If you are considering staircasing to increase your share in a shared ownership property, getting a professional valuation is essential.

Our valuers understand the specific requirements of shared ownership schemes and ensure compliance with all regulatory requirements.
Shared ownership properties in Michelmersh and Timsbury operate under specific schemes administered by various housing associations. Whether you purchased through Places for People, Orbit, or another provider, the valuation process follows similar guidelines. The fundamental principle is that your property is valued at its full market value, and your ownership share represents a percentage of that total. When you wish to purchase additional shares through staircasing, the housing association uses this valuation to determine the price of the extra percentage.
The local housing market in Michelmersh and Timsbury has shown interesting trends recently. Properties in Upper Timsbury have seen a 9% increase in the past year, while broader Timsbury has experienced a 10% decline.

These variations underscore the importance of using a local valuer who understands the nuances of the Test Valley market and can accurately assess your property based on comparable evidence from your specific area.
For those looking to sell their shared ownership share, the process typically involves the housing association having first refusal.
