NEED TO KNOW
Aircraft valuation is akin to aircraft maintenance and flight operations - there are no short cuts. The task is normally undertaken by a regulated industry professional with years of training and industry experience.
Always consider the following when comparing valuation fee estimates and service providers.
1. Free / ball-park valuations: Anyone offering this level of service will most likely be in name only and be completely unregulated. Commercially this is senseless and unrealistic. Professional valuation credentials have high barriers to entry, compliance is costly, and all valuation work carries risk.
2. Valuations by sales organisations: An obvious conflict of interest and as such is not permitted by industry regulators, where valuation practitioners are required to have strict independence from any sales activities and commission incentives.
3. Valuations report scope: The definition of a "valuation report" can be very ambiguous. Always request to see a sample of the practitioners standard report to confirm the scope of information included, the follow-up that is provisioned, and any excluded liabilities.
4. Desktop vs. full inspection: Always ensure that a desktop option will satisfy the terms and compliance of any third party, especially lenders and insurers.
