Is property valuation free at HindaAI?

The snapshot is free: the HindaAI score, building details, the nearest risk source, and public transport and municipality indicators for one address, with no account. The estimated value in euros and the price range are in the full report, which is coming soon.

Does HindaAI replace an appraisal report?

No. HindaAI gives a statistical estimate based on register and transaction data and does not replace an appraisal report compliant with EVS 875. For a home loan, a court case or an inheritance, commission an appraisal report from a professional valuer.

What does the market value of an apartment depend on?

Most of all on location, then on the age and condition of the building (including renovation and the energy label), the floor, the floor area, the layout and the condition of the apartment itself. Local transactions show the price level, but the price of a particular apartment can differ from it.

What is the difference between an asking price and market value?

An asking price is what the seller hopes for. Market value is the price at which similar properties actually sell, and the Land and Spatial Board's transaction data shows it. The two can differ considerably.

Where does HindaAI's data come from?

From official and open sources, for example the Land and Spatial Board, the building register, energy label data and Statistics Estonia. The full list is on the methodology page.

Can I check a house or a plot as well?

You can check a house: the snapshot works for any address recorded as a building in the building register and uses that building's data. In an apartment building you choose the apartment first. No snapshot is made for a plot without a building, because the building register has no building at that address.

Property valuation starts with an address

The free HindaAI snapshot matches your address to its building register record and shows the HindaAI score (0–100), core building details, the energy label, the nearest risk source, and public transport and municipality indicators. No account needed. The estimated value in euros and the price range are in the full report, which is coming soon. HindaAI is a statistical estimate and does not replace an EVS 875 appraisal report.

What the free snapshot shows

A snapshot is an overview of one address. It has six parts.

HindaAI score. A number from 0 to 100 that sums up the signals for the surroundings, the condition of the building, its energy label and financial value. The score rests on five pillars: neighbourhood, financial value, building condition, livability and sustainability. The snapshot shows the overall score, not the breakdown by pillar. If there is too little data for an address, no score is shown.
Building details from the register. Building type, year built, floor area, number of rooms, floor (for apartments), heating and wall material. What the register does not hold is left out.
Energy label. The label class, if the building has one. The energy class is one indicator of how well a building keeps its heat and what heating may cost. If the register has none, the snapshot says so.
Nearest risk source. The snapshot looks up to one kilometre around the address for three kinds of source: busy roads, industrial areas and power lines. We show the nearest one with its distance, or a note that no strong nearby warning was found.
Public transport. The name of the nearest stop and its distance from the address. It hints at how easily you can reach town and work by public transport.
Municipality. The municipality and its tier on a scale from S to E, based on the municipality's overall score. The tier helps compare municipalities, but says nothing about a particular building.

What the snapshot does not show

The snapshot shows no euro amount and no price range: those are in the full report, which is coming soon. It also has no flood, radon or noise assessment, no document history and no monthly running costs. HindaAI does not inspect the property, so we cannot see interior finishes, the quality of renovations or the view.

The score is a benchmark, not a price. A higher score means a better overall picture, but two homes with the same score can sell for very different amounts, because the score says nothing about the home's own condition or its value in euros.

How property valuation works at HindaAI

Enter the address. Type the street and number, or the town or parish, and pick the exact address from the suggestions. The snapshot starts only once you pick a suggestion. If no suitable address turns up, or the register has no building there, the form says so and offers the property search.
Confirm the building. We match the address to its building register record. For an apartment building you also choose the apartment, because floor areas come from the register per apartment.
Read the snapshot. The result page shows the score, the building details and the surroundings. You can copy the snapshot's link and open it again later.

HindaAI calculates scores and estimates with statistical models built on register and open data. The models, sources and limits are described on the methodology page.

How to use the snapshot

As a buyer, compare the listing with the register: do the floor area, year built, heating and floor match? Look at what surrounds the building before you go to a viewing. A mismatch is not necessarily a mistake, but it is a good question for the seller.
As a seller, see what a buyer can learn about your address from the registers, and check that the numbers in your listing agree with them. The price itself still comes from the market, the condition of the home and negotiation.
As an owner, get a quick view of how your building and its surroundings look in register data, and spot the places where the data does not match reality.

