Market value is often a broader estimate gained by reference to other sales of similar property or possessions. Often the market value is fine and is a true indication of what that item is worth.
• Residential Rental Valuation
  A market rent valuation will provide a professional opinion of rental value for a property taking into consideration a number of factors, including comparing rental rates being paid for similar properties in the same area in the same condition.
• Help to Buy Valuation
  A Help to Buy Valuation is used for assessing the value of a property bought with the help-to-buy scheme. With an independent RICS registered valuer, the valuation is needed when you are looking to repay the Government backed loan, remortgage or sell the property.
• Affordable Sale or Rent Valuation (Section 106 Valuation)
  The Section 106 Agreement attached to your property will normally provide the information you need to sell your house, including; obtaining a valuation, stating the maximum percentage of the market value you are able to advertise and sell your home. It is the norm now that in order to ensure the value of the property is a fair market value that is must be provided by a RICS Registered Valuer.
• Planning Financial Viability Valuation
  The most common uses for financial viability valuations are for development management (including affordable housing, enabling development, land use, Section 106 Agreement planning obligations) and plan making (policy and CIL viability testing).
