Valuations
We provide RICS Red Book valuations for a range of purposes. Please contact us to discuss your individual requirements.
Help-to-Buy
If you are in the process of selling your house purchased under the Help-to-Buy scheme, considering remortgaging, or planning to repay your Help to Buy loan, Skylark Surveyors can provide a market valuation by an RICS registered valuer. Please complete the form below for an instant quote.
Introduced by the Government in 2013, Help to Buy has facilitated many individuals in taking their initial steps onto the property ladder. This shared equity scheme enables first-time buyers to borrow up to 20% (or 40% in London) of the cost of a new build property.
Meeting Homes England Requirements
Homes England set specific requirements that a valuation report must meet. To avoid delay it is important that these requirements are met with regard to comparables and reporting standards.
Prompt and Cost Effective
We understand that you do not wish to delay the process of redeeming your Help-to-Buy loan. Our inspection will be booked in soon after instruction and the report turned around shortly thereafter. Our valuation reports are competitively priced so as not to add too much additional expense.
Shared Ownership
If you wish to sell a shared ownership property, or purchase an additional share, a valuation is required in accordance with the RICS red book. We provide valuations for this purpose at competitive rates.
Accurate Reporting
When coming to sell a shared ownership property, the valuation is very important as if the value placed on the property is too low, you may loose out. Conversely, if the valuation is too high, the property may sit on the market and not sell.
Quick Turnaround Times
You do not want to have to wait weeks to receive your valuation report so that you can sell your property, or pay off extra shares. We will usually have availability within a week to carry out our inspection and the report will follow within a couple of days.
Cost Effective
Our Valuations are reasonably priced. If you would like to obtain a quotation please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Tax Valuations
Probate / Inheritance Tax Valuations
An Inheritance Tax or Probate valuation is required for use by the Executor in calculating any liability for Inheritance Tax. A valuation report prepared by an expert surveyor is favourable to that of an estate agent as an incorrect figure may be challenged by HMRC, complicating and delaying the grant of probate.
Capital Gains Tax Valuations
Capital Gains Tax (CGT) valuations may be required for a range of purposes for use in your accounting affairs. A valuation may be required at multiple dates such as at the time of the sale or gift, or as at 31st March 1982 if the property was purchased prior to this date.
