There has been a death in the family and you need a Report for Probate.

Probate Valuation Report
This Report is sometimes required if someone in your family passes away with a property as part of their estate.

Matrimonial Valuation Report

Capital Gains Tax Valuation
If you sell a property that is not classed as your main residence, you will be liable to pay capital gains tax on the proceeds of the sale. If the property was purchased before 1982 the cut off point for the valuation is 31st March 1982. We can provide a 1982 valuation Report for capital gains tax purposes.

Expert Witness Reports
An expert witness report can be used if a dispute arises between two parties, for example over the valuation of a property or an allegation of negligence. When acting as an expert witness, a surveyor has a duty to be truthful to the facts, and to give independent, objective and unbiased advice. If Court proceedings have started or if the matter progresses to Court the surveyor is bound by Part 35 of the Civil Procedure Rules and he must produce a report that complies with these rules.
