Questions

What is a RICS valuation?

A professional opinion of value prepared by an appropriately qualified valuer. A Red Book instruction identifies the purpose, basis of value, client, intended users, scope and limitations before the work begins.

Do I need a valuation or a survey?

Surveys assess physical condition; valuations establish market value. You may need one or both, and any of our surveys can include a valuation from the same visit.

How long does a valuation take?

Valuation reports are typically issued within 5 working days of the inspection. We confirm the inspection date and report date with your quote. Timing depends on the purpose, scope, property and information required.

Will it be accepted by my lender?

Lenders commonly commission valuations through their own panel. Tell us the lender, purpose and intended users before instruction so we can confirm whether our service is appropriate; third-party acceptance should never be assumed.

What does a valuation cost?

Valuations start from £325 for a property valued up to £500,000 (the full fee, including all taxes and fees). The fee depends on the purpose, property value and complexity, and is confirmed in writing before you instruct.

Who values your property
