Valuation Purposes:
There can be many reasons why you might need a Red Book Valuation by a Chartered Surveyor. LPS Advisory Ltd can provide valuations for a multitude of purposes, including:
Market Valuations
An impartial opinion on the amount that a property should exchange for on the open market. Broadly speaking, the RICS defines Market Value as "the amount a willing buyer and seller would agree on in an arm's length transaction" . You may need to know this if you are buying or selling a property, or require an independent valuation for other internal reasons. LPS Advisory is at the forefront of the London property market, overseeing a high volume of transactions and following all current market trends. We are experts in various methods of property valuation and guarantee the highest level of accuracy and robustness in all our valuation reports.

Help to Buy, Right to Buy, Shared Equity and Shared Ownership Valuations
This may be required by your Housing Association or the Government's Help to Buy scheme, in order to sell your home, or for 'Staircasing' your level of equity. You will require an RICS registered valuer to value the property, in order to calculate the amount needed to be repaid when selling, or to allow you to partially repay your loan without selling the property, so that you increase the share that you own. These valuations are typically only valid for three months, in which case we can offer a follow-up desktop valuation report at a discounted price.

Taxation - Capital Gains Tax, Probate and Inheritance Tax, and Annual Tax on Enveloped Dwellings (ATED)
LPS Advisory have extensive experience in providing property valuations for taxation purposes. We are able provide precise and timely valuations based on a past or present date, for you to calculate your tax liabilities before submitting to HMRC. A surveyor's ability to justify and defend the valuation may be closely scrutinised by Inland Revenue, which is why you should choose an experienced surveyor with local knowledge to ensure the valuation is accurate and compliant with HMRC standards.
