Type of Factors that can affect the Valuation

Construction

The construction of the property has a direct effect on its value, for example a London Stock brick can cost upward of £1.10, whereas a facing brick can cost as little as 40p. Our extensive knowledge of construction ensures our Valuers are always best placed to give you the most accurate valuation possible.

Property Size

The size of the property will have a direct effect on its reinstatement cost, our Valuers will not only establish the per square foot value, but will also take into account any factors that could boost the value such as balconies or basements. This ensures our valuations reflect the true rebuild cost.

Property Location

Location is key to the rebuild cost of the property. A property constructed within London costs more to build than one built in the outskirts. However, that being said a property built in a rural area can cost more than one built in London. As such experience and understanding is key when it comes to rebuild valuations.
