Valuation

A market valuation gives a professional opinion of the value of an asset at a specific date in relation to the current market. The valuer will take into consideration property attributes such as size, specification and location along with market trends to form an opinion of value.

Although a desktop or drive-by valuation can be undertaken in some cases, a valuation usually requires a visit to the subject property where the valuer can obtain the appropriate information. Inspections for valuation purposes usually last between 20 and 40 minutes and will require access internally.

Smart Home Surveys provide bespoke valuations for a range of purposes. Please see our list of valuation services below:

1. How can we help you today?

Select all the options that apply to you and we'll get back to you with a comprehensive quotation. If your query is not covered by the options below, select "Other" and write a brief description of the service you require in Section 4.

You may require a valuation for a different date from the current market value, or need two valuations for different dates. For example:

  • For Inheritance Tax or Probate, you will normally need the date of decease
  • For CGT you may need two dates so that the gain can be calculated
  • For CGT and ATED purposes, you may need the valuation as at the end of the tax year

If you are uncertain, leave the dates blank and one of our advisers will give you a call to discuss your requirements.
