You may not have even considered this…
A Remote Valuation (otherwise known as a Desktop Valuation) is an inspection that does not require our Registered Valuer to physically attend your property at any stage. Instead the valuation is conducted using information accessible online using Government funded and commercial websites e.g. Land Registry.
If you find yourself in one of the following situations, a Remote ‘Desktop’ Valuation might seem the most sensible option:
- COVID-19 – You are unable to provide access to your property due to the recent Coronavirus outbreak and self-isolation.
- Home Buyer – You are a keen buyer who would like to determine a property’s value.
- Seller – You may be about the part with a property and require a valuation that is independent of your Estate Agent.
- Property Auction – You may be considering buying a property through auction and want an idea of what it might be worth.
- Tenanted – You are unable to gain access because the property is tenanted.
- Newly Build – You are purchasing a new build property and need an assessment that is based upon the plans, rather than what is physically on site.
- Probate – You have been named an executor to a Will that includes property and you need a valuation to determine if you are over the threshold for inheritance tax.
We recommend Remote Valuations for any home that has been reasonably maintained and is situated in a community with a large number of similar houses; in which case our assessment will be faster and much more accurate to the local property market.
