A serious property valuation is based on a site visit, a reading of the municipal regulations, an analysis of the local market and an understanding of the building. Immersia carries out expert valuations from La Tour-de-Peilz, on the Swiss Riviera, in the canton of Vaud and in Valais: income-producing buildings, villas, land, condominium units, inherited properties. More than forty valuations have been delivered to date, notably for inheritance transfers.
We do not only calculate what your property is worth as it stands: we indicate what it could be worth after renovation, densification, subdivision or change of use.
Online valuation or expert property valuation
Online tools compare your property with similar transactions on the basis of a few criteria. They do not see easements, remaining building rights, the actual condition of the roof and heating, the quality of the leases or the works required by energy legislation. These factors shift the value significantly, especially for a plot of land or a building to be converted.
What an Immersia property valuation includes
- Site visit by Eric Bilard, USPI-qualified broker, with our construction manager or our architect if necessary.
- Analysis at three levels: regional market, municipality and neighbourhood, property.
- Methods suited to the property: income value, intrinsic value, comparison, discounted cash flow for buildings.
- Current value and value after enhancement, with the costs and timescales of each scenario.
- Confidential written report and presentation meeting.
When to request a property valuation
Before a sale or a purchase, for an inheritance, a division of assets or a divorce, for financing, before major works or to decide between keeping, renovating and selling within a portfolio.

- On-the-ground knowledge of the Riviera, the canton of Vaud and Valais, including second homes and Lex Koller.
Frequently asked questions about property valuation
How much does a property valuation cost?
The first meeting and the preliminary analysis are free of charge. The fees for a written valuation depend on the type of property and the depth of analysis; you receive a proposal before any commitment.
What is the difference between a valuation and a value-enhancement analysis?
A valuation gives the market value as it stands. A value-enhancement analysis costs the scenarios (renovate, add a storey, subdivide, densify) and the resulting value.
Which documents should I prepare?
Land register extract, plans, rent roll and leases, service charge statements, building insurance policy, energy certificate (CECB) if available.
