Who uses a rental valuation

  • Landlords

    Setting or reviewing a rent, planning a portfolio, or checking a letting agent’s figure with an independent opinion.

  • Lenders and advisers

    A buy-to-let lender, accountant or solicitor asking for a market rent from an independent valuer for a stated purpose.

  • Family and trust matters

    Agreeing a fair rent between family members, trustees or co-owners.

What the report covers

  • An inspection of the property, with photographs and measurements
  • Market rent, and market value if instructed, prepared to the RICS Red Book
  • Comparable lettings and the reasoning behind the figure
  • The tenancy assumptions, the purpose and the intended users stated clearly
  • Direct contact with the valuer throughout

How it works

  1. Quote and terms

    Send the address, the purpose and any lender or adviser requirements. We confirm the fee, scope and dates in writing.

  2. Inspection

    Joe inspects the property and records what affects rent and value.

  3. Evidence and report

Good to know

  • Buy-to-let lenders usually instruct their own panel valuer. Tell us the lender before instructing so we can confirm whether our report is suitable.
  • This is not a statutory rent determination or a rent review under a lease; tell us if your instruction involves either.
  • Market value and market rent together from one visit is from £575.

Questions

Something else? Call Joe

What is a market rental valuation?
An independent opinion, by a RICS Registered Valuer, of the rent the property would achieve on the open market on stated tenancy assumptions, supported by comparable lettings.
How much does it cost?
From £475 for the market rent, or from £575 for market value and rent together, for a property valued up to £500,000. Full fee, including all taxes and fees, confirmed in writing first.
How is it different from a letting agent’s figure?
A letting agent gives a marketing appraisal. A RICS rental valuation is an independent professional opinion for an agreed purpose, with the evidence and assumptions written down.
How long does it take?
Reports are typically issued within 5 working days of the inspection. We confirm the inspection date and report date with your quote.
