Residential Property Valuations in London
Adelaide Jones provides RICS Red Book-compliant residential valuations across London and the UK, with a primary focus on Prime Central London — Knightsbridge, Belgravia, Mayfair, Chelsea, and Kensington. Our valuations are accepted by all major UK mortgage lenders.
Our focus on Prime Central London means we hold an unrivalled volume of in-house transaction data — including off-market sales — giving clients a genuine intelligence advantage over firms relying solely on Land Registry data.

Tax Valuations
When HMRC requires evidence of value, only a formal RICS valuation will be accepted. An estate agent estimate or automated valuation is not sufficient.
Adelaide Jones provides RICS Red Book-compliant tax valuations for individuals, estates, companies, and their advisers — prepared with full supporting evidence and designed to withstand HMRC scrutiny.
Services include:
- CGT valuations — establishing value at the date of acquisition or disposal
- ATED valuations — for companies owning UK residential property over £500,000, at the relevant five-yearly revaluation dates
- Inheritance tax / probate valuations — for companies owning UK residential property over £500,000, at the relevant five-yearly revaluation dates
Commercial Valuations
Adelaide Jones provides RICS Red Book-compliant commercial valuations for banks, lenders, investors, and developers — covering offices, retail, industrial, and mixed-use assets across London, Manchester, and Birmingham.
We also act for international lenders and private banking clients in Dubai, Geneva, Singapore, and Hong Kong — providing formal Red Book valuations on London assets for cross-border borrowers and investors.

Building Reinstatement Valuations
A reinstatement cost assessment establishes the true cost of rebuilding a property from scratch — the figure insurers use to set your buildings insurance cover. Underinsurance is one of the most common and costly mistakes property owners make: if your sum insured falls short, your insurer may only partially settle a claim.
Adelaide Jones provides RICS-compliant reinstatement cost assessments for residential and commercial properties, including managed portfolio blocks. We act for a number of insurance underwriters and brokers and provide Day 1 reinstatement valuations at policy inception.
Lease Extension Valuations
Lease extension valuation is technically complex and high-stakes. The premium payable under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 is determined by a statutory formula — but the inputs, particularly relativity and yield, require genuine expertise and access to real transaction data.
Adelaide Jones is one of London’s leading specialists in lease extension valuations, advising both leaseholders and freeholders across Prime Central London. Our in-house database of secured lending valuations gives us a significant data advantage over practitioners who rely solely on published relativity graphs.

Development Appraisals
Adelaide Jones provides RICS Red Book development appraisal services for lenders and developers across the full development cycle — from initial site appraisal through to completion monitoring. We recently concluded acting as Monitoring Surveyors on a £400 million development in Prime Central London.
Services include:
- Red Book valuations — GDV assessments and existing use value reports
- Worth valuations — Red Book and Worth reports prepared in parallel for lenders
- Development viability reports — independent assessment of costs, revenues, and project risk
- Monitoring Surveyor — draw-down assessments and progress reporting throughout construction
Freehold Enfranchisment
Collective enfranchisement allows qualifying leaseholders to purchase the freehold of their building — increasing flat values, removing ground rent obligations, and giving control over building management.
Adelaide Jones advises leaseholders through every stage: enfranchisement valuations, premium negotiation, participation agreements, company formation, client account management, and post-completion administration.
Do you qualify? Eligibility depends on the number of flats, proportion of qualifying tenants, and lease structure. We recommend an initial check with the Leasehold Advisory Service (LEASE), then contact us to discuss next steps.
Expert Witness
When a property valuation or building dispute reaches court, you need a RICS surveyor with the experience to stand behind their evidence.
The Directors of Adelaide Jones have given expert witness testimony up to High Court level across valuation, building surveying, and enfranchisement matters. All reports comply with CPR Part 35.
Recent High Court instructions include a £100 million development feasibility claim in Kensington, a £15 million valuation dispute on Bishops Avenue, and a dilapidations claim on a building adjacent to Harrods.
Adelaide Jones also supports mediation and First-tier Tribunal representation on service charge and management disputes.
