A shared ownership valuation differs from standard mortgage valuations in several important respects. Our RICS registered valuers assess your property based on current market conditions, the percentage equity you currently hold, and comparable sales data specific to shared ownership properties in Farnham Royal and Buckinghamshire. This specialized approach ensures you receive an accurate assessment that meets the specific requirements of housing associations and mortgage lenders.
The valuation report we provide covers the full market value of your property, the percentage equity belonging to the leaseholder, and the calculated share value. This information is essential for staircasing applications where you wish to increase your ownership percentage, or when preparing your property for resale on the shared ownership market. Our reports are formatted to meet the exacting standards required by all major housing associations operating in the region.
Our valuers will arrange a convenient inspection time that fits your schedule. During the visit, they will assess the property's condition, measure the floor area, and take photographs for their report. The completed valuation is typically delivered within 5-7 working days, though expedited services are available for those requiring faster turnaround. We understand that timing can be critical, particularly when working towards staircasing deadlines or planned property sales.
During the inspection, our valuer will examine all key aspects of your property including the overall condition, any extensions or modifications, the quality of fixtures and fittings, and the general maintenance of both the interior and exterior. They will also note any potential issues that might affect value, such as nearby development sites, environmental factors, or changes in the local area that could impact future property values. This thorough approach ensures your valuation report provides a complete picture of your property's worth.
