Shared Ownership Valuation in Wymondham

A shared ownership valuation is a specialised RICS assessment that determines the current market value of your property and the percentage equity you own. This is fundamentally different from a standard mortgage valuation, as it must account for the unique leasehold nature of shared ownership properties and any restrictions imposed by the housing association. Our valuers calculate both the full market value and your proportionate share, which is essential for any transaction involving your equity. The report serves multiple purposes including staircase calculations, remortgage proceedings, and open market sales.

In Wymondham, where property prices have shown resilience with a 1.2% increase over the past year despite wider market fluctuations, obtaining an accurate valuation is crucial for financial planning. Whether you are considering staircase purchases to increase your share from 25% to 50% or higher, or you are preparing to sell your share on the open market, the valuation must reflect current local market conditions. Our reports are accepted by all major housing associations including Flagship Homes, Heylo Housing, and Saffron Housing Trust, as well as mortgage lenders operating in the shared ownership sector. The NR18 postcode area has seen 269 residential property sales in the last year, providing our valuers with substantial comparable sales data to draw upon.

Our valuation reports also consider the construction type and age of properties in Wymondham, which range from historic buildings dating back to the 14th century through to brand new homes on recent developments like The Alders by Taylor Wimpey.

Our valuers understand how these different construction types can affect value and condition, ensuring your report provides a comprehensive assessment of your property's market worth.
