Historic and Retrospective Property Valuations

Independent Backdated Valuation Reports by BV Real Estate

A historic or retrospective valuation is an assessment of property value as at a specific date in the past. These valuations are often required for legal, tax, estate and corporate purposes where an accurate past valuation is essential. BV Real Estate provides independent and evidence based retrospective valuation reports for clients across Ireland.

What Is a Historic or Retrospective Valuation

A retrospective valuation determines the market value of a property at a defined point in the past.
Typical valuation dates include:

• The date of a historic transaction
• The date of death for probate
• The date of transfer for tax or stamp duty purposes
• A date required by Revenue or accounting teams
• A date associated with a shareholder dispute or buyout
• A valuation date for financial statements or audits
• A past date required for legal proceedings

Why Clients Need Retrospective Valuations

Historic valuations are used to:

• Support probate and inheritance reporting
• Provide Revenue with accurate tax calculations
• Assist solicitors in litigation or dispute resolution
• Support company accountants during audits or restated accounts
• Provide clarity for divorce or family law matters
• Establish fair value for past shareholder agreements or buyouts
• Assist with compulsory purchase compensation claims
• Review earlier business or property decisions

An accurate backdated valuation must reflect the market conditions that existed at that specific time, not today’s market.
