Where advisory is engaged

Development: Know before you commit

What can be built, when it can be built, and what the land is worth to someone who intends to build it.

• Site screening Identity, zoning, servicing phase and buildable envelope checked as gates. A parcel that fails one is reported as failing, not averaged into a score.
• Residual land value The most a developer could rationally pay, given what may be built, the rent it would earn and what construction costs.
• Highest and best use The permitted uses on each zone of the parcel, tested against the phase in which the master plan releases them.

Learn More: Know before you commit

Assessed from coordinates, so any Kigali listing can be gated.

Transaction: Price it on evidence

A position you can put in front of a counterparty, with the comparables, the zoning and the working attached to it.

• Parcel assessments A shareable report with every assumption named, every source cited, and the limits of the evidence stated on the same page as the figure.
• Acquisition support Comparables, zoning and risk in a single brief, priced per buildable square metre rather than per titled one.
• Disposal strategy Priced against recorded transfers in the same cell, not against what the neighbours are asking and not achieving.

Learn More: Price it on evidence

The same parcel and the same price. Only the denominator changed.

Institutional: Underwrite with the record

Portfolios and pledged security tested against zoning, phase and recorded price, in a form a credit committee can act on.

• Collateral review Confirm what a pledged parcel actually is: its zoning split, its servicing phase and what a developer could rationally pay for it.
• Portfolio assessment Holdings tested as a book rather than one file at a time, with concentration by district, zone and master-plan phase.
• Committee briefings * District and sector outlooks prepared for a specific decision, with the evidence and its limits set out for the record.

What a pledged parcel is worth to someone who could actually develop it.

* Delivered on request. Scope, method and limits are agreed in writing before work begins.

The evidence behind the advice

• 2,136 Cells with a recorded price
• 30 Districts covered
• 792 Verified comparables
• 0 Commission on advised deals

Paid for the answer, not the outcome

We take no commission on a transaction we advise, so an assessment carries no incentive to reach a particular conclusion. Where the evidence will not support one, we publish the limit rather than an estimate.

Questions

Is an assessment a certified valuation?

No. Assessments are screening and advisory work. A certified valuation for lending, tax or court purposes must be issued by a registered valuer, as our disclosures page sets out.

How is a parcel assessed?

Gates before scoring. Identity, permitted use, servicing phase and buildable envelope are checked first, because a failed check cannot be offset by a favourable average. Only then are price, comparables and residual land value applied.

What is residual land value used for?

It sets the most a developer could rationally pay for a site, given what may be built, the rent it would earn and what construction costs. Where it falls below the asking price, that gap is the argument.

Which services are delivered on request?

Items marked * are prepared per engagement rather than served from the platform. Scope, method and turnaround are agreed in writing before work starts.

How is independence maintained?

Ziinga earns no commission on advised transactions and holds no position in the assets it assesses. Conclusions are not adjusted to suit a listing, a vendor or a client.
