A question that people buying a house often ask is how do estate agents come up with the value of the house? We also find that people who already own a house are forever wondering what the value of their home is.

Below are a few building surveying articles which explain how property valuations are carried out and about the different types of house valuations. It is very important to understand the value the property has on the open market and what value it has to you.

Our independent building surveyors carry out independent property valuations, market valuations or open market valuations, as they used to be called. These valuations are not for mortgage purposes but for your own personal interest.

Our valuations are to the standard required by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and all our building surveyors are Chartered Surveyors and are Members of the RICS and the ISVA - Independent Surveyors and Valuers Association.
