Whether you are purchasing or investing in a property, need a valuation for legal reasons or are unsure of the value of your home or property assets, you may need a Valuation Report. By appointing a qualified and experienced Chartered Surveyor who is also a Registered Valuer, you are more likely to obtain an accurate and reliable valuation.
All valuation reports include a professional value of the property in line with the current market and identify any serious defects while establishing the re-instatement value for insurance purposes.
A market valuation, otherwise known as an RICS Property Valuation, is an estimate of a property’s true value in the current market. Marlbrooks’s RICS Registered Valuers perform an inspection of the entire property while adhering to strict guidelines to calculate an accurate figure.
These valuation reports briefly detail a property’s overall condition and describe its size and location. Unlike an RICS Home Survey Level 2 or Level 3 report, Valuation reports do not explain defects or provide a cost estimate for any required repairs.
Sometimes it may be essential to determine the opinion of the value of a property at a specific historical date based on market conditions and comparable evidence that reflect those available at the requested retrospective valuation date. There can be many reasons why a client may require a retrospective valuation, including Inheritance Tax/Probate, Capital Gains Tax and Right to Buy.
Appointing a qualified and Registered Chartered Surveyor and Registered Valuer is crucial. Marlbrooks Chartered Surveyors’ experience, local knowledge and valuation resources can provide an accurate retrospective valuation. Please call us to discuss your requirements in more detail as the desired retrospective date will determine if we take on this instruction.
A probate valuation is required to distribute a deceased’s estate to its legal beneficiaries. Beneficiaries may need to pay inheritance tax if the estate’s value is over the threshold limit. Marlbrooks Chartered Surveyors comply with stringent guidelines to provide accurate inheritance tax, probate, and capital gains tax valuations.
When a property owner sells or disposes of a property asset which has seen an increase in value since its acquisition, capital gains tax becomes due. This is calculated on the gains in value. Capital gains tax is payable regardless if the property is sold, traded, or gifted. Contact Marlbrooks Chartered Surveyors for more information.
An impartial matrimonial/divorce valuation is required if the parties involved cannot agree on how to divide up their assets fairly. A valuation from Marlbrooks Chartered Surveyors’ RICS Registered Valuer will assist a judge in deciding how to distribute the parties’ assets in accordance with the law.
The Right-To-Buy Scheme enables council or housing association tenants to purchase their home at a significant discount. To verify the accuracy of a landlord’s offer or counter offer it is essential for tenants to commission their own independent valuation. Contact Marlbrooks Chartered Surveyors for an independent Right-To-Buy valuation.
The Help-To-Buy Scheme enables the client to purchase their home with government assistance. When the client wishes to redeem the loan or sell the property, an independent valuation is required. Contact Marlbrooks Chartered Surveyors for an independent Help-To-Buy valuation.
