Shared Ownership Valuation in Bridgend - RICS Certified Surveyors

A shared ownership valuation is a specialised assessment required when you want to buy additional shares in your property (known as staircasing), remortgage your current share, or make changes to your shared ownership agreement. Unlike standard mortgage valuations, this report provides a detailed market valuation that determines the current worth of your property in full, which then calculates the value of your specific share. The report is essential for housing associations like Trivallis and other registered providers to calculate the correct purchase price for additional shares or to approve remortgage applications.

In Bridgend, shared ownership properties are typically sold through housing associations operating in the Wales region, including schemes managed by organisations like Trivallis and other registered providers. These properties span various types, from one-bedroom flats in the town centre to three-bedroom houses in residential suburbs like Cefn Glas and Tondu. Our valuers are familiar with the documentation requirements of these housing associations and can provide reports that meet their specific criteria. We ensure all reports comply with RICS standards and include the detailed market analysis that lenders and housing associations require.

The valuation process involves a thorough inspection of your property by one of our RICS-certified valuers, who will measure all rooms, assess the condition of the building, and note any improvements you have made. We then research recent comparable sales in your specific area of Bridgend, considering local market trends and the unique characteristics of your property type. This comprehensive approach ensures your valuation accurately reflects the current Bridgend market, whether your property is a modern development or a period home in the conservation area.

One of our RICS-certified valuers will visit your Bridgend property to conduct a thorough inspection. During the inspection, we measure all rooms, note the property's condition, and photograph various aspects of the home for the report. The valuer will check the general condition of the building, any improvements you have made, and identify any issues that might affect the value. For properties in areas like the Bridgend Town Centre Conservation Area, we pay particular attention to any period features or historic elements that may add value. The inspection typically takes between 30 and 60 minutes depending on the size and complexity of your property.

After the inspection, our valuer conducts extensive market research to determine your property's accurate market value. We analyse recent comparable sales in your specific area of Bridgend, considering current market trends and the unique characteristics of your property. This includes examining sales data for similar properties in neighbourhoods across Bridgend, from the town centre to surrounding areas like Maesteg, Porthcawl, and Pencoed. Your detailed valuation report is then prepared and delivered within 5-7 working days, fully compliant with RICS standards and ready for your lender or housing association.
