What is a Shared Ownership Valuation?

A shared ownership valuation is a specialist survey required by mortgage lenders and housing associations when you want to staircase (increase your share), sell your share, or remortgage your shared ownership property. Unlike a standard mortgage valuation, this provides a detailed market assessment of your specific equity share and the property's full market value.

In Crawley, where the average flat price sits around £216,000 and terraced properties average £345,000, understanding your exact equity position is crucial. Our RICS registered valuers have extensive experience with local developments and understand how factors like proximity to Gatwick Airport, the ongoing regeneration of the town centre, and new housing developments impact property values.

The valuation report includes the current market value of your property, the value of your owned share, the minimum share percentage required by your housing association, and any service charges or ground rent considerations that affect the overall valuation. This comprehensive assessment ensures all parties have clear, professional documentation for their decisions.
