A RICS Red Book valuation is a formal, independent assessment of a property’s value, prepared by a suitably qualified RICS valuer in line with RICS valuation standards. Unlike an informal estate agent appraisal or an online property estimate, it’s prepared for a specific professional purpose, taking into account the property itself, the circumstances of the instruction, and relevant market evidence specific to the London property market.
Depending on the purpose of the valuation, the report may provide an opinion of Market Value or another appropriate basis of value.
We provide RICS property valuation advice across London for a wide range of residential
property types, including house valuations, flat valuations, maisonettes, bungalows and more:
Houses · Flats & Apartments · Maisonettes · Bungalows · Investment Properties · Buy-to-Let Properties · Residential Development Properties · Mixed-Use Residential (where applicable)
Our valuers consider factors including location, accommodation, condition, specification, tenure, restrictions, planning considerations, and comparable market evidence, where relevant to the valuation instruction.
A RICS Red Book valuation is required for a wide range of professional purposes, including:
We keep the valuation process straightforward and professional:
When a property valuation is being used for an important financial, legal or taxation purpose, it’s essential that it’s independent, properly prepared and suitable for its intended use.
We combine professional valuation expertise with in-depth knowledge of the London residential property market across Central, North, South, East and West London to provide clear, carefully considered valuation advice.
The fee depends on the property, location, complexity and purpose of the valuation. Contact us with your property details and the reason for the valuation, and we'll provide a quotation.

Yes, subject to the specific requirements of the instruction. We'll discuss the circumstances with you and establish the appropriate valuation scope.
Online estimates can be a useful indication, but they're not a substitute for a formal professional valuation where an independent assessment is required for legal, taxation, financial or other professional purposes.
A Red Book valuation reflects the value of a property at a specific point in time. Property markets can change, so a valuation is generally considered current for a limited period - typically a few months. If your valuation is needed for a delayed process, it's worth checking with us whether an update is required.
That's completely normal - many clients aren't sure at first. Get in touch with your property details and the reason you need a valuation, and we'll advise on the right option for your situation.
Whether you require a valuation for probate, taxation, matrimonial proceedings, finance, property transfer or another professional purpose, we provide independent residential valuation advice tailored to your requirements.
