RICS Valuation
An independent RICS Registered Valuer must carry out an RICS valuation. The valuer will assess how much the property is worth using the criteria set out in the RICS ‘Red Book’ guidance document.
This document sets out professional standards for Red Book valuations and ensures a high-quality service.


RICS Red Book
RICS Red Book valuations differ from estate agents valuation appraisals. Surveyors inspect the property’s construction, size, condition, and location. They then make a thorough technical assessment using their extensive training and experience. The results of this assessment, combined with information on the sale price of three comparable properties in the vicinity that have recently sold, are used to make evidence-based valuations.
What’s the difference
Unlike estate agents valuations, there is no conflict of interest because surveyors do not earn commission.
We are official RICS regulated Valuers and we can provide reports on all types of property in accordance with the guidelines set out in the RICS Valuation Standards. We can report on residential properties for purchase, probate, Charities Acts disposal, Help to buy or similar shared equity schemes.
