Premises for SIPP and SSAS Pension Fund Valuations
Our pension valuation service provides all types of property valuations for SIPP (Self-Invested Personal Pension) and SSAS (Small Self-Administered Scheme). We can work with your purchase for any commercial property using a SIPP of SSAS fund.
Rent Reviews and Lease Renewals
Whether the lease is approaching its end date or there is a provision for a rent review partway through the term, this is where we can assist.
Valuations for Probate and Inheritance Tax
After an individual has passed away, it is usual for the deceased person’s family to ascertain a value of their assets and possessions (also known as their estate). Where an estate includes property, a Valuation Report will usually be required as part of the Probate process.
Specialist Valuations
Valuation reports are usually undertaken when purchasing a property or land. However, there are instances when a specialist report can assist and these include:
- Boundary disputes
- Ransom Strips
- Backdated valuations for tax purposes
- Off market disposals/ acquisitions
- Compulsory valuations for acquisitions by Councils
- Matrimonial valuations
…plus many more. If in doubt, please contact us to discuss your requirements.
Valuation of Property for Matrimonial and Divorce Settlements
When a married couple decide to divorce it will be necessary to ensure that a fair financial settlement is reached. As the matrimonial home is usually a significant asset, its value will need to be agreed.
Land Valuations
Land can be a valuable commodity – especially if there is an interest in developing it into housing. There are two recognised approaches to the valuation of development land:
- Comparison with the sale price of land for comparable development;
- The residual method – which involves an assessment of the value of the scheme as completed and deduction of the costs of development (including developer’s profit) to arrive at the underlying land value.
