At Pointe Michel we understand the need for the prudent stewardship of your residential portfolio. We are deeply concerned about the impact of property on our environment and society.
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Factors in Valuation
In our business, we help to identify the significant ESG factors that can impact the valuation of your homes. We do this by considering the ESG frameworks and legislation relevant to your homes that should be complied with.
We have helped clients apply ESG frameworks that are relevant to them. ESG factors serve as important criteria which feed into the overall valuation report. In our assessments we consider the following ESG factors:
Environmental Factors
- Energy Performance - e.g. EPC rating
- Vulnerability to flooding
- Environmental assumptions concerning:
- Land contamination
- Load bearing capacity
- Soil conditions
Social and Governance Factors
- Location characteristics - Connectivity and infrastructure
- Building access for people with disabilities and associated requirements
- Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) -E.g. does the design of the building encourage inclusive use, for example of neuro-divergent individuals and different generations etc
The review of these ESG factors serve as key inputs for the overall valuation of your residential portfolio.

ESG Valuation
We are also familiar with the common ESG risks that you might be grappling with including:
- Climate-related stranded asset risks - Land or property that suffers from unanticipated or premature write-downs, devaluation or conversion to liabilities rendering it obsolete or unmarketable prematurely.
- Transition risks - Challenges faced in the execution of efforts made to move towards a low-carbon economy such as climate litigation, policy changes, technological shifts and markets shifts.
- Physical risks- The occurrence of severe and/or chronic weather events including natural hazards such as floods and heatwaves
- Reputational risks- ESG issues resulting in a detrimental impacts to brand and reputation
- Regulatory and reporting risks- Non-compliance with sustainability disclosure regulations
A valuation report does not constitute an ESG Risk Assessment. However, the report enables you to identify the ESG areas within your residential portfolio that can be improved. This enables you to target areas that would have a direct impact on increasing the value of your homes.
Overall, we understand that grappling with these ESG risks can be perceived as a burden but at Pointe Michel we realise that by making sustainability-related enhancements, there is an opportunity to add value and to extend the lifecycle of your properties.
