Short answer: Sanghvi Valuers valued a portfolio of family properties on a consistent date and basis, then prepared a consolidated distribution summary to support partition discussions. Each asset was inspected and analysed separately before the results were brought together; the portfolio was not divided by area alone.
Assignment context
The family needed an independent valuation of several inherited properties in Pune. The assets differed in land area, built form, floor area, condition, use and marketability. A simple count of properties or comparison of physical area would therefore have produced an uneven result.
The public schedule uses neutral labels Asset A to Asset D and a broad Pune Cantonment-area description. Areas and values are rounded; family names, house numbers and exact addresses are withheld.
The valuation challenge
The work had two linked requirements:
- establish a supportable value for each property on the same valuation date; and
- organise the conclusions in a form that allowed the family and its advisors to compare alternative allocations and any equalisation amount.
Evidence reviewed
- Ownership and property-description documents supplied for each asset.
- Separate land, building, floor and open-area statements where relevant.
- Site inspection observations and current condition.
- Government valuation context and comparable market evidence.
- Property-specific occupancy, access, age, construction and marketability factors.
- The family structure and proposed distribution logic supplied by the instructing parties, without offering legal advice on entitlement.
Valuation approach
Value each asset independently
Each property received its own valuation schedule. Land and improvements were considered in the form appropriate to that asset rather than forcing every property into one rate or method.
Apply a common valuation date
Using the same relevant date reduced distortion from market movement and helped the family compare like with like.
Consolidate without losing detail
The individual results were carried into a distribution summary showing the value allocated under the proposed arrangement and the difference, if any, from the target share. The summary remained traceable to the separate property reports.
Anonymised portfolio schedule
| Asset | Simple area summary | Rounded value |
|---|---|---|
| Asset A | About 230 sq m ground floor and 210 sq m terrace | About Rs 10.0 crore |
| Asset B | About 200 sq m open area, 330 sq m built-up area and 110 sq m terrace | About Rs 10.0 crore |
| Asset C | About 210 sq m built-up area and 90 sq m terrace | About Rs 2.2 crore |
| Asset D | About 90 sq m open area and 230 sq m ground floor | About Rs 2.5 crore |
| Portfolio total | Four separately valued properties | About Rs 24.7 crore |
For two equal shares, the simple target was: Rs 24.7 crore divided by 2 = about Rs 12.4 crore each. Under one proposed allocation, the difference from the equal target was only about Rs 3 lakh. This showed the family the size of a possible balancing payment, while leaving legal entitlement to the lawyers and the parties.
The figures are deliberately rounded. Asset labels, areas and location descriptions are generalised and cannot be used to identify the private properties.
Outcome
The family and its legal advisors received a transparent property-by-property basis for discussion. The valuation did not decide legal entitlement or compel a settlement; it replaced informal estimates with a consistent financial reference and highlighted where an equalisation adjustment might be needed.
Why this matters
Two properties with similar floor area can have very different values because of land share, location within the plot, condition, access, development potential, occupancy and marketability. A partition supported by independent valuation can reduce disputes about the financial effect of allocating different assets to different family members.
Frequently asked questions
Must every property use the same valuation method?
No. The valuation date and reporting basis should be consistent, but the method must suit each asset and the available evidence.
Does the valuer decide each heir’s legal share?
No. Shares and legal rights are determined by the applicable documents, law, court orders and legal advice. The valuer provides the property-value analysis.
Can the report support a release deed or family settlement discussion?
It can provide an independent value reference, but the legal document and tax consequences require advice from the relevant professionals.
Confidentiality and limitation
This public case study uses rounded, generalised figures to explain the workflow. No client names, house identifiers, exact addresses, title documents or private distribution instructions are disclosed.
Request a family-settlement valuation
For an initial discussion, share the number and broad type of properties, their general locations, the required valuation date and the intended use of the reports. Sensitive ownership documents should follow only through the agreed secure process.
