General
Bed bug exposure is the one physical-condition risk in a hotel asset with no standard inspection or documentation trail, and until now no recognised impact on valuation. That is changing. Verified permanent safety is beginning to surface in valuation and transaction due diligence: sophisticated buyers are starting to ask for real-time, room-level proof, and to price the gap where it is missing.
A Valpas-certified asset carries a quantifiably different risk profile: lower recurring-cost and reputational risk, support for favourable insurance terms, and a verifiable ESG position, which supports and can lift valuation.
The full thesis: the Valpas Valuation Blind Spot briefing.
