Your questions about Aestim’s services

1Why have a property valued in the context of an inheritance in Wallonia?

The valuation determines the market value of the house, which will form the basis for the Walloon Region’s calculation of inheritance tax. Using AESTIM ensures a fair division of the estate amongst the heirs, prevents family disputes and protects you against any risk of a tax reassessment in the event of the property being undervalued.

2Does the Walloon tax authority accept the AESTIM report?

Yes. Our valuations are based on a rigorous and well-documented methodology that complies with the requirements of the tax authorities (SPW Finances). Should you be asked to provide information or be subject to an audit, our independent valuation report serves as the best evidence to substantiate the declared value of your property.

3Do you handle probate cases throughout Wallonia?

Absolutely. The AESTIM network covers the whole of Wallonia. Whether your property is located in Walloon Brabant, the Province of Liège, Namur, Hainaut or Luxembourg, we always assign the valuer with the best knowledge of your local property market.

4How long does it take to obtain the valuation report for my solicitor?

We are aware that the deadlines for submitting an estate declaration are strict. For a standard residential valuation, the report is usually issued within 3 working days of the property visit, provided that all the necessary documents have been supplied to the valuer.
