A shared ownership valuation is a specialized assessment required by housing associations, mortgage lenders, and leasehold regulations when shared ownership property owners want to make changes to their ownership arrangement. Unlike a standard mortgage valuation which simply confirms the property is suitable security for a loan, a shared ownership valuation calculates the full open market value of the property and the value of the specific share being purchased or sold.
In Trunch and the wider North Norfolk area, shared ownership properties have become an important pathway to homeownership for many local residents. The valuation process involves our RICS-registered valuer inspecting the property inside and out, researching comparable sales in the local area, and producing a detailed report that Housing Associations and mortgage lenders accept for staircase calculations, remortgage applications, and resales.
Our valuers will assess factors including the property's condition, location, size, and the current state of the Trunch housing market. They will also consider any leasehold terms, service charges, and ground rent details that affect the property's overall value. This comprehensive approach ensures you receive an accurate valuation that reflects the true market position of your shared ownership home.
The valuation report includes several key elements that differentiate it from standard mortgage valuations. First, we determine the full open market value of the property as if it were sold outright on the open market. Second, we calculate the value of your specific share percentage. Third, we provide detailed comparable evidence from recent sales in the Trunch and North Norfolk area to support our valuation figure. This three-part approach is what housing associations require for any staircase calculation or resale valuation.

This market context creates both challenges and opportunities for shared ownership owners in the village.

Conversely, some buyers may find that properties are now more affordable than they were previously.

We have valued numerous properties in the NR28 postcode area and understand how the mix of detached and semi-detached properties, combined with the current market correction, impacts valuation calculations.

In Trunch, where property values have seen significant movement in recent years, getting an accurate staircase valuation is crucial for understanding how much additional equity you need to purchase.

If your property value has increased since purchase, you may be able to staircase to a higher share at a profit. Conversely, if values have decreased, you may find your share is worth less than when you purchased. In the Trunch area, where prices have fallen approximately 14% over the past year, many shared owners will see their property value reduced from purchase levels. A professional valuation gives you the accurate, current picture needed for any decisions about staircasing, holding your current share, or selling on the open market.
Yes, when remortgaging a shared ownership property, your new lender will require a valuation to assess the full market value and the value of your share. This is different from a standard remortgage valuation and must meet shared ownership specific requirements. The valuation report must clearly show the full market value of the property and the value of your specific share, as mortgage lenders need to understand the equity position in your home before approving the remortgage.
Staircasing allows you to purchase additional shares in your shared ownership property, typically in increments of 10% or more, until you own 100% of the property. The price you pay for additional shares is calculated based on the current full market value of the property at the time of staircasing. In the current Trunch market, with average prices around £295,000, each 10% share would cost approximately £29,500, though this varies depending on your specific property value. Our valuation report is accepted by all major housing associations operating in North Norfolk.
If you wish to sell your share rather than staircase to full ownership, you will need a valuation to determine the selling price of your percentage share. Housing associations typically have first refusal rights over your share, but if they do not purchase it, you can sell on the open market to another qualified buyer. Our valuation report provides the evidence needed to set a realistic asking price and satisfy your housing association requirements.
