Daventry Appraisal Services adheres to a strict code of ethics, as established by the Appraisal Standards Board and the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), to provide a fair and unbiased opinion. Our appraisals are recognized as qualified for legal purposes internationally, and we are also recognized as qualified appraisers by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
When completing an equine appraisal, a sales comparison approach is most often used. Comparison of the subject equine is done with other similar equines that have sold in the recent past. Using comparable equine sales, a composite figure is calculated to represent the fair market value of the subject equine. This value is time-sensitive due to economic and industry trends in the horse industry.
The End Result
The client is provided with a thorough, professional report, which normally contains a full written description of the equine, photographs, video analysis, conformational/gait analysis, significant notes about lineage, show records, and other supporting market data to back up the conclusions and valuation.
