What is the difference between a property valuation and a condition report?

A property valuation (verditakst) establishes the market value. A building condition report (tilstandsrapport) describes the technical condition under the Norwegian regulations on safer property sales. When selling, you need a condition report. For inheritance or divorce, you need a valuation.

How long does it take to receive a valuation?

The survey typically takes one to two hours. You receive the completed valuation document within two working days.

Will my bank accept a valuation from CR Takst?

Yes. The valuation is carried out by a certified surveyor and member of Norsk Takst. Most Norwegian banks accept valuations from surveyors with this certification.

Can all parties use the same valuation in an inheritance settlement?

When do you need a property valuation?

Inheritance settlement — All heirs need a fair valuation. A professional assessment provides a shared starting point.
Divorce — The property is often the largest asset. A neutral valuation simplifies the division.
Refinancing — Banks require documentation of the property's value to assess lending and security.
Tax assessment — The Norwegian tax authorities may request documentation if you believe the assessed value is too high.

What is assessed in a property valuation?

The surveyor evaluates the property's location, size, standard, age and maintenance condition. The property is also compared with recent sales of comparable properties in the area.

The result is a valuation document stating market value, technical value and land value. The document explains the basis for the valuation.

Objective and professionally grounded assessment

The valuation from CR Takst is based on professional judgement, thorough inspection and comparable sales in the area. You receive a valuation that reflects the property's true market value.
