Storage-specific evidence

Generalist appraisers often borrow rents, expenses and cap rates from other property types. We test every assumption against our own self storage data from every province.

Confidential by default. We protect the privacy of every client and every matter we work on.

Common questions.

Do you check for conflicts of interest?

Yes. We check for conflicts of interest before accepting any litigation or review engagement.

Can you value a facility as of a past date?

Yes. We prepare retrospective market value appraisals as of the date that matters, as well as current values.

Can you review another appraiser's report?

Yes. We prepare review reports on other appraisers' self storage work for lenders, investors and counsel, testing the rents, expenses and cap rates against our own self storage data.

Where do you work?

In every province, from offices in Victoria, Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto and Montreal.
