  • “Our Right to Buy offer seemed higher than expected, so we wanted an independent opinion. The valuation helped us understand the local market and gave us evidence to discuss the figure with the landlord.”

FAQ

Right to Buy valuation questions

Why get a second opinion on a Right to Buy valuation?

The council’s valuation sets the value your Right to Buy discount comes off. So it sets the price in its offer. An independent RICS valuation shows if that figure matches the home’s market value.

Can I challenge the council’s valuation?

Your offer letter explains how to ask for the valuation to be reviewed and how long you have to ask. Our report gives you an independent view of the home’s market value first, with the evidence.

When should I get the valuation?

Before you accept the council’s offer, so you have time to act on the figure.

Do you cover my area?

We inspect homes across Greater London and Essex.

How much does a Right to Buy valuation cost?

We price each inspection for the home. Answer a few quick questions and we will send your quote the same day.

Is a valuation the same as a survey?

No. A valuation is not a building survey. It gives the home’s market value. It does not report on the building’s condition.
