A shared ownership valuation is a specialised assessment required when you want to increase your share (staircase), sell your share to another buyer, or remortgage your property. Unlike a standard mortgage valuation, this valuation determines the full market value of your property and calculates the percentage equity you own. Our RICS registered valuers conduct thorough inspections, comparing your property against recent sales of similar homes in Bardsey cum Rigton and the wider Leeds area to arrive at an accurate valuation figure. We examine multiple comparable transactions to ensure our assessment reflects true market conditions.
