For certain information, such as completed renovations or legal circumstances, we sometimes rely on your statements, provided they appear plausible.
If it later turns out that material information was deliberately false, this can undermine the basis of the appraisal report and lead to its rejection in court proceedings.
In the case of intentional deception of us, for example toward the tax authorities, the client faces additional independent tax or civil law consequences.
To limit this risk, for particularly value-relevant information, such as completed renovations or existing third-party rights, we specifically request supporting documents and evidence.
Clients are well advised to disclose all relevant documents completely and truthfully from the outset, as inconsistencies usually come to light during the further process anyway.
