Independent RICS valuations for accurate tax calculations
If you are selling a property that has increased in value, you may need a Capital Gains Tax valuation to calculate the correct tax due. This is especially important for second homes, inherited properties, rental properties and homes that have not always been your main residence.
Nuven provides independent, evidence based RICS valuations that help homeowners, landlords, accountants and solicitors calculate Capital Gains Tax accurately and with confidence.
When you need a Capital Gains Tax valuation
You may need a valuation when:
- Selling a second home or investment property
- Transferring ownership or gifting a property
- Selling a property that was once your main home but is now rented out
- Dividing property assets during divorce or separation
- Calculating tax owed on inherited property when it is later sold
- HMRC requires evidence to support your declared figures
A RICS valuation provides defensible market evidence, which can help reduce risk when submitting information to HMRC.
Retrospective valuations for CGT
Capital Gains Tax calculations often require the property value at a specific date in the past. This may include:
- The value when the property was first acquired
- The value when it was transferred into joint names
- The value when it became a rental property
- The value at the date of inheritance
Our surveyors complete retrospective valuations using archived market data, historical sales evidence and expert analysis to produce a reliable figure for the required date. This can help you present accurate information to HMRC and avoid disputes.
What your valuation includes
Your Nuven Capital Gains Tax valuation will contain:
- A clear market value for the required date
- Supporting comparable sales evidence
- Detailed methodology and assumptions
- A signed valuation letter suitable for tax purposes
- Photographs and supporting notes when inspecting the current condition
- Optional retrospective valuation without inspection if needed
We can also provide supplementary information or clarification if HMRC raises queries during the review process.
