What Our Shared Ownership Valuation Covers

A shared ownership valuation is different from a standard mortgage valuation. It establishes two key figures that determine your buying pathway. The first is the full market value of the property, which represents what the property would sell for on the open market with no shared ownership scheme attached. The second is the valuation of the share you are purchasing, which directly affects your deposit amount, monthly rent, and eventual staircase costs.

Our valuers inspect every aspect of the property relevant to its value, including the overall condition, the size and layout of the accommodation, the quality of fixtures and fittings, and any unique features that affect worth. For Bagendon properties, our surveyors pay particular attention to the Cotswold stone construction, the age and character of period features, and the extent of any listed building status or conservation area restrictions that may impact future saleability.

The valuation report we produce is formatted specifically for shared ownership transactions and meets the requirements of all registered providers operating in the Gloucestershire area. We provide the completed valuation within five working days of instruction, with express services available for time-sensitive purchases.

How Our Valuation Process Works

Instruction

We receive your instruction and confirm the appointment details. You will receive an email outlining what we need from you, including the property address, the housing association involved, and the proposed share percentage.

Inspection

Our qualified valuer visits the property to conduct a thorough inspection. They measure the accommodation, assess the condition of the building, note any improvements or defects, and take photographs for the report.

Valuation

Using comparable sales data from the Bagendon and Cirencester market, along with our knowledge of local property values, the valuer calculates the full market value and the value of your proposed share.

Report Delivery

The completed RICS valuation report is sent to you electronically, with copies provided to your mortgage lender and housing association as required.

Why Local Knowledge Matters in Bagendon

Bagendon properties command premium values due to their Cotswold stone construction, period features, and protected location within the AONB. Our valuers understand how these factors specifically influence shared ownership valuations in this village, ensuring you receive an accurate assessment that reflects true market conditions.

Understanding Your Staircasing Options

Once you have completed your shared ownership purchase, you may eventually want to increase your share percentage through a process called staircasing. Each time you staircase, you will require a fresh valuation to determine the current market value of the property and calculate the cost of the additional share.

In a village like Bagendon where property values have increased by 32% over the past decade, understanding how staircasing works becomes particularly important. Our valuers can provide not only the current valuation you need for staircasing but also guidance on how the property's value might develop in future, helping you plan your long-term ownership strategy.

The educational offerings in the surrounding area include primary schools in nearby villages and secondary options in Cirencester, with several independent schools within reasonable driving distance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a shared ownership valuation?

A shared ownership valuation is a professional assessment of a property's full market value conducted by a RICS qualified surveyor. It determines how much the property is worth on the open market, which then allows the housing association to calculate the price of the share you are purchasing. This valuation is different from a standard mortgage valuation because it specifically serves the shared ownership scheme requirements.

Why do I need a valuation if the housing association has already told me the price?

Housing associations typically provide an asking price based on their own assessments, but mortgage lenders require an independent valuation before approving your shared ownership mortgage. Additionally, you have the right to request your own independent valuation to ensure you are paying a fair price for your share. Our valuation provides that independent, professionally certified assessment.

How long does the valuation take in the Bagendon area?

We aim to inspect your property within three working days of instruction and deliver the completed valuation report within five working days. This timescale applies to standard properties in the Bagendon area. If you require a faster service, we offer an express turnaround option for an additional fee.

What happens if the valuation comes in lower than the asking price?

If our independent valuation is lower than the asking price from the housing association, you have several options. You can negotiate with the housing association to reduce the price, you can challenge their valuation with our report as evidence, or you can decide whether to proceed at the original price understanding the implications for your mortgage and equity.

Will the valuation affect my mortgage approval?

Yes, the valuation directly impacts your mortgage approval. Mortgage lenders use the valuation to determine how much they are willing to lend you. If the valuation is lower than the purchase price, the lender may offer a smaller mortgage, meaning you would need to increase your deposit or negotiate a lower purchase price.

Do you provide valuations for staircasing purposes?

Absolutely. We regularly provide valuations for existing shared owners looking to staircase (increase their share percentage) in the Bagendon and Cirencester area. These valuations follow the same process as initial purchase valuations and are accepted by all major housing associations operating in Gloucestershire.

What factors influence property values in Bagendon specifically?

Several factors are particularly relevant to Bagendon properties. The village's position within the Cotswold AONB means properties benefit from the protected landscape setting. The use of traditional Cotswold stone construction adds premium value. Period features such as original fireplaces, flagstone floors, and exposed beams are highly sought after. Proximity to Cirencester and good transport links to the M4 and M5 also influence values positively.
