What is a RICS Valuation
A RICS valuation is a formal, independent assessment of a property’s market value, carried out by a qualified RICS Registered Valuer.
The valuation considers factors such as:
Property type and condition
Size and layout
Location and local market conditions
Comparable recent sales
This ensures the valuation reflects the property’s true market position at the time of inspection.
When Do You Need a Valuation
We provide valuations for a range of purposes, including:
Help to Buy redemption
Shared ownership staircasing or sale
Capital gains tax
Probate and inheritance matters
Private sale or purchase decisions
Each valuation is tailored to its purpose and produced in the correct format required.
Help to Buy & Shared Ownership Valuations
If your property is subject to a Help to Buy loan or shared ownership scheme, an independent RICS valuation is required to:
Repay your loan (full or partial redemption)
Staircase your ownership
Sell your property
These valuations must meet specific requirements set by scheme providers and are typically valid for a limited period.
We ensure all reports are compliant and accepted by the relevant authorities.
Probate & Tax Valuations
In the event of probate or tax-related matters, a formal valuation is required to establish the market value of a property.
These valuations are used for:
Inheritance tax calculations
Estate administration
Financial reporting
Capital gains tax
We provide clear, well-supported valuations suitable for legal and financial purposes.
