Selected
partisan (or stronger: biased) valuation report (but see below)
Report commissioned by only one side (Partei) - which therefore may not present a disinterested view, or indeed could be completely biased to one point of view or valuation result - e.g. glossing over disadvantages (from the vendor's point of view) or stressing problems (for the purchaser).
A near-synonym (slightly more insulting) is Gefälligkeitsgutachten - i.e. a report tailored to the requirements of the instructing party.
However, you will need to use a euphemistic version to translate this - something like "report commissioned by (and on behalf of)..."

: but report commissioned by one party, rather than an independent one agreed by the court on the parties' reps. as in the UK, is more neutral: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parteigutachten

report of an independent expert
Since, moreover, this is an
opinion commissioned by the Land Youth Welfare Office, which is to be
defined as a party opinion, it would have been advisable to obtain **the
report of an independent expert**. In addition, the Higher Regional Court
– as far as can be seen – at no time obtained a personal impression of
the parties.

The original German text : Da es sich außerdem um eine vom
Landesjugendamt in Auftrag gegebene Stellungnahme handelt, die als
Parteigutachten zu qualifizieren ist, wäre die Einholung eines
Gutachtens eines unabhängigen Sachverständigen geboten gewesen. Zudem
hat sich das OLG - soweit ersichtlich - zu keiner Zeit einen
persönlichen Eindruck von den Beteiligten verschafft.

: Sorry Andries - IMHO we have to get across the meaning that the expert may not have been independent in this case

Real estate appraisal (of an independent expert)
The text itself leads to the conclusion that this is an appraisal stating/ finduing the value of a piece of property, and this should be expressed. And that should be it. The portion in brackets is superfluous, more or less...

So, "Independent Party's Expert Opinion"? "Contracting Party's Expert Opinion" might mean something else again. :-) Both, unfortunately, would seem to apply to the document I'm translating. The document could be seen as an "expert opinion prepared by an independent party" OR as an opinion prepared by an independent expert FOR THE CONTRACTING PARTY, i.e. the party interested in possibly purchasing this property.
