Residential Valuation

Why do you need a valuation?

If you are a home buyer, there will be occasions when you require a valuation and not a survey. You may be confident about the condition of your new home, but if you are paying cash, or your mortgage lender has not provided a valuation, you might need reassurance that you are paying a reasonable price.

There are many reasons why people may need a valuation, including:

• Purchase or sale

• Help to Buy Scheme valuations

• Shared ownership/shared equity

• Insolvency

• Matrimonial or probate purposes

What do you get?

• A visual inspection of the inside and outside of the property by one of our qualified RICS Registered Valuers

• A clear and concise 3-4 page written report

• Summary of the type, location and description of property

• A comment on any major matters which might affect value such as serious structural movement or dampness

• A section on matters for your legal advisor to check

• A ‘Market Value’ in line with RICS Guidance

• An insurance rebuilding cost can be provided for a small extra charge if requested

Need advice?

We are always happy to discuss your specific requirements, and a valuer would be pleased to speak with you directly without obligation about the service we offer. We are also happy to talk through the valuation once completed. Please note that a valuation is not a survey, but the valuer will highlight any major items noticed during the course of a brief inspection which might have a material effect on value.
