International Valuation Standards (IVS)

The International Valuation Standards, or IVS, are the global rules that guide how professional valuations are carried out and reported. Published by the International Valuation Standards Council, IVS makes sure that valuations are consistent, transparent, and trusted across different countries and markets.

Our company, Property Valuation Lebanon, and our appraisers work strictly in line with IVS requirements. Every valuation we prepare is checked against these standards, so our clients know that the figures are not only accurate but also accepted worldwide.

IVS sets out how the main valuation approaches — the market approach, the income approach, and the cost approach — should be applied. We use these methods carefully, always supported by research and local market evidence, to produce valuations that hold up to scrutiny.

This is especially important for clients involved in international transactions or disputes where impartial and standardized valuations are essential. By working with our company, you are choosing an appraisal team that delivers IVS-compliant property valuations suitable for banks, courts, investors, and regulators both in Australia, USA, UK and overseas.

In practice, IVS works hand in hand with RICS standards. By combining both, we give our clients a level of certainty that few firms can match. Our goal is simple — to provide valuations that are clear, independent, and fully aligned with global best practice.
