Comparison
ValuerDekho vs Hiring a Valuer Directly
Most valuation firms' websites promise government approval, fast delivery and pan-India coverage. Hiring one directly works well when you already know the firm. Comparing on ValuerDekho adds a check on registration, a benchmark on fees against the Rule 248 ceiling and market bands, and a second and third quote, at no cost to you.
| Criterion | ValuerDekho | Direct hire |
|---|---|---|
| Cost to you | Free; you pay the valuer | Valuer's fee |
| Fee benchmark | Two or three written quotes against published bands | Single quote |
| Registration check | Done before listing | You must ask and verify |
| Speed | Quotes within one working day | Immediate if the firm answers |
| Relationship | Platform support plus the valuer | Direct with the firm |
| NRI coordination | Time-zone support, document checklist, CA hand-off | Depends on the firm |
Verdict
If you have a trusted valuer, hire them. If you are choosing for the first time, or the report will face a tax officer or embassy, compare first.
