What do we mean by rural property?
A rural farm is a piece of land located outside urban centers, which is usually used for agricultural, livestock or forestry activities. These farms usually have their own characteristics, with a larger size, lower density of buildings and infrastructure, and a focus on the production of natural resources.
In Spain, common examples include crop fields (such as vineyards or olive groves), livestock farms, forests and woodlands for recreational use or hunting.
> Factors influencing the appraisal of rural properties
The valuation of a rural property depends on multiple factors, such as geographical location, state of conservation, land use and the availability of natural resources, it is important to provide the registry documentation. The following are some of the key aspects that influence the valuation.
Geographical location
The location of the farm is fundamental in determining its value. Farms located near highways, urban centers or areas of high agricultural demand have a higher value, since accessibility and proximity to markets increase the property’s potential. In addition, factors such as climate, soil quality and water availability are crucial, as they directly affect the productivity of the land.
State of conservation
The state of conservation of the farm includes the physical condition of the land and its infrastructure, such as internal roads, fencing and irrigation systems. A farm in good condition and with well-maintained infrastructure has a higher value than one that requires work or improvements. In addition, a well-kept land with no erosion or pest problems also influences the final value.
Land use and development
The current use and possibilities for land development significantly affect its value. Farms destined for highly profitable crops, such as vineyards or olive plantations, or for leisure activities, such as rural tourism or hunting, tend to have a higher value. In addition, the farm’s potential to obtain licenses or special permits also makes it more attractive and increases its value.
Why appraise a piece of land or rural property?
The appraisal of a rural property is essential to know its real value and make decisions based on the information provided in the reports. This process is important for sales, financing, tax planning and project development.
To know the real value of my property
Knowing the value of the land allows the owner to have an objective reference and not to overestimate or underestimate the market value of the land, especially when planning to sell or do an estate appraisal.
Sale of the property
Having an official appraisal allows the value of the land to be set objectively, facilitating the buying/selling process and attracting potential users.
Safe shopping
For buyers, the appraisal guarantees that the price corresponds to the real value, avoiding paying a higher amount for the property.
Financing and loans
Banks require an official appraisal to grant financing on a rural property. This value helps to calculate the maximum loan amount, backed by the value of the property.
Insurance evaluation
The adequate valuation of a rural property is essential to contract an insurance policy that adjusts to the characteristics and needs of the property. This process makes it possible to determine the real value of the property, including its buildings, crops, machinery and other assets, in order to have adequate coverage to protect against possible losses or damages in the event of a loss.
An official valuation is crucial to avoid situations of underinsurance or overinsurance, as both scenarios can be detrimental. In the case of underinsurance, where the insured value is lower than the actual value, the claims may not be sufficient to cover the damages. In the case of overinsurance, the owner would end up paying higher premiums than necessary for coverage in excess of the value of the property.
Tax planning
The appraisal of the property allows to calculate the value for the payment of taxes, such as Transfer Tax, Inheritance and Gift Tax and other related taxes.
Evaluation of improvements
Improvements made to the property can increase its value. With the appraisal, this impact on the total value of the land can be measured.
Appraisal of rural properties: who can perform it?

Before performing the appraisal, it is important to gather relevant documentation, such as property deeds, cadastral reference, updated plans, operating permits and land use certificates. Having this information complete facilitates the process and helps to obtain an accurate valuation.
Enhancements that can increase value
Investing in improvements such as efficient irrigation systems, access, renewable energy, and road and fence maintenance can increase the value of the farm. Improvements in infrastructure or facilities that increase productivity also have a positive impact on the appraisal.
