Free Home Valuation Needs Questionnaire Template | FormLM

Before a valuation visit, record the property snapshot, purpose, urgency, known comparables and report users — the appointment opens with facts on the table.

~10 min questionnaire

Quick answer

Send it ahead of a valuation appointment: a property snapshot, the valuation purpose and urgency, known comparables and who will read the report are noted, so the visit opens with facts rather than guesses. It frames the scope of the engagement — it is not the valuation itself and carries no price opinion.

Disclaimer: this questionnaire scopes a valuation engagement; the valuation itself is issued separately by a qualified professional.

Scoping blocks follow standard engagement questionnaires used by valuation practices.

About this template

Valuations diverge on scope as much as on market: sale pricing needs different evidence than probate, refinancing or a tax split. This questionnaire settles the scope first — why the valuation is needed, for whom the report is, the deadline, the property snapshot and the comparable sales the owner already believes in. The valuer arrives with the right lens, and owners learn the discipline of showing their evidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why scope a valuation before quoting one?
Because scope decides the work: a market-opinion email and a report an executor can file are different jobs — scoping first prices and answers honestly.
Do owners really supply comparable sales?
Many already stalk them; writing them down lets the valuer address the disagreement directly instead of quietly overruling it.
Is the purpose field optional?
It is the least optional one — it decides format, evidence standard and deadlines. Curiosity is a valid entry.
Can this route to the right specialist?
Yes — mortgage, probate and tax valuations diverge; the purpose answer routes the engagement accordingly.
What if the deadline is unrealistic?
The consequences field in the questionnaire gives the professional the context to renegotiate the ask, not silently fail the date.
How is this different from the pre-sale value self-check?
The self-check estimates; this one briefs a professional engagement. Some owners run both — self-check shapes expectations first.
