Housing Association & Shared Ownership Valuations

If you own a shared ownership property or are dealing with a housing association, a professional valuation is often required. Our RICS certified surveyors provide clear, reliable shared ownership valuations to support staircasing, sales, and ownership changes.

Understanding your Valuation

Shared ownership valuations help homeowners establish the full market value of their property for staircasing, sales and housing association requirements.

What is a Shared Ownership Valuation?

A shared ownership valuation is a professional assessment of a property’s market value, used when selling a shared ownership property or increasing your share through staircasing. Often referred to as a RICS shared ownership survey, it provides an independent valuation in line with housing association requirements.

A housing association property valuation confirms the property’s open market value, which is then used to calculate the price of the share being sold or purchased.

Why a Shared Owndership Valuation is required

Housing associations require an independent shared ownership valuation to ensure transactions are fair and based on current market conditions. This applies whether you are selling your share or carrying out a staircasing valuation to increase your ownership.

Our experienced surveyors provide impartial, RICS-compliant valuations that are accepted by housing associations, solicitors, and mortgage lenders, helping the process run smoothly.

How Does the Process Work?

One of our RICS–certified surveyors will arrange a convenient time to inspect the property. During the visit, they will assess the property’s size, condition, location, and relevant market evidence.

Following the inspection, we prepare a clear RICS shared ownership valuation report confirming the property’s open market value. This report can then be submitted to the housing association or used by your solicitor or mortgage adviser for staircasing or sale.

When do I need a shared ownership valuation?

A shared ownership valuation is required when selling your share of the property or when staircasing to buy a larger share.

Most housing associations accept valuations for a limited period, typically around three months. You should check with your provider for exact timescales.

Is a shared ownership valuation different from a market valuation?

The valuation is based on the full open market value of the property, but it is used specifically to calculate the value of the share being sold or purchased.
