Home Valuation Options
Don’t be in the dark about the value of your home or portfolio – there are lots of reasons you might need to know the value of your property. Survey Hut undertakes a huge variety of valuations, including help to buy, expert witness, probate, shared ownership, and many more.
Help to Buy
Get a valuation by a RICS Registered Valuer if you’re looking to take control of your home and either sell or remortgage to pay off the equity loan.
Expert Witness
You will require an expert witness valuation if you’re going to court and need an impartial market valuation which is regulated by the RICS.
Probate
At a difficult time when a family member or friend has passed away, Survey Hut can value the property or portfolio.
Why Discover the Value of Your Property?
Understanding the value of your property can be essential, whether for selling, purchasing, taxation purposes or when in dispute with another party.
The Role of the RICS
The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) sets the standards for property valuation in the UK. Their guidelines ensure that the valuation process is consistent and reliable for all stakeholders involved. If you’re considering a valuation, look for a professional with RICS accreditation, such as a Survey Hut registered valuer, who can offer peace of mind that your property valuation will be conducted to the highest industry standards.
Different Types of Home Valuations
A market value is what a property would reasonably fetch if sold on the open market. There are various types of valuations you might require, depending on your specific needs. Survey Hut can provide all of them:
Purchasing: Check the price you’ve agreed for your new home is the market value and that you’re not overpaying for it. Our home surveys can feature a detailed valuation.
Help to Buy: You’ll need an RICS valuation to take control of your home and either sell or remortgage it to pay off the equity loan.
Shared Ownership: Before selling your shared ownership property, you’ll need a valuation.
Expert Witness: If you are in court for a divorce or other legal dispute, you might need a valuation by an expert witness.
Probate: At a difficult time when a family member or friend has passed away, Survey Hut can value a property or portfolio for inheritance tax purposes.
Factors Affecting Property Price
Your property’s value is influenced by numerous elements, both within and beyond your control. Here are some key factors:
Proximity to shops, transport links, and schools.
How many bedrooms and how big the property is.
If the property has a garage, summer house, large garden, driveway, or outbuilding.
Current state of repair, fittings, structural issues, and recent renovations.
The economy, interest rates, and housing demand can all sway property prices significantly.
