Residential Valuations

A valuation of a residential house or flat typically involves a short visit to the property, along with considerable desk research. Evidence from both the visit and the research are combined to determine the market value of the home. Our surveyor will make a visual inspection of many aspects of the property when making a residential valuation.

It is important to remember that valuations are not building surveys. Properties can have many defects, both major and minor, that do not affect market value but that do require costly repairs and maintenance. For this reason, if you are purchasing a property it is a good idea to have a building survey done by an RICS surveyor. That way, you know exactly what you are buying.
