What is a London Property Valuation Report?

Market valuation, also known as house or property valuation report, is an estimate of the true value of a property on the market. A registered valuer, trained to rigorous RICS standards, will carry out a thorough inspection of the entire property in accordance with strict guidelines, to provide you with an accurate figure.

Market valuation reports briefly describe the overall condition of a home and also explain its size and location. The property’s value is determined by various factors including:

  • size
  • age
  • location
  • condition and defects
  • nearby services and amenities
  • outside space
  • parking
  • quality of fixtures and fittings

Unlike building surveys and the RICS HomeBuyer Reports, house valuations won’t inform you about defects nor how much it will cost to get them repaired. If you want to know much more about the property’s condition then you will require a qualified RICS surveyor to carry out the inspection.
