Shared ownership properties in B43 represent a significant portion of the affordable housing market in Great Barr. If you own a shared ownership home through schemes administered by housing associations, you will need a formal valuation whenever you want to staircase, sell your share, or remortgage. The valuation must be carried out by a RICS registered valuer to be accepted by your housing association and mortgage lender. This requirement exists to protect both the leaseholder and the housing association by ensuring an independent, professional assessment of the property value.

When we value your shared ownership property in B43, we take into account not only the physical attributes of your home but also the specific terms of your lease. This includes the share you currently own, the rent payable on the unsold equity, any restrictions on who you can sell to, and the terms governing staircase. All of these factors combine to determine the market value of your share. We also consider the impact of ground rent and service charges, which can significantly affect the attractiveness of your property to potential buyers.
