An RICS valuation is an assessment of the value of a property, which is carried out by a qualified surveyor. All our surveyors work under guidelines set out by the RICS, providing accurate estimates for prospective buyers and sellers who may want more information about the value of a property before they buy, or for a range of other reasons.
A valuation carried out by an RICS-qualified surveyor is likely to be more accurate than that provided by an estate agent as these valuations are designed to maximise the chances of securing clients and achieving the highest sale prices.
RICS Valuations can be used for the following purposes:
- Probate valuations to calculate inheritance tax when someone has died
- Valuations required as part of matrimonial disputes and divorces
- Valuations required by owners wishing to sell properties originally purchased under Help to Buy and Shared Ownership schemes.
- Valuations required to secure a mortgage – these are usually arranged through your mortgage provider
- A range of other scenarios which require an accurate, expert valuation of the market value of a property
