We offer Valuations for a variety of purposes
An Impartial Opinion when Buying a Property
When you apply for a mortgage, your lender may arrange an RICS Valuation to help them to decide if the property you are buying is worth the money they are lending to you. This is for the lender’s benefit and you may wish to instruct your own Valuation to help you to make an informed decision on the home you are purchasing.
We can add a Valuation of the property to an RICS Level 2 Home Survey or as an additional service to an RICS Level 3 Home Survey. For more information on the survey types we offer, click here.
Help to Buy Valuations
When either selling or paying off a Help to Buy equity loan, you will need an RICS valuation.
This is because the shares are sold to the homeowner as a percentage of the Market Value of the property. When selling or buying back equity in your home, you need to pay back the equity loan provided by the government at the current Market Value. Get a Quote
Shared Ownership Valuations
When either selling or staircasing your shares in a Shared Ownership property, you will need an RICS valuation.
This is because the shares are sold to the homeowner as a percentage of the Market Value of the property. When staircasing, the value of the additional share you are buying is based on a percentage of the current Market Value. If you're selling your home, your share will be sold as a percentage of the current Market Value. Get a Quote

Probate Valuations
When someone has passed away, probate must be granted. This is so that their estate can be split among beneficiaries listed in their will. Before proceeding with this process, the value of the home needs to be established. Get a Quote
Inheritance Tax Valuations

Capital Gains Tax Valuations

Selling Your Home
A valuation will help a seller price their home before putting it up for sale.
An estate agent can provide a market appraisal as part of their services, but it will not be the same as an RICS Valuation. Sellers can then set a fair price for the property in line with housing market trends. Get a Quote
