RICS Red Book

Private valuations

A market valuation carried out by an RICS Registered Valuer, to RICS standards. It's based on an inspection of the property and standard assumptions, so it's more limited in scope than a survey.

We provide private valuations for:

  • Probate
  • Tax planning
  • Help to Buy and shared equity sales and purchases
  • Charities Act
  • Self-invested pensions
