Why BN11 Property Owners Need Professional Valuations

The Worthing property market has experienced notable changes in recent years, with BN11 house prices currently sitting 12% below their 2023 peak of £344,666. However, the BN11 2 postcode sector has shown resilience with 11.9% growth in the last year. These market dynamics make professional valuations even more important for shared ownership homeowners looking to make informed decisions about their property.

Our valuers understand the nuances of the local market, including how the mix of property types in BN11 affects valuations. Flats represent a significant portion of the housing stock in certain areas, while terraced and semi-detached properties dominate other neighbourhoods. This diversity means that comparable evidence must be carefully selected to ensure accuracy.

Worthing's appeal as a coastal town with excellent transport links continues to attract buyers, which supports the shared ownership market. Developments like Wharf Twenty One offer new shared ownership apartments, while the existing housing stock provides opportunities for those looking to staircase to full ownership. Our valuations reflect these local market conditions, giving you confidence in the figure provided.

Frequently Asked Questions About Shared Ownership Valuations in BN11

What is a shared ownership valuation?

A shared ownership valuation is an official RICS assessment of your property's current market value, specifically required by housing associations when you want to purchase additional shares (staircase) or when remortgaging. The valuation determines both the full market value and the percentage equity share you currently own, calculating the premium required for any additional shares you wish to purchase.

How much does a shared ownership valuation cost in BN11?

Our shared ownership valuations in BN11 start from £199 including VAT. The final price depends on property type and size. Flats typically cost less than houses, while larger properties may require a higher fee. We provide fixed-price quotes upfront with no hidden charges.

How long is a shared ownership valuation valid?

Most housing associations require a valuation to be no more than 3-6 months old for staircasing purposes. If you are remortgaging, your lender will specify their own validity period, typically ranging from 3 to 6 months. Market conditions in Worthing can change, so using a recent valuation is essential.

What happens if my property value has decreased?

If the valuation shows your property is worth less than when you purchased it, this can affect your ability to staircase or remortgage. However, our valuers assess properties based on current market conditions in BN11, and we provide detailed comparables to support our figures. If you believe there are errors in the valuation, we can discuss the appeals process with you.

Can I use my valuation for remortgaging?

Yes, our RICS valuations are accepted by most mortgage lenders for shared ownership remortgaging purposes. However, you should confirm with your chosen lender that they accept independent RICS valuations for shared ownership properties, as some may require their own valuation.

What information do I need to provide for the valuation?

You will need to provide details of any improvements made to the property, such as extensions, renovations, or new fittings. Your lease documentation and shared ownership certificate are also helpful. Our valuer will also need access to all rooms, the loft space if accessible, and any communal areas for flats.
