Valuation glossary

Value has
a precise meaning.

Every valuation report should identify its basis of value, purpose, valuation date and material assumptions. Terms originating in legislation, insurance contracts or accounting standards apply within their respective framework.

01
IVS-defined basis

Market Value

The estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and willing seller, in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing, with the parties acting knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.

02
Entity-specific basis

Investment Value / Worth

The value of an asset to a particular owner or prospective owner for individual investment or operational objectives. It may therefore differ from Market Value.

03
IVS-defined basis

Market Rent

The estimated amount for which an interest in real property should be leased on the valuation date between a willing lessor and willing lessee on appropriate lease terms, after proper marketing and without compulsion.

04
IFRS 13

Fair Value

For financial reporting, the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

05
Policy-specific concept

Insurable Value

An amount determined under the insurance contract and applicable framework, commonly related to reinstatement or replacement cost and any expressly covered associated costs.

06
Value to a special purchaser

Special Value

An additional amount arising from characteristics that are of value only to a special purchaser, for example through adjacency, synergy or a unique operational use.

07
IAS 36

Value in Use

The present value of future cash flows an entity expects from continuing use of an asset or cash-generating unit and from its ultimate disposal. It is entity-specific, not market value.

08
Statutory context

Compulsory Acquisition

The mandatory acquisition of property for public benefit with compensation determined under the applicable constitution and legislation. The statutory basis, date and assumptions govern the valuation.

09
Greek administrative value

Objective Tax Value

A taxable value calculated under the Greek objective-value system using zones, coefficients and statutory rules. It does not necessarily equal Market Value.