What a home's value depends on

No single number sets the value of a home. The table lists the factors buyers and appraisers weigh most often, and whether HindaAI can see each one in register data or only an inspection reveals it. "From registry" means the snapshot takes it straight from the building register record. "Not visible" means only a person on site can judge it.

Value factors and what HindaAI sees of them in registers
Factor	Why it matters	In HindaAI data
Location and area	The biggest effect: the same building is priced differently across districts and parishes.	From registry Address, municipality and the nearest public transport stop.
Year built and building series	The period of construction hints at technical standard, layout and likely repairs.	From registry Year built and wall material. The exact building series is not shown.
Renovation and energy label	Insulation and heating affect running costs and buyer interest.	Partly from registry The energy label from the register, if there is one. Actual renovation work is not visible and depends on inspection.
Floor and lift	The floor affects light, view and convenience.	Partly from registry Floor and number of storeys from the register. A lift is not visible and depends on inspection.
Floor area and layout	Square metres and the arrangement of rooms decide how usable the home is.	Partly from registry Floor area and rooms from the register. How sensible the layout is depends on inspection.
Condition and finish	Repairs, plumbing, windows and interior finish often move the price more than register data does.	Not visible, depends on inspection Not visible, depends on inspection.
Local transactions	They show what similar homes actually sell for.	In the full report The basis of the statistical estimate in the full report, not in the snapshot.

Apartments and houses are partly driven by different things. For an apartment, the condition of the whole building and the shared property count for a lot, such as the roof, the pipework and the repair fund. For a house, the plot adds to the value: its size, shape and connections. The snapshot does not show them. For a buyer or seller this means register data gives a starting point, and only an inspection settles the condition.

Market value, asking price and appraisal report: what is the difference?

Three figures are often mixed up: the asking price on a portal, a statistical estimate and the appraisal report (hindamisakt) written by a valuer. They answer different questions. An asking price is a wish, a transaction is the result: if similar homes sell below the asking price, the buyer has room to negotiate, and if they sell above it, demand is strong.

Asking price, statistical estimate and appraisal report compared
Asking price, statistical estimate and appraisal report compared	Portal asking price	Statistical estimate (e.g. the HindaAI full report)	Appraisal report (EVS 875)
Who prepares it	The seller	A model built on register and transaction data	A professional valuer
On-site inspection	No	No	Yes
As the basis for a home loan	No	No	Usually what the bank asks for
Good for	A read of market mood	A first reference, comparison, budgeting	Loans, court, inheritance

You commission an appraisal report from a professional valuer, who inspects the property on site and writes the document to the standard. You need one when a third party has to rely on the figure: a bank granting a loan, a court in a dispute, or heirs dividing an estate. For budgeting, comparing prices and a first reference, a statistical estimate is often enough.

HindaAI sits in the middle column. A statistical estimate helps you compare and budget, but does not replace a valuer's inspection. For more, read data-driven estimate versus appraisal report and our guide to choosing a property appraiser.

Where the data comes from

The snapshot and the statistical models use register and open data.

Estonian Land and Spatial Board (Maa- ja Ruumiamet). Address data, market statistics and the cadastre.
Building register and energy labels. Building details and energy class.
Statistics Estonia. National statistics.
Peatus.ee public transport data. Stops and their distance from the address.
OpenStreetMap. Map objects used to describe the surroundings.

A snapshot is only as good as its sources. If the register holds an incomplete or outdated record for a building, the snapshot repeats it. In that case, check the key figure, such as floor area or year built, against documents or on site.

The provider and licence of each source are listed on the HindaAI methodology page. Every snapshot carries the date and time it was prepared, because the sources update at different times.

Property prices by area

A snapshot is about one address. For the wider picture of an area, see the area pages:

The area pages help you see what price level to expect around you. For a specific home, an address-based snapshot gives a sharper picture.
