Frequently Asked Questions – RICS Valuations in Leicester

 

What is a RICS valuation?

A RICS valuation is an independent property valuation prepared by a RICS Registered Valuer in accordance with the RICS Valuation – Global Standards (Red Book). It provides an objective assessment of value based on inspection, market evidence, and professional judgement.

Do I need a RICS Registered Valuer?

Yes. Many lenders, courts, solicitors, and HMRC require valuations to be completed by a RICS Registered Valuer. Registered Valuers are regulated by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and are subject to regular audit to ensure compliance and accuracy.

What types of RICS valuations do you provide in Leicester?

Are probate valuations prepared in accordance with HMRC requirements?

Yes. Probate valuations are prepared in line with RICS Red Book standards and are suitable for submission to HMRC. Comparable market evidence is carefully analysed to support the valuation figure.

What is the difference between a valuation and a survey?

A valuation provides an opinion of market value based on a limited inspection. It is not a structural survey and does not include a detailed assessment of condition, defects, or repair costs. A building survey should be instructed if advice on condition is required.
