When you type “property valuation services in Malaysia” into Google, you’re likely seeking clarity —maybe you are a homeowner wondering how much your house is worth, a bank vetting collateral, or an organisation preparing financial statements.


At Raine & Horne, our goal is to deliver transparent, accurate, and trusted valuations across every property and asset. 


This guide helps you understand when you need a valuation, how it’s done, what it costs, and why engaging with registered valuation firms matters.

1. What is Property Valuation about?

Property valuation is the process of estimating the market value of a property. It involves land, houses, factories, shopping malls, purpose-built office buildings, development lands, and agricultural lands.

In Malaysia, such valuation services are typically carried out by qualified professionals registered with the Board of Valuers, Appraisers, Estate Agents and Property Managers Malaysia (BOVAEP). These professionals, or Registered Valuers, have access to the latest property transaction data and assess a range of relevant factors to determine a property’s market. Their findings are formally documented in a Valuation Report, which is then submitted to Clients, Bankers and Investors to assist them in making well-informed decisions related to the property.

2. Why Do You Need Property Valuation?

For Homeowners & Buyers

  • Buying or selling your home: Know the fair market value to negotiate effectively.d


  • Financing/Refinancing: Banks require an authenticated valuation to approve a loan.


  • Estate planning or inheritance: Accurate values are vital for fair distribution or stamp duty purposes.


  • Property insurance: Confirm the insured sum for replacement to ensure adequate coverage and premiums.


For Businesses & Corporations

  • Financial reporting (MFRS/IFRS): Fair value assessments as per MFRS 13 and IAS 40 (investment property).


  • Merger & Acquisition (M&A), IPO, or audits: Independent valuation is a must.


  • Litigation, compensation, and tax appeals: Valuation underpins damages, damage calculation, or market-value disputes.


  • Specialised assets: Property-associated plant & machinery, and bio-assets are all valued under niche methodologies.


2. Who Can Perform Property Valuation in Malaysia?

Only Registered Valuers under BOVAEP (Board of Valuers, Appraisers, Estate Agents and Property Managers Malaysia)—also referred to as LPEPH—can produce official valuation reports accepted by courts, banks, and government bodies. Always check the valuer’s registration number and validity using the official public registry under BOVAEP or LPEPH.

This ensures adherence to Malaysian Valuation Standards (MVS), including methodologies, ethics, and reporting protocols. Registered valuers also hold professional indemnity insurance for your protection.

3. How We Do It — Valuation Methods Explained

Aligned with MVS, here are the primary approaches we apply—each suited for different property types and purposes:

Each service follows relevant international standards (MVS, RICS, IFRS/MFRS, IVS) and is supported by our multidisciplinary team.

8. FAQs — Answering Common Questions

Q: How long is a valuation report valid?
 A: Typically 3 months, potentially extended with a desktop review—subject to market stability.

Q: Do I need a valuer for letters of offer or loan refinancing?
 A: Yes. Most financial institutions require a BOVAEP-registered valuation report.

Q: How is a leasehold different from a freehold valuation?
 A: For leasehold, residual tenure affects value—shorter leases reduce marketability.

Q: Does the valuer consider renovations?
 A: Yes—if completed with proper approval. Unauthorised works might not add value or could lead to rejection of the report.

Q: Is the valuation confidential?
 A: Absolutely—our reports are strictly confidential and distributed only to the client unless otherwise agreed.
