Matrimonial Valuation
When requiring an independent and legally compliant assessment of a home’s true value during a divorce or separation, ensuring fair financial settlements, reducing bias and providing admissible evidence for court proceedings, it is essential that you use a qualified RICS surveyor.
Why Choose A Matrimonial Valuation?
An RICS Matrimonial Valuation provides an independent, expert assessment of a property's market value to assist in the fair division of assets during a divorce or separation.
Our surveyors provide a professional "Red Book Valuation" that can be used as a shared document between parties or submitted as evidence to the court.
Key Benefits of A Matrimonial Property Valuation
Accuracy and Objectivity: Provides a neutral, expert valuation, avoiding the bias or inaccuracies of relying solely on estate agent appraisals.
Legal Compliance: Produces RICS-regulated, CPR-compliant reports suitable for court evidence.
Fair Financial Settlements: Ensures the marital assets are accurately valued, helping to prevent over- or under-valuation.
Facilitates Mediation: Offers an agreed, objective value that helps couples reach a settlement without litigation.
Expert Witness Services: Qualified surveyors can act as experts in court to provide evidence if necessary.

How Much Does A Matrimonial Valuation Cost?
Valuation fees vary depending on the property type, size, and location. Here’s what affects the price:
-
Larger properties or those with unique features require more extensive market research and inspection time to ensure a fair assessment.
-
The state of the property can impact the valuation complexity, particularly when determining the value for legal asset division.
-
Regional market variations influence the time required to compile a robust, RICS-compliant report that can stand up to legal scrutiny.
-
The fee reflects the "Red Book" standards required for legal proceedings and whether the surveyor is acting as a Single Joint Expert (SJE).
