UK Investment Visas

Valuation

The UK, like any other country in the world, has various requirements and limitations in respect to non-citizen’s living and working arrangements. As we are part of the European Union (for the time being anyway) workers from within this economic area benefit from the operation of what is an internal/single market which allows free movement of goods, capital, services and people between member states.

For workers outside of the area obtaining a visa is subject to meeting certain criteria and one method that is prevalent is called a Tier 1 (Investor) visa. A person can apply for a Tier 1 (Investor) visa if they have invested £2,000,000 or more in the UK in the form of Government Bonds, company shares or property. As the latter can make up part of the £2,000,000, either as part of a new application or to receive an extension of an existing one, a valuation of the property or asset(s) held by the individual will often be required. Such a valuation would have to be undertaken by an RICS Chartered Surveyor and be governed by the guidance of the body’s Red Book which ultimately means that the valuation figure report should be that of the surveyor’s impartial opinion.

Peter Barry Surveyors have undertaken a number of valuations of this type so should you or your client need such services please contact us by email or telephone 020 7183 2578.

I'm very happy with the service provided. Communication was great and they were quick to deliver the report. Would happily recommend.
Efficient and professional service provided by Trina and Amrita when arranging a party wall agreement between ourselves and our neighbours prior to building works. Happy to recommend.
Steve Hobbs, chartered RICS surveyor, visited our property in East Finchley for a ‘red book’ Probate valuation. Everything went as planned and the report was produced within the stated timescale. The office staff were also very helpful. The prices was competitive. Thanks.
We were delighted with the service we received from Peter Barry - prompt, efficient and very professional.
Very pleased with our survey from John - very thorough, easy to understand and delivered on time - thank you!
Matthew came on time to video and take pics of my house and Party Wall before my neighbour starts work next week on his Extension. He was not only polite and charming but also very efficient and thorough in his investigation. Therefore, would be happy to hire his services again.
