINION, PLEASE CONTACT A REAL ESTATE AGENT
