A shared ownership valuation is a specialised RICS assessment required when you want to purchase additional shares in your property (known as staircasing), remortgage your shared ownership home, or sell your share on the open market. Unlike a standard mortgage valuation, this report provides a detailed market valuation that housing associations use to calculate the price of any additional shares you wish to purchase. The valuation examines your property's current market value, compares it against similar properties in the Didcot area, and provides documentation that satisfies both mortgage lenders and housing association requirements.
Our valuers conduct a thorough inspection of your property, measuring rooms, assessing the condition of the building fabric, and noting any features that affect value. We then analyse recent sales data from the OX11 area, including properties in developments like Nobel Park and Willowbrook Park, to determine an accurate market value. This comparative approach ensures our valuations reflect real market conditions in Didcot.
Properties in OX11 have seen prices adjust recently, with Rightmove data showing a 4% decrease from the 2022 peak of £405,630. This makes accurate valuations particularly important for owners looking to staircase, as the price you pay for additional shares is directly linked to the current market value. Whether you live in a modern development like Nobel Park or in one of Didcot's established terraced neighbourhoods, our surveyors have the local knowledge to provide an accurate assessment.
We cover all shared ownership properties across Didcot, including areas served by housing associations active in Oxfordshire. Our reports are formatted to meet the specific requirements of each housing association, whether you are working with Clarion, Stonewater, or other providers operating in the region.

Yes, whenever you want to purchase additional shares in your shared ownership property, your housing association will require a current RICS valuation to calculate the price of the extra shares.

Yes, our RICS valuers regularly assess properties on all major Didcot new build developments including Nobel Park, Willowbrook Park and The Oaks at Hadden.

If the valuation shows your Didcot property is worth less than when you purchased it, this affects both staircasing costs and potential sale prices. With OX11 prices around 4% below the 2022 peak of £405,630, this is a common situation that many shared ownership owners face. The valuation report provides official documentation for all parties, and your housing association will use this figure to calculate any staircase purchase costs. If you are selling your share, the lower valuation may affect the price you receive, though you will receive a percentage of the sale price based on your ownership share.
You will need to provide documentation including your original shared ownership lease agreement, any previous valuation reports, and details of improvements you have made to the property. Our team will request these documents when you book the valuation. It helps if you can provide evidence of any bathroom or kitchen replacements, extensions, or other significant improvements that might add value to your Didcot home.
If you are remortgaging, the valuation determines how much your lender is willing to offer against your property. A higher valuation can improve your loan-to-value ratio, potentially securing better mortgage rates. Our valuation report gives you the official market value figure that lenders require, helping you make informed decisions about your mortgage options. For staircasing, the valuation directly determines how much you will pay for additional shares.
