An independent valuation ensures that the council’s offer price is fair and accurate. If you believe the council’s valuation is too high, a private valuation can support your case in negotiations.

At Watsons, our RICS-accredited surveyors carry out the valuation, providing a professional, reliable, and compliant assessment of your property’s market value.

The valuation is based on several factors, including the property’s size, condition, location, recent sales of similar properties, and market trends at the time of assessment.

No, a Right to Buy valuation only determines the market value of the property. If you need a full structural survey or condition report, we offer separate survey services.

Any improvements you’ve made, such as extensions or renovations, will be considered in the valuation, but they may not always be included in the discounted price set by the council.

While our valuation gives an accurate market value, mortgage lenders may require their own valuation as part of the mortgage approval process. However, our report can be useful for your initial discussions.
