The key question in any transaction should be What is the value of the property?​
The Market Value is essentially how much a buyer would be happy to pay for the property assuming they were willing to pay the market value and were not placed under any undue pressure. At the same time, this reflects the amount the seller would be willing to accept.
Our experienced RICS accredited surveyors are all members of the Registered Valuer Scheme giving you the assurance the valuation report will be wholly compliant with the RICS Red Book and the Internation Valuation Standards (IVS).
''I would not hesitate to recommend them to a friend or colleague looking for a surveyor.''

PRIVATE VALUATION
We offer private residential market valuations which can be a useful tool to assist in your negotiations over the price of the house in question. Having an impartial valuation from us (not the estate agent) can give you real bargaining power as well as giving you peace of mind you are paying the true market value, no more. All our valuations are carried out in accordance with the RICS Global Valuation Standards.

MARITAL & DIVORCE
Should you wish to sell the house or buy out your partner’s share you will require a market valuation of the property. The valuation will be used to determine how joint assets are divided in divorce proceedings. As we realise these can be stressful times all valuations will of course be handled in a sensitive manner and in accordance with the RICS Global Valuation Standards to ensure no reasons for contention.

INSURANCE COSTING...
A Reinstatement Cost Assessment (RCA) is a professional valuation that calculates the total cost of rebuilding your home from the ground up if it were destroyed — including demolition, site clearance, materials, labour, professional fees, and compliance with current building regulations. It is not the same as market value; it reflects the true reconstruction cost, which can be significantly higher or lower than what a property would sell for.

INHERITANCE TAX (PROBATE)
In Inheritance Tax (IHT) cases the personal representatives are required to submit an IHT account that identifies all ‘appropriate’ property and its value. The true market value of the property is required in order to gain a Grant of Probate. You will receive a valuation carried out in accordance with the RICS Global Valuation Standards using the value defined under the Inheritance Tax Act 1984.

...INSURANCE COSTING
UK insurers rely on this figure to set an accurate buildings insurance sum insured. Without an up‑to‑date RCA, homeowners risk being under‑insured (leading to reduced payouts under the “average clause”) or over‑insured (paying more than necessary for premiums). Having a regular RCA — typically every 3–5 years or after major alterations — ensures your home is fully protected and that your insurance coverage remains precise, compliant, and financially efficient.
