An impartial report to avoid disputes when dividing assets

In the context of a divorce, emotional attachment often distorts the valuation of a property. The involvement of an independent third party is the only way to reassure all parties. Our experts in Brussels draw up a detailed report determining the exact market value of your house or flat.

If your joint assets include investments, we also carry out valuations of investment properties, retail premises and offices.

A methodology recognised by notaries and banks

Our valuation report is not simply an estate agent’s valuation: it is a legal and financial document. It is essential for your solicitor to draw up the deed of liquidation and partition.

In-depth knowledge of the Brussels market and complete independence

The Brussels property market is extremely fragmented: values vary from one municipality to another, and even from one street to another. AESTIM guarantees that the valuer assigned to your case will have in-depth knowledge of your neighbourhood, whether it be Ixelles, Uccle, Schaerbeek or Jette. Our reports are produced entirely independently and, for a standard property, are usually delivered within three working days of the viewing.

Your questions about Aestim’s services

1Why is an estate agent’s valuation not sufficient for a divorce?

An estate agent’s valuation is often sales-oriented and may be perceived as biased if requested by only one of the spouses. An AESTIM valuation is neutral, objective and paid for its impartiality. It provides a legal and quantified basis, accepted by notaries and solicitors, for calculating the exact amount of the cash adjustment.

2Is the AESTIM report valid for buying out my ex-spouse’s share?

Yes, exactly. If you wish to keep the house and buy out your former partner’s share (the cash adjustment), you will often need to take out a new mortgage. Banks will require an independent valuation report, such as one provided by AESTIM, to verify the property’s value before granting you this financing.

3Do you handle cases involving joint ownership throughout Brussels?

Absolutely. The AESTIM network operates across all 19 municipalities in the Brussels-Capital Region. Whether your property is located in Uccle, Woluwe, Anderlecht or Brussels City, we always select the valuer with the best knowledge of your local market to ensure a valuation of the utmost accuracy.

4Who pays the costs of the valuation in the event of a separation?

In the context of a divorce or the dissolution of joint ownership, the costs of the valuation are generally shared equally between the co-owners, as the report serves the interests of both parties by ensuring a fair division of assets. However, it is always possible for you to agree on a different arrangement.
