Shared Ownership Valuation in Penton Mewsey

A shared ownership valuation is a specialised assessment carried out by a RICS registered valuer to determine the market value of your shared ownership property. This differs from a standard property valuation because it requires valuation of both the full market value of the property and the percentage share that you own. Housing associations and mortgage lenders need this information for various transactions including staircasing (where you buy additional shares), selling your share on the open market, or remortgaging your existing share. The calculation involves determining the full open market value and then calculating your proportionate share based on the equity percentage you currently hold.

Shared ownership properties require a different approach to valuation compared to standard market transactions. When you own just 25% to 75% of a property, the valuation must account for the shared ownership lease structure, the remaining lease term, and the specific requirements of your housing association. Our valuers understand these complexities and will ensure your report meets all regulatory requirements while providing an accurate assessment of your property value.

The Test Valley housing market has experienced notable changes recently, with average sold prices in Penton Mewsey falling around 28% over the past twelve months according to recent data.

A professional valuation ensures you are not overpaying when staircasing or receiving less than market value when selling your share.
