Frequently Asked Questions

1What does RICS and ASA qualified mean?
RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) and ASA (American Society of Appraisers) are internationally recognised professional bodies. Our team’s qualifications ensure that your valuation is conducted to the highest global standards, providing credibility and acceptance with banks, auditors, and regulatory authorities.
2How long does the plant and machinery valuation process typically take?
The turnaround time depends on the size and complexity of your asset portfolio. However, most valuations are completed within 5 to 15 working days from the initial site inspection. We always strive to deliver reports promptly while maintaining the highest standards of accuracy and compliance. Large, complex assignments with multiple sites and/or large asset base require more time from start to finish.
3How much does a plant and machinery valuation cost?
The cost of a valuation depends on several factors, including the number and type of assets, their location, and the complexity of the assignment. At Cavendish Maxwell, we provide tailored quotations based on your specific requirements, ensuring transparency and value for money. Please contact us with details of your assets, and our team will be happy to provide a customised proposal.
4What information do I need to provide for a plant and machinery valuation?
To begin the valuation process, we typically require an asset register, purchase details, maintenance records, and access to the site for inspection. Our team will guide you through the requirements to ensure a smooth and efficient process.
