Pre-Purchase & Investment Review
Independent Israeli Property Review Before You Buy or Invest
Considering buying property in Israel or investing in Israeli real estate?
An independent review by a licensed Israeli real estate appraiser can help you understand the property's market value, physical and legal characteristics, planning position and relevant market conditions before making a purchase or investment decision.
What Does a Pre-Purchase Review Help You Understand?
Before committing to a property, it is important to understand not only the asking price, but also the property itself and the factors that may affect its value.
Depending on the property and the scope of the assignment, our review may help you assess:
-
Whether the proposed price is consistent with market value
-
The property's location and market characteristics
-
Physical characteristics of the property
-
Registered ownership and property rights
-
Planning status and permitted uses
-
Existing and potential building rights
-
Comparable transactions
-
Current market conditions
-
Restrictions or other factors that may affect value
-
The appropriate valuation date
The scope of the review depends on the property, the transaction and the client's needs.
Buying an Apartment, House or Commercial Property?
A pre-purchase valuation can provide an independent professional reference point before you commit to a transaction.
The analysis may consider the property's size, condition, floor, access, parking, storage, location, planning status and other characteristics that may affect market value.
Where appropriate, comparable transactions are examined to establish an independent market value.
Investing in Land?
Land purchases can involve additional planning and valuation considerations.
Depending on the property, our review may examine matters such as:
-
Current planning status
-
Permitted uses
-
Building rights
-
Development potential
-
Existing rights and restrictions
-
Location and accessibility
-
Comparable land transactions
-
Market conditions
-
Factors that may affect the property's current or future value
Planning potential should not be treated as guaranteed future value. Any conclusions depend on the applicable planning framework and the specific characteristics of the property.
Before You Make an Investment Decision
An independent valuation can provide a professional financial reference point when comparing:
Asking Price vs. Market Value
This may help you and your professional advisers assess the transaction in context and identify questions that may require further legal, planning, tax or financial review.
Our role is to provide the real estate valuation and professional property analysis.
We do not provide legal, tax, engineering or investment advice.
For Buyers Living Abroad
Buying property in Israel from abroad can make independent local review particularly important.
We can work remotely with overseas buyers and their lawyers, accountants, tax advisers or other representatives.
Where appropriate, we can coordinate directly with your professional advisers and work from the documents and information available to us.
For Lawyers, Accountants & Other Professionals
We work with professional advisers who need an independent Israeli property assessment for their clients before a transaction or investment.
We can assist with:
-
Reviewing the value of a proposed purchase
-
Assessing land before acquisition
-
Reviewing an asking price
-
Providing an independent valuation for negotiations
-
Reviewing an existing appraisal
-
Understanding the hidden payments and levies
-
Reviewing the offer
-
Identifying valuation issues that may require further professional examination
You handle the legal, tax or financial aspects of the transaction. We provide the Israeli property valuation.
Already Have an Appraisal?
If a valuation or other professional report has already been prepared, we can review the available material as part of the assignment.
A previous appraisal may provide useful background information, but its relevance depends on its valuation date, purpose, assumptions and the property's current circumstances.
What We Need From You
To start, we generally need only basic information about the property and the purpose of the valuation.
You can contact us with:
-
Property address or location
-
Property type
-
Asking price or proposed purchase price
-
Purpose of the review
-
Any available property documents
-
Previous appraisal, if available
You can provide additional information about the transaction or your concerns when submitting the request.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the same as a building inspection?
No. A real estate appraisal focuses on value and relevant property characteristics. A building inspection is a separate professional service.
Can you tell me whether I should buy the property?
Our role is to provide an independent professional valuation and analysis of the property, whether you are considering renting or purchasing it. The final decision remains with the client and their professional advisers.
Can you assess whether the asking price is reasonable?
Yes. Where appropriate, the property's asking or proposed purchase price can be compared with its independently assessed market value and relevant market evidence.
Can you review land before I buy it?
Yes. Land can be reviewed with particular attention to its planning status, rights, permitted uses, development potential and market evidence, depending on the assignment.
Can you work with my lawyer or accountant?
Yes. We regularly work with professional advisers and can coordinate the valuation process with them.
Can you review a property remotely?
Yes. The process can often be managed remotely, particularly when the buyer or investor is located outside Israel.
