Survey and Valuation Reports

Shane Sylvester F.R.I.C.S. is professionally qualified as a fellow of The Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors and has over 15 years of surveying experience.

He specialises in sharing his experience with homebuyers by providing them with Professional Survey and Valuation reports carried out in accordance with the R.I.C.S. code of practice.


The R.I.C.S. Homebuyer Survey and Valuation
Specifically designed for the homebuyer who wants a professional opinion as to the open market value and condition of the property they are buying. This is a detailed report extending to some 11 pages and presented in a bound folder.
This is the most commonly required report for homebuyers.

Valuation Reports
The correct term for this report is a “Valuation Report carried out in accordance with the R.I.C.S. Appraisal and Valuation Standards”.

This report can be used for a number of purposes and is designed to provide a professional opinion as to the Market Value of the subject property. Although it comments on the condition of the property, it is not as detailed as the Homebuyer Survey and Valuation above.

This report is most commonly required for homeowners who need a professional valuation for financial purposes, including matrimonial disputes and accountancy, and can be provided for both residential and commercial properties. This is also popular with homebuyers who are concerned over the agreed purchase price of their property.


Other Services

Probate Valuations
In the case of loss of a family member Sylvesters can provide your legal advisors with a schedule and professional opinion as to the value of the subject property. If we are subsequently requested to deal with the sale of the property our fee for the probate valuation is deducted from the sale fee.

Matrimonial Valuations
Disagreements over the value of the matrimonial home are often the biggest financial concern during matrimonial disputes and proceedings. Sylvesters professional department can provide you with a report and opinion as to the open market value of the subject property so that proceedings may progress more rapidly. These reports are carried out by a Chartered Surveyor in accordance with the R.I.C.S. Appraisal and Valuation Standards and are a professional document.

Buildings Insurance Valuations
Is your property insured for the correct amount?

An alarming amount of properties in the U.K. are under insured and most homeowners are unaware of it.

Buildings insurance is not related in any way to the open market value of the property and is the estimated cost of rebuilding based on gross floor area.
