How we value property in Shoreham
Property valuation is often described as a mixture between science and art. A good property valuer combines the mathematical analysis of comparable information, with the 'art' of adjusting the value to suit the specifics of the property.
We pride ourselves on the quality and accuracy of our valuations. Unlike an estate agent's value - which is usually a speculative figure - our reports will tell you the real market value, or the asset value for your balance sheets. As independent experts, we can provide valuations in Shoreham for a variety of purposes, from probate to taxation, matrimonial to private peace of mind.
Probate and Matrimonial Valuations
Probate estate valuations are essential to assessing whether inheritence tax is payable after the death of the owner. The value of money, possessions and property need to be established before the grant of representation can be established, so a property valuer who can work efficiently, accurately and reliably is essential. Richard is an expert in probate valuation proceedings across Shoreham and provides a sensitive service in such a difficult time.
Matrimonial valuations are required when a marriage comes to its end and the assets are divided between the parties. It is essential to instruct a chartered surveyor who is registered as a valuer to calculate the market value of the shared home, and any investment properties also owned, as not doing so can leave you at a significant disadvantage in the settlement negotiations. As with the probate valuation process, Richard is an expert at handling matrimonial valuation instructions in Shoreham sensitively and diplomatically, especially when acting as a joint valuer for both parties.
