Whether you’re buying, selling, refinancing or need an accurate understanding of a property’s value, a professional valuation provides the independent insight you need to make informed decisions.

Our experienced surveyors consider the property’s condition, location, size, characteristics and comparable market evidence to provide a reliable and impartial valuation.

What is a Property Valuation Survey?

A property valuation survey provides an independent assessment of a property’s market value at a specific point in time.

Unlike a RICS Home Survey, which focuses primarily on the condition of a property and identifies defects or maintenance issues, a valuation is specifically designed to establish what the property is worth.

Our surveyors assess the property alongside relevant market evidence, including recent comparable transactions and local market conditions, to arrive at a considered professional valuation.

FAQs

What is a property valuation survey?

A property valuation survey is a professional assessment of a property’s market value at a specific point in time. The surveyor considers factors such as the property’s size, condition, location, characteristics and relevant comparable market evidence.

How is a property valuation survey different from a RICS Home Survey?

A property valuation survey focuses primarily on establishing the property’s value. A RICS Home Survey focuses on the condition of the property, including defects, risks and potential repair requirements.

Do I need a property valuation survey when buying a house?

Not always, but an independent valuation can be useful if you want greater confidence that the price you are paying reflects the property’s market value. It can be particularly useful where the property is unusual, the purchase price is difficult to benchmark or you require an independent professional opinion.

Is a property valuation the same as an estate agent valuation?

No. An estate agent valuation is typically provided to help determine a potential asking price when marketing a property. A professional property valuation survey provides an independent assessment based on market evidence and professional surveying judgement.

What does a surveyor look at during a property valuation?

The surveyor may consider the property’s type, size, layout, age, construction, general condition, location, surrounding area and any characteristics that could influence its value. Comparable property transactions and wider market conditions may also be considered.

How long does a property valuation survey take?

Reports are typically issued within a few working days following the inspection.

How much does a property valuation survey cost?

The cost of a property valuation survey depends on factors including the property’s size, type, location and complexity, as well as the purpose of the valuation. Contact PM+ with your property details for a tailored quote.
