A well-prepared valuation brief helps the valuer understand what you own, how you acquired it, what has changed since acquisition and why you need the valuation.
For Delhi properties, the relevant documents can differ depending on whether you own a builder floor, DDA flat, group housing property, leasehold property, inherited property or government employee allotment.
The documents do more than prove ownership. They help establish the property identity, acquisition history, area, tenure and transaction context required for the valuation brief.

The primary title document. For DDA flats, group housing properties and older properties, the relevant document may instead be an allotment letter, society documentation or mutation document.
MCD or NDMC building plan approval helps establish the sanctioned covered area. This is particularly relevant for builder floors and independent houses where constructed area may differ from sanctioned area.
Recent property tax receipts provide useful evidence of the property's current assessment and can support the Civil Engineer's valuation cross-check.
For group housing societies and DDA flats, society documentation can help establish outstanding dues and the property's maintenance position.
Keep the relevant NDMC lease deed, L&DO lease deed, DDA allotment letter and conveyance deed, wherever applicable. These documents establish the tenure and ownership context for leasehold and allotment properties.
If the valuation is connected with capital gain computation, the acquisition history becomes especially important.
What did you or your predecessor actually pay? For properties acquired before 1985, the original sale deed amount may appear small compared with today's value. The registered acquisition document remains important for establishing the acquisition date and original consideration.
Keep evidence of significant additional construction, major renovation or floor additions made after acquisition. These costs can form part of the cost of improvement considered in the capital-gain computation.
If you are preparing for a sale, the proposed transaction helps establish the context for the valuation and the Section 50C comparison.
What is the agreed or proposed sale price with the buyer? This information is useful for the Section 50C check and for the relevant capital-gain valuation analysis.
Buyer details are not necessarily required for the Government Approved Valuation certificate, but they can provide useful transaction context when reviewing the proposed sale.
It allows the valuation brief to consider the proposed transaction alongside the relevant stamp valuation / SDV context.
