Shared Ownership Valuation in EX16 (Tiverton)

Shared ownership valuations differ from standard mortgage valuations because they determine the full market value of a property and calculate what percentage of that value your initial share represents. In the EX16 area, where property types range from Victorian terraced houses in central Tiverton to modern detached homes in developments like Benson Grange in Witheridge, our valuers consider multiple factors including property condition, location, recent comparable sales, and local market trends. We examine properties on a room-by-room basis, noting any differences between the property and similar homes in the immediate vicinity.

When you purchase a shared ownership property, the housing association typically sets the initial share between 25% and 75% based on the property's full market value. For example, at the Benson Grange development in Witheridge, a four-bedroom detached house with a full market value of £415,000 would mean a 25% share costs £103,750. Our valuers ensure these figures accurately reflect current market conditions in the EX16 region. We also check that the property meets the specific requirements of the shared ownership scheme provider, as some developments may have restrictions on who can purchase.

The valuation process also considers the property's condition and any issues that might affect its value. Properties in conservation areas around Tiverton, such as the Grade II listed terrace on St Paul Street, may have specific considerations that impact their valuation. Our inspectors are familiar with the local area and understand how historical features and listed building status affect shared ownership valuations. We note any alterations that may have been made to the property and whether these have been properly approved by the relevant authorities.

For those looking to staircase (increase their ownership share), a new valuation is essential as market conditions can change significantly over time.
