What is a Shared Ownership Valuation?

A shared ownership valuation is a specialist assessment carried out by a RICS qualified valuer to determine the market value of your shared ownership property. Unlike a standard mortgage valuation, this report calculates both the full market value of the property and the value of your specific equity share. Housing associations and mortgage lenders require this information to process staircasing applications, approve remortgages, or facilitate the resale of your share to new buyers.

The valuation process involves a physical inspection of the property, comparable sales analysis of similar homes in the Molescroft area, and consideration of factors such as the terms of your lease, the remaining lease duration, and any restrictions imposed by the housing association. Our valuers understand the complexities of shared ownership schemes and will provide a comprehensive report that meets the specific requirements of your housing provider.

In Molescroft, we see various types of shared ownership properties, from modern apartments in developments like The Paddocks to terraced houses in established residential areas. Each property type requires a tailored approach to valuation, taking into account local market trends, the condition of the property, and the demand for shared ownership homes in this part of the East Riding.
