Legal and Regulatory Framework for Property Valuation in Kenya
In Kenya, property valuation auction must adhere to specific legal and professional standards. The Valuers Act, Cap 582, mandates that valuations are conducted by registered and licensed valuers. These professionals are bound by a code of ethics and must follow established valuation standards set by the International Valuation Standards Council (IVS) and local professional bodies like the Institution of Surveyors of Kenya (ISK). For auctions, valuations are particularly critical in ensuring that properties are offered at fair market value, a principle often reinforced by court orders in cases of execution or insolvency. Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd employs only fully accredited valuers who are conversant with the legal requirements for auction sales, ensuring that all valuations are legally defensible and meet the stringent demands of the Kenyan judiciary and financial institutions.
