Your questions about Aestim’s services

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

A standard property valuation is carried out for commercial purposes (to sell the property). In the event of a separation, it may be contested by one of the parties. The AESTIM valuation is an impartial assessment, priced on the basis of its impartiality. It provides a quantified, well-reasoned and legally sound basis, accepted by notaries, for calculating the amount of the cash adjustment.

2Is the AESTIM report accepted for the purpose of buying out my spouse’s share?

Absolutely. If you wish to keep the property and buy out your ex-spouse’s share, the bank will often ask you to take out a new loan. Financial institutions require an independent valuation report, such as one from AESTIM, to verify the value of the collateral before releasing the necessary funds.

3Do you handle divorce cases throughout Wallonia?

Yes, our well-established network covers the whole of Wallonia. Whether your property is located in Walloon Brabant, Liège, Namur, Hainaut or the Province of Luxembourg, we always assign the valuer with the best knowledge of your local market to ensure a perfectly accurate valuation.

4How are the costs of the property valuation shared amongst the co-owners?

As a general rule, the costs associated with a property valuation are shared equally amongst the various co-owners, as the report ensures a fair and equitable distribution for everyone. However, it is always possible to agree on a different financial arrangement with your solicitor or lawyer.
