Valuations

We provide market valuations of commercial property and development land for major banks, pension funds, solicitors, accountants and individuals – in short anyone who needs to know what a property is worth for either purchase, sale, investment, legal proceedings, probate, asset management or accounting purposes.

Valuations depend on the quality of market information available, the legal interest being valued and the way this is interpreted by the valuer. In addition to a wealth of data about the property market in Kent and south-east England, we have wide commercial experience and access to the most up-to-date on-line information. We can provide sensitivity analysis, development appraisals and retrospective valuations where required.

All reports comply with the RICS Valuation Standards, include a rental valuation where appropriate, and are provided with photographs and the latest Ordnance Survey mapping.

Leases

We provide services to both landlord and tenants covering rent reviews and lease renewals.
We endeavour to ensure that landlords receive a market-related income and that tenants pay fair rents. Because of inevitable debates around the interpretation of available evidence and how the resultant rental should be adjusted professional representation is often necessary. A Chartered Surveyor is well placed to present specific evidence of comparable transactions and set out an interpretation of the lease in the most favourable light.

Sometimes, lease terms require negotiations to involve either an arbitrator or independent expert. These are quasi-judicial proceedings and representation by a surveyor is almost essential, as the evidence needs to be placed before the Arbitrator or Expert in a way that can be easily interpreted to stand the best chance of success.
