Not Sure Which Valuation You Need?

Our team can guide you on the most appropriate valuation for your circumstances, whether it relates to lending, tax, settlement, or development purposes.

What does a residential valuation involve?

Our valuer considers the property’s location, size, condition, accommodation and distinctive features, together with comparable transactions and current market conditions.

Depending on the instruction, the process may include:

We will also identify any important assumptions, limitations or matters that may require further specialist advice.

More than an online estimate

Automated valuation tools can provide a quick indication, but they cannot fully account for a property’s condition, improvements, precise position or unusual characteristics.

A professional valuation considers the individual property and the evidence behind its value. This can be particularly important when the figure will be relied upon for a financial, legal or taxation decision.

Valuation or market appraisal?

A market appraisal is generally prepared by an estate agent to suggest a potential asking price. It may be influenced by marketing strategy and is not normally suitable for formal purposes.

A residential valuation is an independent professional assessment produced for a defined purpose and on an agreed basis. If you are unsure which service you need, speak with us and we will help you identify the right option.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a residential valuation take?

Timescales depend on the property, the purpose of the valuation and the information available. We will provide an expected inspection and reporting timeframe when confirming your instruction.

Fees vary according to the property’s location, size, complexity and the type of report required. We provide a quotation before beginning the work.

A physical inspection or desktop valuation is normally dependent on the situation. We will advise you if a different approach is suitable for your circumstances.

We may request the property address, tenure, floor plans, details of extensions or alterations, lease information and any relevant legal documents. The exact requirements will depend on the purpose of the valuation.

No. A valuation provides an opinion of value and is not a detailed assessment of the property’s structural condition. If you need advice about defects, repairs or maintenance, a building survey may be more appropriate.
