# Home valuation in Rotterdam: the basics

Home valuation in Rotterdam explained: purpose, investigation, report and the questions to ask before you begin.

## What is a home valuation?

A home valuation is an investigation into the value of a property for a stated purpose and valuation date. The valuer considers the property, its location and relevant market information. The result is set out in a valuation report with reasoning that fits the assignment.

### The purpose shapes the process

A mortgage, sale, division, inheritance or objection may involve different requirements. Write down who needs the report, what it will be used for and which date matters. Then read the [Rotterdam home valuation steps](/en/home-valuation-rotterdam-steps/) and the guide to a [valuation report](/en/valuation-report/).

### Questions to ask first

- Which report format is required?
- Which documents and property details should I provide?
- Which valuation date and delivery date apply?
- Which costs are included?
- What conditions does my lender or authority set?

The guides help you organise the terms. Confirm formal requirements with the party requesting the report.
