A resort or sanatorium is first of all a territory: hectares of land carrying accommodation buildings, cottages, dining and leisure facilities, utilities — and often a shoreline, forest or mineral water springs. Valuing such an asset means valuing a property complex in its entirety, from the condition of each building to the legal status of the land beneath it.
Kanzas values recreational property in Ukraine for domestic and international clients on an IVS-consistent basis, with English-language reports and mandatory site inspection of the whole territory, carried out with our regional representatives across the country.
When You Need a Resort Valuation
- acquisition or disposal of a complex;
- collateral for bank financing;
- lease or transfer to management, including state and municipal assets;
- privatization — a substantial share of Ukraine's sanatorium stock is state- or union-owned and is gradually coming to market;
- IFRS financial reporting and contributions in kind;
- disputes and division of property between owners.
Going Concern or Redevelopment: Two Values of the Same Asset
For an operating resort, value is driven by the seasonal operating model — occupancy, package or nightly rates, revenue structure — and the income approach leads, with seasonal cash flows discounted explicitly. But for much of the Soviet-era stock the realistic buyer is an investor interested in the location rather than the outdated room fund: value is then set by the redevelopment scenario, where land, utilities and permitting potential dominate. A credible report states plainly which scenario yields the higher value, and for whom.
The market approach works through unit metrics — price per bed or per are of territory in comparable transactions; the cost approach serves as a control and for insurance purposes. A sanatorium adds a medical layer: licenses, treatment facilities and access to natural therapeutic resources are identified separately, because they carry the price premium over ordinary accommodation of the same capacity.
State Assets and the Privatization Pipeline
Lease and privatization of state-owned resorts and sanatoriums in Ukraine run through State Property Fund procedures, with an independent valuation as a mandatory step. Kanzas is accredited with the State Property Fund of Ukraine and included in its list of recommended valuation firms — we value state and municipal assets for lease, privatization and transfer to management, an increasingly relevant route for international investors watching Ukraine's recovery market.
Questions and answers
What matters more for value — the buildings or the territory? It depends on the use scenario. For an operating complex the operating model sets the value; for a redevelopment asset the buildings may add little — land, location and utilities dominate. The report separates these scenarios explicitly.
Do you value state-owned sanatoriums? Yes. The firm is accredited with the State Property Fund and values state and municipal assets for lease, privatization and management transfer.
Is the land plot valued together with the complex? The plot has its own legal status and is valued in a separate report; where the land is leased — the typical case for recreational assets — the leasehold right itself is valued.
How much does a resort valuation cost? We quote a fixed fee and timeline after reviewing the site master plan, the list of buildings and the purpose of the valuation — both are agreed before the engagement letter is signed.
