Independent RICS valuations for selling, staircasing and lease extensions
If you own your home through a Shared Ownership scheme, you will need an independent RICS valuation whenever you sell your share, buy a larger share or extend your lease. Nuven provides clear, accurate and fully compliant valuations that meet the requirements of housing associations and mortgage lenders.
Our surveyors deliver reliable reports supported by local market evidence, helping you make informed decisions and progress your transaction with confidence.
When you need a Shared Ownership valuation
You will need a valuation when you are:
- Staircasing and buying a larger percentage of your home
- Selling your current share
- Extending your lease
- Assigning the lease to a new buyer
- Remortgaging your share of the property
Housing associations require a report from an independent RICS surveyor that reflects the current market value of the property. Nuven provides valuations that follow these guidelines and are accepted across a wide range of schemes.
What your valuation includes
Your Nuven Shared Ownership valuation will contain:
- A full inspection of the property
- A clear and reasoned market value
- Comparable sales evidence from similar local properties
- Supporting photographs and notes
- A signed and dated valuation on headed paper suitable for submission to your housing association
- Details on any assumptions required for lease extension purposes
Your valuation is generally valid for three months. If your sale or staircasing process continues beyond this period, we can provide a simple desktop update if market conditions remain stable.
