All of our Surveyors who conduct the valuations are Registered Valuers as part of the RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) Registered Valuer Scheme, this gives you assurance and peace of mind that it follows the requirements needed for most purposes.
As an independent firm of Surveyors, we can provide you with an impartial view as to the value of your home or the property that you are looking to purchase. Below are just some of the reasons that you may require an RICS Valuation Report.
Whether selling, increasing your share within the scheme or repaying the loan separately, you will be required to obtain a valuation from an RICS Registered Valuer to complete the process.
There are a number of schemes out there but the most common is managed by Homes England. We are fully aware of the requirements and our report is tailored to their needs. You can find more details under the tab ‘Useful Documents.
Shared Ownership Valuations
Purchasing more shares, this is often referred to as ‘Staircasing’ and increases the amount of ownership you have of the property. Your Housing Association will require you to obtain a valuation from an RICS Registered Valuer, each Association can have different requirements for the report so you must advise us when you are looking to book as to which one it is, e.g Orbit, Metropolitan, Clarion, BPHA etc etc.
Selling: When selling your Shared Ownership property, you will be required to obtain a valuation from an RICS Registered Valuer, once again each Housing Association has different requirements so you must advise us as to which one so that we can correctly provide the correct report for you. Most Housing Associations will require a period of time for them to move the property on before permitting you to go into the open market with an Estate Agent.
