Frequently Asked Questions

What is a shared ownership valuation?

A shared ownership valuation is a RICS regulated assessment of your property's current market value conducted by a qualified valuer. It is required when staircasing to buy more shares, selling your share, or remortgaging. The valuation determines the price at which the property would sell on the open market, which then calculates the value of the share being purchased or sold. In Cantley, where the average property price is around £241,250, this valuation is crucial for determining accurate equity figures for shared owners looking to increase their stake or sell their share.

How much does a shared ownership valuation cost in Cantley?

Our shared ownership valuations in Cantley start from £350 for properties up to £200,000. For properties valued between £200,001 and £300,000, the fee is £400, and properties between £300,001 and £400,000 cost £450. Higher value properties require a custom quote. The fee includes the inspection, comprehensive market research covering recent Cantley and Doncaster sales, and the formal RICS valuation report delivered within 5-7 working days. We believe in transparent pricing with no hidden fees.

How long does the valuation take?

The inspection itself typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on property size and complexity. After the inspection, we deliver the formal valuation report within 5-7 working days. This timeframe allows for thorough market research and report preparation to ensure accuracy. In Cantley, where market conditions have shown -3% annual change, our valuers take care to ensure comparables are current and relevant to your specific location and property type.

What happens during the valuation inspection?

Our valuer will conduct a thorough inspection of your property, measuring the accommodation and assessing the overall condition including all rooms, bathrooms, kitchen, and any extensions or alterations. They will note any improvements, alterations, or defects, and photograph key features for the report. The valuer will also review the lease documentation if available, examining the terms of your shared ownership lease and any restrictions. Following the inspection, we research comparable sales in the Cantley area and broader DN postcode to determine the market value.

Will the valuation be accepted by my housing association?

Yes, our RICS regulated valuations are accepted by all housing associations and UK lenders. We follow the RICS Valuation - Global Standards and UK National Supplement, ensuring the report meets the requirements of all stakeholders in shared ownership transactions. Our team has experience working with various housing associations and understands their specific documentation requirements. We can also accommodate any additional information requests from your housing association during the process.

Can I staircase to 100% ownership with this valuation?

Yes, a shared ownership valuation from our RICS registered valuers can be used for staircasing to any level of ownership, including 100% (full ownership). The valuation determines the full market value, from which your percentage share is calculated to determine the purchase price for additional shares. In the current Cantley market, where prices are 3% down on last year, staircasing may present opportunities to purchase additional shares at potentially lower costs than during the 2022 market peak. We can provide advice on how current market conditions might affect your staircasing decisions.

What factors affect my shared ownership valuation in Cantley?

Several factors specific to Cantley can affect your valuation, including the current market trend (3% down year-on-year), property type (detached, semi-detached, terraced, or flat), location within Cantley (some streets like Cantley Lane have experienced more significant price drops), the condition of the property, any improvements or alterations made, the remaining lease length, and any restrictions in your shared ownership lease. New build properties in areas like Everingham Place may also be affected by builder incentives and warranty considerations.

How is the valuation report used in staircasing?

When staircasing, the valuation report provides the official market value of your property, which determines the price you will pay for additional shares. For example, if your property is valued at £241,250 and you currently own a 50% share worth £120,625, staircasing to 75% ownership would require payment of an additional £120,625 (25% of the full valuation). The report is submitted to your housing association, who will use it to calculate the purchase price for your additional shares and arrange the legal documentation.
