Valuations
We provide Shared Ownership Valuations for a fixed price of £300 including VAT.
Make informed decisions about your home
Shared ownership is a government-backed housing scheme that allows individuals to purchase a share of a property and pay rent on the remaining portion. If you bought your home through a shared ownership scheme, you’ll need a RICS valuation as a legal requirement if:
You’re looking to increase your percentage ownership (a process known as ‘staircasing’).
You’re planning on selling your home.

Good to know…
Check housing association rules
Some housing associations require you to use their own approved valuers, so it’s a good idea to check with them first if you’re not sure.
Improvements made
Additionally, a number of housing associations will allow the valuation to exclude any significant improvements you’ve made to the property. This means that the extra value you may have added would not be factored into the ‘staircasing’ or redemption figure, rather than the housing association being the beneficiary of the increased market price.
A helpful example:
A tenant has added a conservatory during their period of ownership, so we would provide a value of the property that includes the conservatory, but also a valuation based on the assumption this extra structure had not been added. The housing association would then base their ‘staircasing’ or redemption calculation on the valuation disregarding the improvement.
Just to note, there can be variations across differing housing associations as to what is considered a ‘significant improvement’. Also the full cost of an improvement won’t necessarily be the same figure as the value difference you would recoup.
