The work
What the work involves
- 01Establishing the purpose
Sale? Inheritance? Court? Bank? The purpose determines the report's scope and form, and is agreed before work starts.
- 02Reviewing documents
Confirming the property's identity, ownership, area and registered charges, and identifying what is missing.
- 03Inspection
Visiting the property and recording what no document shows: actual condition, surroundings, access, current use.
- 04Analysis
Testing the evidence against the market and comparable properties, choosing the approach that fits the property type and the quality of the data.
- 05Reporting
A full record of the property, purpose, sources, methodology, assumptions, and the conclusion with its date.
Documents
Documents required
A reference list, not a precondition. Send what you have; what is missing is identified at review.
Title extract from the Land Registry
An extract from the Land Registry showing ownership and any registered charges.
Cadastral map or area statement
To establish boundaries, area, shape and the relationship to the surrounding roads.
Planning documents, where available
Planning information and development ratios, which determine what can be built and how.
Details of roads, rights of way and easements
The surrounding roads, rights of way, and any easement registered against the property.
Building documents if the plot is built on
The building permit or its equivalent, establishing the legal standing of what is built.
Any earlier study or scheme drawings
Any earlier study or scheme drawings prepared for the property.
The outcome
What you receive
A report identifying the plot precisely, describing its location, surroundings and technical characteristics, setting out its planning status and how that bears on value, and presenting the approach, the comparables, the conclusion and its date.
Value is tied to its valuation date and stated purpose. Land is particularly sensitive to changes in planning, infrastructure, and the direction a district is developing in.
