What is a Shared Ownership Valuation?

A shared ownership valuation is a specialist assessment required when you want to increase your equity share in a shared ownership property, commonly known as "staircasing." Housing associations and mortgage lenders require this valuation to determine the current market value of your property and calculate the price you'll pay for additional shares. In Crowthorne, where shared ownership properties have become increasingly popular, particularly around the Edrich Grange development, having an accurate valuation is essential for making informed decisions about your property.

The valuation process involves a RICS registered surveyor inspecting your property and comparing it against recent sales of similar properties in the Crowthorne area. Our valuers use data from the RG45 6 and RG45 7 postcode sectors, which have shown contrasting trends - RG45 7 saw impressive 49% growth while RG45 6 experienced a 10.7% decline. This local expertise ensures your valuation reflects the specific conditions of your neighbourhood.

Whether you are staircasing to 75% or 100% ownership, or simply need a valuation for remortgaging purposes, we provide reports that satisfy all major UK mortgage lenders and housing associations. Our turnaround times are fast, and we offer competitive pricing starting from just £350 for standard properties in Crowthorne.

Important Information for Crowthorne Property Owners

If you are staircasing in Crowthorne, remember that you may need to pay a valuation fee each time you increase your share.

Understanding Shared Ownership in Crowthorne

Shared ownership has become an increasingly popular route onto the property ladder in Crowthorne, particularly for first-time buyers looking to get a foot on the property ladder in this desirable Bracknell Forest village. The scheme allows you to buy a share of your property (typically between 25% and 75%) and pay rent on the remaining portion to a housing association. One example we have seen in the area is a first-floor apartment offered at 50% equity of £225,000.

When you are ready to increase your ownership share, a RICS valuation is mandatory. This protects both you and the housing association by ensuring the price paid for additional shares reflects true market value. In a market like Crowthorne's, where property values have shown overall growth of 1.17% and detached properties average over £868,000, getting an accurate valuation is crucial for your financial planning.

Our valuers are familiar with all the housing associations operating in the Crowthorne area and understand their specific requirements. Whether your property is part of a larger development or a smaller shared ownership scheme, we ensure our reports meet all necessary regulatory standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a shared ownership valuation cover?

A shared ownership valuation includes a thorough inspection of your property, measuring all rooms and assessing the condition of the building, fixtures, and fittings. The valuer will also consider the age of the property, its location within Crowthorne, and any recent improvements you have made. The report includes a market value assessment based on comparable sales in the RG45 area.

How much does a shared ownership valuation cost in Crowthorne?

Our shared ownership valuations in Crowthorne start from £350 for standard properties. The exact fee depends on factors such as property type, size, and the complexity of the valuation. Flats and leasehold properties may require additional checks, which could affect the final price.

How long does the valuation process take?

The property inspection typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on the size of your property. You will receive your formal RICS valuation report within 3-5 working days of the inspection. If you need a faster turnaround, we offer an express service for an additional fee.

Do I need a RICS registered valuer?

Yes, all mortgage lenders and housing associations require valuations to be conducted by a RICS registered valuer. Using a non-RICS valuer will not be accepted by your lender and could delay your staircasing or remortgage application. All our valuers are fully RICS registered.

Can you help with staircasing to 100% ownership?

Absolutely. Staircasing to 100% ownership, also known as "staircasing to zero," requires a full market valuation of your property. Our RICS valuers can provide this valuation and can often handle the process directly with your housing association to make it as straightforward as possible for you.

What happens if my valuation is lower than expected?

If your valuation comes in lower than anticipated, this can affect how much you need to pay for additional shares or the amount you can borrow when remortgaging. Our valuers will always explain the comparable evidence used in your valuation so you understand how the figure was reached. If you disagree with the valuation, you can request a formal review.
