Another significant development in the broader area is Pentref Llewelyn, being built by David Wilson Homes and Barratt Homes in nearby Penllergaer. While not directly in Gorseinon, this development serves buyers looking in the SA4 postcode area and represents another option for those seeking new build shared ownership properties. Our valuers are familiar with both developments and understand the specific considerations for valuing properties in these new communities, including the impact of developer premiums and the value of included specifications and warranties.
New build properties often require specific valuation considerations, including assessments of standard specification items, warranty coverage, and potential premiums or discounts associated with brand-new construction. Our valuers have experience assessing new build properties throughout Swansea and Carmarthenshire and understand how to accurately value these homes for shared ownership purposes. They will consider factors such as the quality of construction, the completeness of the development, and any ongoing site works that might affect the property's value.
When purchasing a new build shared ownership property, your mortgage lender will require a valuation to confirm the property's market value matches the purchase price. This is particularly important for new builds, where prices can sometimes reflect developer premiums. Our thorough approach ensures you are not overpaying for your share and that the valuation accurately reflects the property's true market worth. We compare the purchase price against comparable new build and existing properties in the area to ensure the valuation is fair and accurate.

The valuation report must be conducted by a RICS registered valuer to be accepted by your mortgage lender, and our reports meet all required standards for shared ownership transactions in this area.
