Questions people ask
Is a RICS valuation the same as a market appraisal?
No. A RICS valuation is a formal written report for a specific purpose. A market appraisal is advice on asking price and selling strategy.
Do you still do Help to Buy valuations?
The Help to Buy equity loan scheme has closed to new applicants, but homeowners with an existing equity loan still need a RICS valuation to redeem it or sell. We can help with that.
Who carries out the valuation?
Valuations are carried out by an RICS Registered Valuer.
