Frequently Asked Questions

What is a shared ownership valuation?

A shared ownership valuation is a specialist assessment of your property's market value, specifically calculated for the share you own. Unlike a standard mortgage valuation, it determines the value of your equity share and is used for staircasing, selling your share, or remortgaging. The valuation considers the full market value of the property and applies the percentage share to calculate your share's worth. Our valuers also factor in the remaining lease term, any service charges, and the specific terms of your housing association agreement when determining the final valuation.

How much does a shared ownership valuation cost in DE74?

Our shared ownership valuations in DE74 start from £350 for a basic share valuation. The exact cost depends on the type of valuation you need and the size of your property. Full property valuations for remortgaging purposes typically cost more than basic share valuations because they include a more comprehensive property assessment. You can get an instant quote online or speak to our team who will be happy to discuss your specific requirements and provide a competitive quote tailored to your needs.

How long does the valuation take?

The on-site inspection typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on the size and complexity of your property. After the inspection, your report will be delivered within 5-7 working days.

We have valuers based locally who know the Derbyshire property market intimately.

Can I use this valuation for staircasing?

Absolutely. Our shared ownership valuations are specifically designed for the staircasing process.

What happens if my property value has changed since I bought it?

Do I need a valuation if I'm remortgaging my shared ownership property?
