Valuations for merger and take‐over purposes Available to Purchase

Discusses the role of the valuation surveyor in the context of a take‐over or merger. Examines a take‐over or merger as an event encased within a corporate transaction or change in property ownership. Warns that the valuer must ensure that proper advice is given to both the shareholders and to the directors just as if they were buying or selling that property, and that the chartered surveyor must understand the role which he or she is accepting and be prepared to work as part of a team. Argues that the surveyor continues to provide truly independent advice,as expected by shareholders and directors.
