The Comparables Database is a crucial component of InterVal, allowing users to store, manage, and access a wide range of property data for various valuation projects. By maintaining a comprehensive database of comparables, valuers can streamline their work, ensure consistency, and make well-informed decisions based on relevant market data.
Review the numbered labels on the screenshots below and read the associated text to learn more about the different features on this page.
InterVal supports multiple property types, including residential (apartments and houses), commercial (offices, retail shops, retail buildings, and parking), industrial (warehouses), and land. While each property type may have specific attributes and data fields, the overall structure and functionality of the comparables database remain consistent.
For the purpose of this documentation, we will focus on the page for the residential property type, specifically apartments. However, the page ay-out, instructions and processes outlined here also apply to the pages of the other property types, with minor variations in the data fields and attributes.
It is important to note that most of these properties might be located in specific buildings for which you might need to store specific information. In order to avoid duplicating your efforts, InterVal hosts a specific database with its own page/section for buildings.
Users can add comparables to the database through this dedicated section, ensuring that the information is easily accessible for future projects. Additionally, InterVal allows users to input comparables directly during the valuation process, providing a seamless and efficient workflow.
By leveraging the power of the comparables database, valuers can save time, reduce manual data entry, and make more accurate valuations based on relevant and up-to-date market information.
This screenshot showcases the Comparables List View, which displays all the comparables for each property type in a list format.
