Both staircasing and selling your share typically require a RICS Level 2 Valuation, as both scenarios need a formal assessment of the property's full market value. The key difference is how the housing association uses the valuation figure. For staircase, it's used to calculate the premium you'll pay for the additional share. For sale, it sets the price at which your share will be marketed. Our reports clearly state the full market value and your percentage equity, usable for either purpose.
