With our signature, we assume full personal responsibility for the accuracy and traceability of the findings made in the appraisal report.
Our round seal as a publicly appointed and sworn valuer additionally indicates the exact scope of appointment as well as the responsible appointing chamber.
Without these formal components, an appraisal report often lacks the necessary traceability of authorship, which can lead to queries, particularly from courts or tax authorities.
For appraisal reports created and transmitted purely digitally, a qualified electronic signature often takes the place of the traditional seal, having comparable legal effect.
If both a signature and a valid electronic signature are missing, the authenticity and authorship of the document can be difficult to prove in the event of a dispute.
