The reports that we produce can be trusted by all parties involved in the separation. Our valuation reports included not only the value agreed on but also all the information and calculations that have been used to reach this value. Our valuers will look at:
- Local comparable sales in the property’s area
- The condition of the property, including any fixture and fittings
- The property’s proximity to local amenities and public transport
- Any zoning or restrictions that affect the property
Our property valuation reports come in two main forms. This allows us to provide our clients with the right valuation for their circumstances. Our reports can be either:
- A short form report: This form is reserved for separations settled in mediation.
- A long form report: This form is used when a separation is to be settled in court. Its higher level of detail will satisfy every court standard.
