Services We Offer
Valuations
The following are the more common types of valuation reports which we are asked to provide but if you need a valuation for other purposes then please contact us to discuss your requirements.
Sale and Purchase
Details of the survey types available are under the Survey Options heading.
We can provide various services to assist in the sale and purchase of properties including surveys for buyers and sellers. For buyers, a survey will provide details of the condition to give them the essential information about the property they are intending to purchase.
A survey for the seller enables us to provide information to help them understand areas of concern which might be brought to the attention of the buyer thereby reducing uncertainty from the outset and helping to ensure that the property can be correctly marketed.
Help to Buy/Shared Equity
Owners of Help To Buy/Shared Equity properties are required to have a formal, written (Red Book) valuation when they want to sell or purchase additional equity in their property. This is a service which Boulton and Brown have been offering for some time and we are fully conversant with the requirements.
Probate
Valuations are sometimes needed for probate purposes. Your solicitor will advise you if it is necessary and Boulton and Brown can provide the necessary valuation.
Taxation Valuations
We are able to provide valuations for most tax purposes (Capital Gains, Inheritance Tax etc).
Expert Witness
Sometimes concerns are raised which require specific inspection and reporting, including following building works. Boulton and Brown are experienced in such matters and are able to provide reports to facilitate resolution.
