- Canterbury Property Valuation
The evolving property market in Canterbury and other cities like London, Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester, and Cardiff makes understanding the actual value of residential or commercial properties rather difficult to determine, but this can be accomplished with accuracy if you instruct the right surveyor.
The Difference between Leasehold and Freehold on your property value
The valuation of properties is affected in significant ways by as regards leasehold and freehold. Usually, the value of a leasehold property is quite different from that of a freehold property because the former is bound to pay ground rent and is tied to a lease that is getting closer to its end with time. The freehold property is not subject to this as it includes the land ownership.
How Commercial Property Valuation Differs from Residential
Knowledge of real estate to value commercial properties also requires an even broader understanding of business, market demand, and the profit potential of the property itself.
Appraisers of commercial real estate look at the locational and structural fundamentals, assess the current direction of the market, and sometimes even investigate the financial condition of the property’s current tenancy, especially if it’s an income-producing investment property.
Assessing the worth of a Property for Inheritance and Capital Gains Tax (CGT)
It’s obviously crucial to know the worth of a property for when you want to sell, but even if it’s not on the market, it’s good to have an idea of how much your property is worth for legal and tax business.
Valuations that are done well will enable you to pay a fair amount for both inheritance tax and capital gains tax. You do not want to end up paying too much in taxes or otherwise have your real estate portfolio open to challenge in court.
How much is a house worth when it is owned cooperatively?
In trying to assess what a shared ownership property is worth, two things must be considered: how many shares you own and the kind of agreement you have with the housing association or other owner.
You would have to be specially trained and qualified to understand all of this. In fact, that’s just what the surveyors who do this kind of work are.
RICS Valuation Surveyor for Real Estate Market Value
Buying a property is a huge financial undertaking, so it’s essential to have an accurate appraisal done to determine the true market value. The appraisals will provide insight into the property’s overall condition, as well as its actual size and usable area. The appraised value will depend on a number of factors, including the house size and condition, any defects that might exist, its location, accessibility to public transportation, the building’s age, the quality of its interior finishes, its outdoor spaces, and the availability of parking—all of which affect not only its market salability but also the comfort and convenience of living there.
Equity Valuation
Need to pay back the equity loan you took out when you bought your Canterbury home? Trying to reduce your housing costs and/or buy out the equity you’ve got with your developer or Housing Association? Whatever your situation, if you need to know the value of your Canterbury property, whether to pay back a loan, buy out equity, or simply for your own review, then you need a property valuation.
Assessing the Value of Your Right to Buy
The Right to Buy allows tenants to purchase their local council or a housing association property for less than its market value, but is it fair to trust your landlord’s appraisal of your home’s worth?
For a truly objective determination of your house’s value, a RICS Right to Buy valuation is a necessity. Even so, what we do get is essentially an executive summary of the property’s condition. To really understand the asset, you should couple the RICS valuation with a full structural survey.
IHT Valuation
Experiencing the death of someone close is very hard, and dealing with their belongings can make everything worse. People can rely on surveyors to simplify the task of assessing value efficiently and correctly. The process of probate is carried out to set tax payments and help divide assets properly among heirs. Yet, when someone passes away and the estate is worth above £325,000, inheritance tax may be charged on the possessions. What’s more, if money comes from selling property, it must follow capital gains tax laws that include the price of the home at the time of the deceased person’s passing.
ATED Valuation
Most of the time, a property tax is put on UK companies annually whenever their property is valued above £500,000. Reviewing the ATED report properly by a RICS-registered and qualified surveyor can help you pay less for ATED in the next five years, avoid major punishment, and match the city assessor’s findings when necessary.
When a person does not live in the property, how is the value of the property determined?
It is not always easy to find the best plan to sell your UK property if you are living in another country, and to know the related tax laws. Yet, having an accurate appraisal of the property can simplify the process and explain it. With these valuations, you and your lawyers will be able to see what will be required for you to either transfer or sell your Canterbury property.
Valuation for Divorce (Matrimonial)
A Divorce Settlement Valuation is a service that will enable you to split them appropriately in the divorce settlement. It guarantees that no matter what the terms of the settlement are, the equity is divided proportionately.
Divorce Property Valuation
It is important to have a detailed valuation of property in cases where spouses do not agree on asset division. A professional approved by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors can give helpful advice to courts about the fair distribution of assets. A correct divorce valuation means you receive what is owed and do not have to worry about future costs.
