Why Property Valuations Are Crucial
Property valuations are an essential part of both buying and selling processes. For buyers, a reliable valuation can help you avoid overpaying for a property, ensuring it holds its value in the long run. For sellers, it guarantees that you set a competitive yet realistic sale price.
At AMS Surveys, we assess all factors that influence property value, including internal and external conditions, size, fixtures, and age. We specialise in providing accurate valuations based on the market in the North, covering cities like Liverpool, Manchester, and Chester. Depending on your needs, we offer a range of valuation options to ensure you receive the best advice. Simply contact us to learn more.
WHAT DOES THE RICS VALUATION INCLUDE?
Our RICS Red Book property valuations offer a comprehensive assessment of your property. Here’s what you can expect from our detailed reports:
-
Inspection by a local RICS-certified surveyor
-
Overview of the property, including construction, location, and accommodation
-
A detailed condition report with photographs
-
Details of comparable properties recently sold in the area
-
A full valuation with evidence and assumptions outlined
AMS Surveys is fully independent of any estate agency or mortgage lender. We ensure transparency by conducting a full conflict-of-interest check upon inspection, and all reports are signed by a member of the RICS.
UNDERSTANDING THE VALUATION REPORT
Whilst the valuation does take into consideration any major defects and their effect on value, the valuation report is not an in-depth survey and an inspection relating to the condition of the property is not undertaken. If significant defects are apparent, you would be advised to undertake a more in-depth survey and condition survey report.
If a full Structural Survey is required, we’ll go the extra mile to offer unbiased, factual information that allows you to take the right step for your circumstances. Irrespective of the service you decide to choose, AMS Surveys will cut through the jargon and provide straightforward solutions that encompass everything you need.
Types of Valuations We Provide
At AMS Surveys, we offer a variety of property valuation services, tailored to meet different needs. Here are some of the most common types:
INDEPENDENT MARKET VALUATIONS
This type of report identifies serious defects and establishes the reinstatement value for insurance purposes, providing you with a true reflection of your property’s value.
PROBATE/INHERITANCE TAX VALUATIONS
When a property owner passes away, a valuation is required to determine the value of their estate for tax purposes. Our valuation helps calculate Inheritance Tax liabilities and ensures that probate can be granted smoothly.
INSURANCE REINSTATEMENT VALUATIONS
Many property owners are unaware of the correct rebuild cost for their property. Our valuations ensure you are not under-insured, protecting you in the event of claims for fire, flood, or other damages.
HELP TO BUY VALUATIONS
Property owners who bought their homes through the Help to Buy scheme must have a valuation when selling. This is to determine the amount that needs to be repaid on the loan, which is based on the property’s market value at the time of sale.
SHARED OWNERSHIP STAIRCASING VALUATIONS
For shared ownership properties, an updated and independent RICS valuation is required when purchasing additional equity (staircasing). This ensures that the property is valued fairly, disregarding any improvements made by the landlord.
MATRIMONIAL SETTLEMENT / DIVORCE VALUATIONS
In divorce proceedings, property valuations are vital to ensure a fair financial settlement. Whether it’s the matrimonial home or other assets, an impartial valuation ensures that both parties can proceed with a just division.
