A valuation format will vary depending on the clients requirements which could be for either;
- general sale or pre-purchase
- due diligence when buying a business
- finance
- insurance loss, repair or replacement
- refurbishment
- modification
- change of operational use
- taxation and customs
- insolvency matters
- asset recovery

Providing a valuation normally requires sighting the aircraft and obtaining confirmation of the current technical status of the aircraft. In some cases and at our discretion it is not necessary for us personally inspect the aircraft, instead we may be able to complete the valuation based only on photos and specifications supplied by the client.

All valuations are charged based on time accrued plus any travel costs however for most mainstream aircraft types we are able to provide clients an accurate estimate of costs prior. In many cases we are able to share travel costs with another clients requirements in the same region.

All Valuations are supplied in a comprehensive written document, feel free to ask us to provide a document sample
