A shared ownership valuation differs from a standard mortgage valuation in that it must account for the unique leasehold structure of your property. The report will state the full open market value of your property, which is then used to calculate the value of your specific percentage share. This dual assessment is required by housing associations and mortgage lenders to ensure transparency in all transactions relating to shared ownership properties.
