What is your property's market value? To answer this, I consider the property itself, the available evidence and the market. I combine my civil engineering expertise with property valuation experience to help you make informed decisions.

What does property market value mean?
Market value is an estimate of what a property would exchange for at a particular date, following appropriate marketing, between independent, informed parties acting freely. It relies on defined assumptions and does not guarantee the eventual sale price.
An asking price reflects a seller's expectations. Before using it as comparable evidence, I assess it against the property’s location, characteristics and marketing circumstances.
Reference: IVSC — Market Value definition.
How do I approach a property valuation?
- Purpose and scope. I clarify the intended use, property interest and valuation date with you.
- Property information. I review the available documents and identify the inspection and investigations required.
- Market evidence. I assess comparables alongside location, size, condition, use and development potential.
- Reasoned conclusion. I select suitable methods and present the evidence, assumptions and valuation conclusion.
When is a valuation useful?
Valuations support purchase and sale decisions, asset management, and the consideration of lending or financial reporting requirements. If a bank or another named recipient will use the report, I clarify its requirements with you before accepting the instruction.
Frequently asked questions
What information is needed initially?
Start with the location, property type, floor area and valuation purpose. Depending on the assignment, title documents, plans, planning information and tenancy details may be needed. I tailor the document list to your property.
What does it cost and how long does it take?
I determine my fee and the timescale based on the property type and location, available information and scope of work. Get in touch with me to discuss the assignment and receive a specific proposal.
Is a price per square metre enough?
A general rate does not capture a property's individual characteristics. I therefore assess comparable evidence and relevant differences as an essential part of my work.
