An independent opinion of value, backed by the aircraft's records.
An appraisal estimates the current market value of a specific aircraft from its specification, hours and cycles, maintenance status, records and the market for that model. Lenders, insurers, buyers and sellers rely on it, so it must come from a qualified, independent appraiser.
Buying
Check the asking price against the aircraft's real condition and records before you make an offer.
Selling
Set an asking price you can defend, and spot record gaps that would cost you in negotiation.
Financing and refinancing
Lenders require a current appraisal to set the loan amount. We arrange one they will accept.
Leasing and sale-leaseback
Lessors price rent and purchase on appraised value and residual value.
Insurance
Set the agreed hull value so the aircraft is neither under- nor over-insured.
Ownership and fleet planning
Track value over time for accounting, estate planning and replacement timing.
Choose the level of opinion the decision needs.
Market value review (Avelora): an indicative view from sourced market data, for early planning. Desktop appraisal (independent certified appraiser): a formal opinion from records and specification, without a physical inspection. Inspected appraisal (independent certified appraiser): a full on-site inspection of the aircraft and its records, the level most lenders require.
From logbooks to a lender-ready report.
Most appraisals move faster when the records are complete before the appraiser starts. We prepare the file first, then manage the appraiser, the inspection and the report.
Specification, logbooks, programme status and damage history collected and checked for gaps.
An independent certified appraiser is selected for the aircraft type and the purpose: purchase, sale, loan or insurance.
We walk through the value, the assumptions and any adjustments with you, and with your lender or insurer if needed.
Need a value for a purchase, sale or loan?
Send the aircraft type, serial number and purpose. Appraisal fees are agreed in writing before any work starts.
We retain the appraisal service. A credentialed expert performs it.
Formal appraisals, physical inspections, maintenance-record audits and other specialist work are commissioned from independent qualified third parties under an agreed scope. Avelora coordinates provider selection, records readiness, instructions, timelines and the client's review of the resulting report.
Scope the purpose
Purchase, sale, lending, insurance, estate or dispute-related work may require different appraiser qualifications and standards.
Check independence
Confirm competence for the aircraft type, independence, conflicts, insurance, professional standing and acceptance by the intended recipient.
Commission the specialist
Agree third-party fees, deliverables, inspection access and expected dates in writing before work begins.
Interpret the findings
Bring certified opinions into market comparisons and decision scenarios without altering or reissuing the specialist's professional conclusions.
