In fast-growing markets like Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, and Sihanoukville, guessing property value can cost you thousands.
Here is what you need to know about how property valuation works in Cambodia—and how to get one done fast.
The 3 Core Valuation Methods
Certified Cambodian appraisers rely on three standard approaches to determine fair market value:
Direct Comparison (Market Approach):
Best for: Borey homes, condos, and residential land.
Compares recent sales of similar properties in the same Sangkat or Khan, adjusting for size, frontage, condition, and road access.
Income Capitalization:
Best for: Serviced apartments, commercial shophouses, hotels, and office buildings.
Calculates property value based on current and projected rental cash flow, occupancy rates, and local capitalization (cap) rates.
Cost Replacement Approach:
Best for: Warehouses, factories, and custom builds.
Calculates the market value of the bare land plus the modern replacement cost of the building, minus depreciation.
What Influences Property Value in Cambodia?
Title Type: Hard Titles (L-MAP) and Strata Titles command the highest market confidence and banking approval rates compared to soft titles.
Road Width & Frontage: Wide Street frontage and corner lots significantly boost commercial and rental valuations.
Infrastructure & Zoning: Proximity to major transport arteries, ring roads, and zoned commercial corridors directly drives upward price adjustments.
