An impartial RICS Red Book valuation for a fair financial settlement. We can act as Single Joint Expert, comply with the court's requirements under CPR Part 35, and remain fair to both parties throughout.
When a relationship ends, the family home is often the largest asset to divide. A truly independent market valuation gives both parties — and the court — a figure they can trust.
Where both parties want one shared figure, we can be instructed as a Single Joint Expert. Our reports comply with Part 35 of the Civil Procedure Rules so they're ready for proceedings.

Four steps from instruction to a report your solicitor can rely on.
Tell us about the property and see your price on screen. Either party, or a solicitor acting for both, can instruct us.
An RICS Registered Valuer inspects the home in person. Where we act as Single Joint Expert, both parties are welcome to be present.
We analyse recent comparable sales in the area, so the figure is supported by evidence rather than opinion.
A Red Book valuation with our expert's declaration and statement of truth, issued to both parties or their solicitors together.
It's the first thing most people try, and it's free — but a marketing appraisal and a formal valuation are different documents, prepared for different purposes.
If you need a figure for a sale rather than a settlement, a market valuation may be all you need. For an estate after a death, see probate valuations.
A Single Joint Expert (SJE) is one independent valuer instructed by both parties together, rather than each side appointing their own. It gives one agreed figure, keeps costs down and reduces conflict. We're experienced acting in this role.
Yes. Our reports are prepared to RICS Red Book standards and comply with Part 35 of the Civil Procedure Rules, including the expert's declaration and statement of truth, so they're ready to be relied on in financial proceedings.
Yes — that's the Single Joint Expert arrangement. Both parties, or their solicitors, instruct us jointly and we provide one impartial valuation to each. We can also act for one party on a sole basis where preferred.
From £300. The final figure depends on the size, value and location of the property. You'll see an exact price on screen before you commit — there's no charge for the quote and no obligation to proceed.
Form E asks you to state the property's value and the basis for that figure. Many solicitors ask for a formal Red Book valuation rather than an estate agent's estimate, because it can be relied on if the settlement is contested. Your solicitor will advise what's needed in your case.
We normally value at the date of inspection, reflecting current market conditions. If the court or your solicitors have directed a different valuation date, tell us when you instruct us and we'll prepare the report on that basis.
Where we act as Single Joint Expert, either party may put written questions to us under Part 35, and we'll answer them. That's usually quicker and far cheaper than commissioning a second valuation.
Yes. Where a settlement involves a buy-to-let, a second home or land as well as the family home, we can value each of them and set them out in a single instruction.
We usually attend within a few working days of being instructed and return the completed Part 35 report shortly after, so the settlement isn't held up.
