Shared Ownership Valuation in Skegness

A shared ownership valuation is an independent RICS-registered assessment of your property's current market value. It is required by housing associations when you want to staircase (increase your equity share) or when you need to remortgage your shared ownership property. The valuation determines how much your property is worth in the current Skegness market, taking into account local conditions, recent sales of similar properties, and any unique features of your specific property.

Our shared ownership valuation services in Skegness start from £225 for a standard Open Market Valuation Report. This is competitive with local providers such as Chappell & Co. Surveyors Ltd who also offer valuations in the area. The final cost depends on property type and size, with larger properties or those in more complex situations potentially requiring additional fees. We provide transparent pricing with no hidden costs.

The property inspection typically takes 30-60 minutes depending on the size of your property. We aim to deliver your final valuation report within 3-5 working days of the inspection date. We offer same-day appointment availability where possible to accommodate your timeline. If you need your valuation urgently for a staircasing deadline, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate your requirements.

You will need to provide details of your current lease agreement, the share percentage you currently own, and any information about improvements you have made to the property. Your housing association may also require specific documentation such as service charge statements or ground rent receipts. Our team will guide you through the process when you book and provide a checklist of required documentation to ensure we have everything needed for an accurate valuation.

Property values in Skegness have shown some fluctuation, with home.co.uk reporting prices approximately 1% down on the previous year. If your valuation shows a decrease, this will affect the price you pay for additional shares when staircase. Our valuers provide accurate, independent assessments based on current market conditions, ensuring you have the correct figure for your transaction. While a decrease may mean paying less for additional shares, it is important to consider the long-term implications for your property investment.

Yes, our valuers have experience valuing properties in all new build developments across Skegness, including Lumley Fields on the A52. We understand that new build properties may have specific considerations such as warranty periods, snagging issues, and premium pricing for brand new properties. We compare your property against similar new builds that have sold in the area, as well as existing properties, to provide an accurate market valuation.

As a coastal town, Skegness has areas with elevated flood risk from both tidal sources and surface water. Our valuers consider flood risk as part of our overall assessment, looking at the property's specific location, any flood mitigation measures in place, and the property's elevation relative to nearby water sources. Properties with good flood resilience features or those in lower-risk areas of Skegness may not see significant impact on their valuation, while others may require more careful consideration.
