RICS Red Book Valuations

HMSA Property Services provides professional RICS valuation advice across London, Hertfordshire, and the surrounding Home Counties. We undertake formal Red Book valuations for a wide range of residential property purposes, including probate, Inheritance Tax, Capital Gains Tax, Charities Act compliance, and lease extensions.

All valuations are prepared by an experienced RICS Registered Valuer and reported clearly, professionally, and in strict accordance with global RICS valuation standards.

What should I consider when choosing a property valuation service in the UK?

When choosing a property valuation service in the UK, there are three critical factors to consider to ensure your report is legally compliant and accurate:

  • Professional Regulation: Always ensure the firm is an RICS-regulated firm and the individual surveyor is an RICS Registered Valuer. This ensures the report meets statutory requirements for HMRC, courts, and solicitors.

  • Local Market Expertise: The valuer must have deep, demonstrable knowledge of your specific local borough and property types to accurately assess historical or current market evidence.

  • Red Book Compliance: For tax, legal, probate, or statutory purposes, ensure you receive a formal Red Book valuation backed by verified comparable market evidence, rather than a basic estate agent appraisal.

Our Core Valuation Services:

  • Probate, IHT, and CGT Valuations: We provide residential valuations for probate, Inheritance Tax, and Capital Gains Tax purposes, including retrospective valuations where a historic valuation date is required by HMRC.

  • Lease Extension Valuations: We regularly advise leaseholders and freeholders on the premium assessment and negotiation strategy for statutory lease extensions under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993.

  • Charities Act Valuations: We provide formal valuation reporting for residential property disposals and transactions to help trustees make compliant, informed property decisions.
