Abstract:
The real estate valuation activity in the Republic of Moldova dates from 2002, with the adoption of Law No. 989 on Evaluation Activity. Nevertheless, the legislative and methodological framework is extremely limited. There are no national professional standards. Meanwhile, the situations that require real estate valuation are multiplying and diversifying. Therefore, the valuers apply the provisions of the International Valuation Standards (IVS) and of the European Valuation Standards (TEGoVA) adapting them to the national realities by virtue of their knowledge and experience. Information stored in databases plays an important role in the real estate valuation process. In this paper, the authors analyse the content of existing databases in the Republic of Moldova (the databases of normative documents, the information system for the cadastre of real estate, the statistical databases, and specialized databases), the quality of the included information, as well as the applicability of that information in the real estate valuation process. The disadvantages, limitations and shortcomings of databases are highlighted, and measures are proposed to increase their usefulness.
