Other Important Valuations

Our valuations are invaluable to our clients

Matrimonial Valuations

If divorcees cannot agree on how to divide their assets fairly, an impartial matrimonial valuation is needed. To determine how your assets should be distributed according to the law, a judge will need to have a Valuation from an RICS registered valuer.

Insurance Re-instatement (Calculation) Valuation

In order to determine the market value of your property, you will need to obtain a valuation report. A report may also indicate a reinstatement figure and highlight certain issues that need further investigation, such as legal issues, which will require further investigation. It is important to understand that a valuation is not a survey.

Buildings Reinstatement Calculations

In the event that your home was destroyed beyond repair, the rebuild cost is the amount it would cost to rebuild it completely. This includes the cost of labour and building materials. The cost is usually lower than the sale price or market value of your home. Having your policy based on the rebuilding cost of your home will prevent you from over-insuring and paying higher premiums than absolutely necessary.

  • In the event that you have recently purchased your home, the rebuild cost will be included as part of your mortgage valuation or deed.
  • There should be a cost included in your rebuild estimate that includes any professional fees associated with the rebuilding process as well as the cost of clearing the site.

Independent Personal Asset Valuation

Asset valuation simply pertains to the process to determine the value of a specific property, including stocks, options, bonds, buildings, machinery, or land. This process is conducted usually when a company or asset is to be sold, insured, or taken over. The assets may be categorised into tangible and intangible assets.

Re-mortgage Purposes

The primary reason you would want to refinance your home is to save money on the monthly payments and on the original home purchase. Considering that your house is probably one of the biggest investments you will ever make, it is logical to conclude that finding a way to save money on this investment will have a significant impact on the amount you are spending every month.

What Our Clients Say

“We chose Andrew James Property Surveyors based on their excellent reputation. In a very short timeframe after contacting them, they scheduled a Homebuyers Survey (Level 2) for a price we considered to be very reasonable. Within 5 days of completing the survey, they sent a detailed report that was easy to understand and clearly outlined the areas to focus on for us and our solicitors. I couldn’t have asked for a better service. Andrew James Property Surveyors is definitely a company I would recommend.”
— Mr Alan B

“Exceptional service. We booked to have a Level 3 survey and valuation done on a property we were hoping to purchase. Both the survey and valuation were very thorough and I felt like no stone was left unturned. Andy was amazing, calling the same day the reports were issued to help understand the conclusions, plus we knew we could call if we had any further queries. We felt like we were in very safe hands and that we’d really been looked after. What a great team! Will definitely use them again.”
— Jane Paterson

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I really need a building survey?
Yes – even newer homes can hide issues that aren’t visible during a viewing. A professional survey gives you peace of mind and leverage in negotiations.

Which survey level should I choose?
For modern properties in good condition, a Level 2 Home Buyers Report is often sufficient. For older homes, listed buildings, or properties with extensions, a Level 3 Building Survey is recommended. We’re happy to advise on the best option.

Absolutely. As a RICS-accredited practice, all our valuations meet the required professional standards and can be used for official purposes.
