A shared ownership valuation is a specialist assessment carried out by a RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) qualified valuer to determine the current market value of your shared ownership property. This type of valuation is different from a standard mortgage valuation because it needs to account for the unique nature of shared ownership schemes, where you only own a percentage of the property and pay rent on the remaining share.
When you staircase (increase your share) or sell your share, the housing association and lender require an up-to-date valuation to determine the correct figures. Our valuers in Clydach understand the local market dynamics, including how property prices have performed in the SA6 area and what comparable sales have achieved in recent months. We provide comprehensive valuation reports that satisfy all relevant parties and help you proceed with your shared ownership journey.
The valuation process involves a thorough inspection of your property, research into recent sales of similar properties in the Clydach area, and analysis of current market conditions in Swansea. Our valuers will assess factors such as the property's condition, location, size, and any improvements you have made since purchasing. The final report provides a clear market valuation figure that can be used for staircase applications, remortgaging, or private sales.
Our valuers are RICS qualified and have extensive experience in valuing shared ownership properties throughout Swansea and the surrounding areas. We understand that a shared ownership valuation is not just about determining a number - it is about helping you understand your position in the property market and make informed decisions about your financial future.
In Clydach, where terraced properties have been the most commonly sold type in recent months and average prices hover around the £178,000 mark, having an accurate valuation is crucial.
