What Is an Open Market Valuation?
An open market valuation is a professional assessment of a property’s value assuming a willing buyer and seller, proper marketing, and no undue pressure. Often referred to as a RICS open market valuation, it reflects the price a property is likely to achieve on the open market at the valuation date.
A market value property survey is carried out by a qualified home valuation surveyor and is relied upon by individuals, solicitors, lenders, and professionals for a wide range of purposes.
Why an Open Market Valuation Is Important
An accurate open market valuation helps you make confident decisions when buying, selling, or holding property. It provides a clear, evidence-based figure that reflects current market conditions and comparable sales.
Our experienced surveyors provide impartial, RICS-compliant valuations that are accepted by solicitors, accountants, lenders, government departments and bodies plus private clients.
How Does the Process Work?
One of our RICS certified home valuation 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 open market valuation report confirming the property’s market value at the valuation date. The report can be used for personal, legal*, or financial purposes as required.
*Note that some legal processes require particular valuation types and reports so please outline the use of the report when booking.
