WHO IT'S FOR

An appraisal for every key moment

Your bank needs an appraisal for a mortgage, your insurer needs a rebuilding value, and your notary may ask for a valuation for the transfer. ICE prepares the right report for each situation.

Mortgage & refinancing

A bank-ready report that meets the requirements of all six Dutch side banks.

Buying a property

Know the real value before you make an offer, so you negotiate with confidence.

Notary transfer

A simplified one-page valuation for the notary and the transfer tax. It cannot be used for financing or insurance.

Insurance

Insure your property for the right amount with an independent valuation.

Commercial property

Offices, warehouses, hotels and developments valued by engineers.

Estates & owners

Inheritance, partnership or portfolio review: an objective figure everyone can trust.

HOW IT WORKS

Four simple steps, handled for you

1

Send your request

Fill in the quick form below or order online with a $400 deposit. You can do it from abroad (US, Canada, Europe).

2

Share your documents

We confirm what we need, starting with the Certificate of Admeasurement number and the property details.

3

Site visit

An ICE appraiser visits the property, inside and outside: location, construction, general condition and surroundings. It is a general visual assessment, not a structural inspection.

4

Receive your report

Your digital appraisal report is generally completed within 10 working days of the visit, once all documents are received (an estimate, not a guaranteed deadline). The balance is invoiced on completion.

INSIDE YOUR REPORT

A complete report, not just a number

Every ICE appraisal report is written to be used directly by your bank, notary or insurer:

  • Identification of the property and its location
  • Title information from the Kadaster
  • Description of the construction and its general condition (a visual assessment, not a structural inspection)
  • Valuation methods applied and comparables
  • The values banks and insurers ask for: market value, auction value, reconstruction value, reconstruction value of site improvements and rental income

Why choose ICE?

  • Engineers, not just valuers: if your property raises structural questions, our structural engineers can carry out a separate assessment, for an additional fee.
  • Trusted by institutions: appointed as appraisal expert by island and central government agencies.
  • Proven on large projects: Sint Maarten Government Building, the new hospital, Aqua Marina in Maho and more.
  • Local since 1982: offices in Philipsburg and Marigot.
