Frequently asked
What is a RICS Valuation Report?
An independent, written market value opinion from a RICS-registered valuer. Used for lending, probate, matrimonial, tax (CGT/IHT), private sale, shared ownership staircasing and dispute resolution.
Is a valuation the same as a survey?
No — a valuation gives you a market value figure, not a structural inspection. If you want condition information, choose a Level 2 or Level 3 survey instead.
How much does a valuation cost?
Typically £300–£700 depending on property type, location and purpose. Fixed price upfront.
How fast is the report?
Quote within the hour. Inspection 3–5 working days. Written report typically within 3–5 working days of inspection.
Will it be accepted by my lender / HMRC / solicitor?
Yes — reports are produced by RICS-registered valuers in line with the RICS Red Book, which is the recognised standard for lenders, HMRC and the courts.
