What should I be aware of when commissioning a valuation?
Do not rely on Estate Agent or Internet valuations if you require a professional opinion. Be cautious when relying on valuations provided by those with AssocRICS qualifications.
Our advantage
Many firms of valuers simply rely on market data such as the Land Registry to provide evidence.
We pride ourself on our relationship with Developers and Estate Agents, against whom we do not compete, which grants us access to a significant quantity of off-market data.

DID YOU KNOW ?
That prior to 1997 Prime Central London Landlords / Freeholders such as the Grosvenor Estate did not have to extend residential leases if they did not want to. Many people simply purchased 20 year leases and then vacated at the end of the term with the property reverting back to the Freeholder.
