An independent RICS Red Book valuation to buy further shares (staircasing) or sell your shared-ownership home — accepted by lenders and housing associations, valid for 3 months, by an RICS Registered Valuer.
If you own a share of your home through a shared-ownership scheme, your housing association will require an independent RICS valuation before you can buy further shares or sell.
The cost of the shares you buy is based on the current market value of the whole property, so an accurate, independent valuation makes sure you pay the right amount.

Yes. The same Red Book valuation can be used to set the price when selling your shared-ownership share, as required by your housing association before they market it or approve a buyer.
