VALUATION

Property valuation is an essential process within the UK real estate market, influencing decisions for buyers, sellers, and investors.

Valuations are also fundamental to lenders who require an independent assessment of a property to help them understand, not only the value, but the risk associated with lending on a particular asset.

UNDERSTANDING PROPERTY VALUATION

It is important to recognise the nuances and different valuation methods that should be adopted for different types of asset. At Terracotta Property, a company committed to providing valuable insights and support to its clients, comprehending property valuation is at the very core of what we do.

  • Residential Valuation - This focuses on properties intended for use as a dwelling. Key factors influencing residential valuations include location, property size, condition, and recent sales data of comparable properties in the area. There are of course residential investment properties that may require a different approach.

  • Commercial Property Valuation - This refers to assessing the value of properties used for business purposes, such as offices, retail spaces, and warehouses. Valuations in this sector often consider the income generated by a building and consider the value of the cash-flow.

  • HMO Valuation (Houses in Multiple Occupation) - HMO properties, which cater to multiple tenants sharing facilities, are increasingly popular. There are two approaches to valuing an HMO. The first is to consider the value added in the cost of conversion works from a similar dwelling to an HMO. The second valuation approach involves assessing the income generated per room, compliance with local regulations, and overall market demand for rental properties.
