How Our Valuation Process Works
Contact our team by phone or email to discuss your property valuation requirements. We will explain the process clearly and provide a fee quotation based on your needs.
Once instructed, we will issue our terms of business and arrange a convenient inspection with a Chartered Valuation Surveyor.
The surveyor will visit the property to carry out an inspection, recording details such as construction, accommodation, condition, layout, and measurements.
Following the inspection, comparable sales evidence will be analysed and a detailed written valuation report prepared. Reports are typically issued within four to five working days.
We remain available to assist with any follow up queries. Where required, we can also provide expert witness valuation services or liaise with HMRC and the District Valuer on your behalf.

Property Valuation FAQs
What is a property valuation?
A property valuation is a professional opinion of a property’s market value at a specific point in time, based on current market conditions and comparable sales evidence.
What does a property valuation involve?
Most residential valuations involve a physical inspection of the property followed by analysis of recent sales of similar properties in the local area. In some cases, a desktop valuation may be suitable where access is not available.
How is the value of a property determined?
Surveyors typically use the comparable method of valuation, reviewing recently sold properties and adjusting the evidence to reflect differences in size, condition, location, and specification.
When would I need a property valuation?
Valuations are commonly required for probate and inheritance tax, capital gains tax, divorce or separation, shared ownership staircasing, Help to Buy equity loan redemption, and before buying or selling a property.
Why instruct a Chartered Surveyor rather than an estate agent?
Estate agents can provide informal price estimates but are not qualified to produce formal valuation reports or provide independent professional advice.
Chartered Valuation Surveyors are regulated professionals who provide unbiased and fully researched valuation reports.
How much does a property valuation cost in St Albans?
Fees vary depending on the property, valuation purpose, and complexity of the instruction. Please contact our team for a tailored quotation.
