A shared ownership valuation is specifically required when you want to purchase additional shares in your property, known as staircasing, or when you need to remortgage your shared ownership home. Housing associations and mortgage lenders require a RICS-registered valuer to assess the full market value of your property to determine the correct price for any transaction. This ensures both buyer and seller have confidence in the valuation.
In Leek, shared ownership properties are available through several housing associations. The Daisy Haye development on Ball Haye Road offers retirement living apartments through Your Housing Group, with a 2-bedroom apartment available for £122,000 at 75% shared ownership. Understanding the specific nuances of these schemes and the local Leek market is essential for an accurate valuation that meets regulatory requirements.
Our valuers in Leek are familiar with the local housing stock, from historic properties in the conservation area to new builds at the Sunnyhills Road development. They consider factors such as property type, condition, location, and recent sales in the area when determining your property's full market value. This local knowledge is invaluable in providing a valuation that stands up to scrutiny from housing associations and lenders.

Contact us online or by phone to arrange your shared ownership valuation. We will confirm the appointment time and provide details of what you need to prepare.
Our RICS-registered valuer will visit your Leek property to conduct a thorough inspection. They will assess the property's condition, size, features, and compare it with similar properties sold in the area.
Within a few days of the inspection, you will receive your official RICS valuation report. This document is recognised by all housing associations and mortgage lenders and includes the full market value of your property.
If you are staircase, your housing association will use our valuation to calculate the price of additional shares. For remortgaging or selling, your lender or conveyancer will require the report for their processes.
If you are looking to staircase, remember that housing associations typically require a minimum initial share of 25% and allow you to increase in increments. Leek Building Society, which partners with shared ownership schemes, requires landlords to be regulated by the Regulator of Social Housing. Always check with your housing association for their specific staircase requirements before proceeding with a valuation.
Leek presents a unique property market with its blend of historic architecture and new developments. The town centre lies within a conservation area, retaining its medieval street pattern and buildings dating from the 15th century onwards. Meanwhile, the Sunnyhills Road development is bringing 143 new homes to the area. This mix of old and new creates complexities that require a valuer with local knowledge.
Our surveyors understand how these different property types affect valuation. A Victorian terrace near the market place will have a different value profile compared to a modern flat at Daisy Haye or a new build on the outskirts of town. We factor in location within the ST13 postcode, recent sales in your specific sector, and any unique characteristics of your property.
The ST13 postcode district, covering Leek and surrounding areas, saw average prices of £232,584 in the last year. However, there is significant variation between sectors, with ST13 6 seeing 8.5% growth while ST13 8 experienced a 2.8% decline. Our valuers use this granular local data to provide accurate valuations that reflect your specific location within Leek.
The Sunnyhills Road development is bringing 143 new homes to Leek, offering a mix of 2, 3, and 4-bedroom properties. Planning permission was approved in February 2023, and the development features distinctive materials reflecting the local Staffordshire character. If you have purchased a shared ownership property in this or similar new developments, we can provide a valuation reflecting the current new build market in Leek.
New build properties often require specific consideration in valuations, including any snagging issues, the remaining length of any builder's warranty, and comparison with other new build developments in the area. Our valuers are experienced in assessing new build properties and understand how to value them accurately within the Leek market context.
A shared ownership valuation is a RICS-registered assessment of your property's full market value. It is required when staircasing to purchase additional shares, remortgaging your shared ownership home, or selling your share on the open market. The valuation must be conducted by a qualified RICS surveyor to be recognised by housing associations and mortgage lenders.
Our shared ownership valuation service starts from £199 including VAT. The final cost depends on factors such as property type, size, and location within Leek. Larger properties or those in more complex locations may require additional work, but we always provide a clear quote before proceeding.
The property inspection typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on the size of your property. We aim to deliver your written valuation report within 3-5 working days of the inspection. If you need the report urgently, please let us know and we will try to accommodate your timeline.
If the valuation shows your property is worth less than you expected, this can affect how much you can staircase or the amount you can remortgage for. However, a lower valuation may also mean lower stamp duty costs if you are staircasing. Our valuers will explain the figures in your report and how they affect your specific situation.
Yes, you will need a RICS-registered valuation to staircase. Housing associations like Your Housing Group (who operate Daisy Haye) require an up-to-date valuation to calculate the price of additional shares. The cost of additional shares is based on the current full market value of your property.
