A shared ownership valuation is specifically required when you own part of a property through a shared ownership scheme and need to determine the current market value of either your share or the entire property. These valuations differ from standard mortgage valuations because they must account for leasehold terms, housing association restrictions, and the specific rules governing shared ownership properties. The valuation calculates both the full market value of the property and the value of your specific share, which is essential for staircasing applications, selling your share, or remortgaging.

We use recent comparable sales data from Hoo St. Werburgh and the surrounding Medway villages to ensure your valuation reflects the true local market.
The valuation report we provide is RICS compliant and meets all the requirements of your housing association and mortgage lender.
