Then we match that with market trends, comparable sales, and zoning info to give you a report that is honest, clear, and bank-ready.

Our valuations follow International Valuation Standards, which means they meet the strict requirements lenders and legal professionals need. For mortgages in Jamaica, a certified appraisal is not optional — it is required. We help you tick that box and get approved faster.

The Role of Property Surveys in Residential Transactions

At JA Property Appraisals, we know that in Jamaica, land boundary issues are more common than you’d think. That is why a professional property survey is not just helpful — it is essential.

A proper survey confirms the exact boundaries of the land, flags any encroachments, and checks for easements that could affect ownership or use. It also ensures the property lines up with local zoning laws, protecting buyers from future legal disputes or land fraud.

Whether you’re buying, selling, or developing land, a survey gives you the facts up front — no surprises, no guesswork.
