Purchase

Residential Property Valuations If you are in the process of buying a residential property, a valuation will give you the peace of mind and guidance on the market value of the property. This will help you to make an informed decision on whether the price you are paying is reasonable. Our valuation will take in to account the property condition and any repairs that are recommended or required.

Sale/Disposal

RICS Homebuyer Report We can provide impartial and non-biased confirmation of a property’s value for sale or disposal. All our market valuations are undertaken by Registered Valuers in compliance with RICS Valuation – Global Standards (RICS ‘Red Book’) and are fully covered by professional indemnity insurance.

Help-To-Buy

Help to Buy valuations are required when repaying your equity loan on selling, or where you are buying out the remaining share of the property.

As part of the redemption process you will need a formal valuation carried out by an RICS Registered Valuer. This is needed to establish the Market Value of your property. We have provided many such valuations, in full compliance with RICS Valuation – Global Standards and are fully covered by professional indemnity insurance.

Shared Equity

Shared Equity A valuation will be required when repaying your equity loan on selling, or where you are buying (staircasing) a further share of the property.

As part of the redemption process you will need a formal valuation carried out by a RICS Registered Valuer. This is needed to establish the Market Value of your property. We have provided many such valuations, in full compliance with RICS Valuation – Global Standards and are fully covered by professional indemnity insurance.

Our RICS valuation fulfils the strict criteria required by Housing Associations and other Shared Ownership providers.

Tax

Full Building Survey We can provide both inheritance tax valuations and capital gains tax valuations as required in relation to Section 160 of the Inheritance Tax Act 1984 and with regards to Section 272 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Tax 1992. These valuations are carried out where a family member has passed away and their property may need to the valued for the purpose of calculating the estate’s Inheritance Tax liability. The valuation is prepared in accordance with the RICS Valuation – Global Standards (Red Book), under the proper statutory definition of market value and in the proper format to stand up to any scrutiny from the District Valuer.

We also carry out retrospective valuations for Inland Revenue purposes.

Charities Act Reports

Residential Valuations In addition to the normal requirements for a valuation by an RICS Registered Valuer, reports compliant with the Charities Actsand the Charities (Qualified Surveyors’ Reports) Regulations 1992 demand additional matters to be considered and reported upon, such as the most appropriate form of marketing (for disposals) and whether repairs, planning applications or other courses of action should be considered first.

Valuers must demonstrate the appropriate level of impartiality, whilst fulfilling their statutory obligations alongside the needs of their client, and must give proper consideration to the charity’s obligations to its own stated objectives.

All our market valuations are undertaken by Registered Valuers in compliance with RICS Valuation – Global Standards (RICS ‘Red Book’) and are fully covered by professional indemnity insurance.
