C2C provides independent commercial property valuations across Gauteng for offices, shops, retail centres and income-producing properties. A valuation helps owners, investors and professional advisers make decisions about a sale, purchase, finance application or property portfolio.
The report assesses the property for an agreed purpose and valuation date, using its location, condition, rental performance and relevant market evidence. Established in 2002, C2C is led by Brian Morgan, Professional Valuer registered with the SACPVP (3702).

What determines commercial property value?
A commercial building’s value depends on more than its floor area. We consider the location and access, permitted use, building condition, lettable accommodation, tenant profile and evidence from comparable properties. For an investment property, the lease terms and sustainable net rental income are particularly important.
Vacancies, operating costs, lease expiries and differences between passing rent and market rent can affect the assessment. The report explains the basis adopted, the supporting evidence and any material assumptions or information limitations.
Commercial valuation methods
- Income capitalisation: considers sustainable net income and an appropriate market-related capitalisation rate.
- Discounted cash flow: may be appropriate where income or expenditure varies over time and the assumptions can be supported.
- Comparable sales: uses relevant transactions, allowing for differences between the subject property and the evidence.
- Cost approach: may provide additional insight for suitable properties; it is not a substitute for analysing the market.
The method is selected to suit the property and the instruction. A selling price estimate, municipal assessment and building insurance value serve different purposes and should not automatically be used interchangeably.
What information should you provide?
Please send the property address and valuation purpose, plus a rent roll or lease agreements, income and expenditure details, a municipal account and approved building plans where available. Insurance premiums and maintenance costs can help establish the operating cost profile. We will confirm the documents needed and arrange access for the inspection.
Fees, timing and Gauteng coverage
Fees depend on the property type, complexity, location and information required. Commercial reports are typically completed within five days after the site visit, subject to receiving the necessary information; the agreed scope and delivery date are confirmed with your quote.
We serve Gauteng, including Johannesburg, Pretoria and the East Rand. For warehouses, factories and logistics premises, see our industrial property valuation service. If you need a rebuilding assessment for insurance, use our building insurance valuation service.
Common questions
Does a commercial valuation guarantee bank approval?
No. A lender decides what reports it requires and whether an instruction must come through its own panel. Confirm the lender’s requirements before commissioning a valuation for finance.
Can a valuation help with a municipal objection?
Yes, evidence of market value may support an objection when prepared for the relevant valuation date. See contesting a municipal rates valuation for the process and information to gather.
