What is a Shared Ownership Valuation?

A shared ownership valuation is a specialist assessment we carry out when you want to increase your equity share in a shared ownership property, commonly called "staircasing." Housing associations and mortgage lenders ask for this valuation so they can pin down the current market value of the property and work out the price of the extra shares. In Crowthorne, where shared ownership homes have grown more popular, especially around the Edrich Grange development, an accurate valuation matters if you want to make sound decisions about the property.

To carry out the valuation, a RICS registered surveyor visits the property and measures it against recent sales of similar homes in Crowthorne. We draw on data from the RG45 6 and RG45 7 postcode sectors, which have moved in different directions, RG45 7 recorded 49% growth while RG45 6 saw a 10.7% decline. That local reading of the market keeps the valuation tied to the conditions in your part of the village.

Staircasing to 75% or 100% ownership, or needing a valuation for remortgaging, all sit within the reports we prepare for major UK mortgage lenders and housing associations. We work quickly too, with pricing from just £350 for standard properties in Crowthorne.

Important Information for Crowthorne Property Owners

For staircasing in Crowthorne, there is often a valuation fee every time you increase your share. Some housing associations waive that fee, so it pays to check with your provider. Our team can often deal directly with your housing association, which takes some of the back-and-forth out of the process.

Why Choose Our Crowthorne Service

We know the Crowthorne property market well. Our valuers have worked on homes across the village, from Victorian terraces in the village centre to modern apartments at Bucklers Park and Edrich Grange. That local background helps us pitch valuations to the way the market is moving now.

Crowthorne is not a one-speed market. RG45 7 has shown remarkable 49% year-on-year growth, while the neighbouring RG45 6 sector has followed a different path. We factor in those micro-market shifts, so the valuation is based on comparable homes in your own postcode sector.

Understanding Shared Ownership in Crowthorne

Shared ownership has become a popular route onto the property ladder in Crowthorne, particularly for first-time buyers hoping to get a foothold in this Bracknell Forest village. Under the scheme, you buy a share of the property, typically between 25% and 75%, and pay rent on the rest to a housing association. We have seen one example in the area, a first-floor apartment offered at 50% equity of £225,000.

Once you are ready to raise your ownership share, a RICS valuation is mandatory. It protects both you and the housing association by making sure the price for the extra shares matches the true market value. In a market like Crowthorne’s, where property values have shown overall growth of 1.17% and detached homes average over £868,000, getting that figure right matters for financial planning.

Our valuers know the housing associations operating in Crowthorne and are used to their individual requirements. Whether the property sits on a larger development or within a smaller shared ownership scheme, we write reports that meet the relevant regulatory standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a shared ownership valuation cover?

A shared ownership valuation means a full inspection of the property, with all rooms measured and the condition of the building, fixtures and fittings assessed. The valuer also looks at the age of the home, its position within Crowthorne, and any improvements you have made recently. The report then sets out a market value based on comparable sales in the RG45 area.

How much does a shared ownership valuation cost in Crowthorne?

Our shared ownership valuations in Crowthorne begin from £350 for standard properties. The final fee depends on the property type, the size of the home and how complex the valuation is. Flats and leasehold properties can call for extra checks, which may change the final price.

How long does the valuation process take?

The inspection itself usually takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of your property. You’ll normally receive the formal RICS valuation report within 3-5 working days of the inspection. If you need it sooner, we offer an express service for an additional fee.

Do I need a RICS registered valuer?

Yes, all mortgage lenders and housing associations insist that valuations are done by a RICS registered valuer. A non-RICS valuer will not be accepted by your lender, and that can hold up your staircasing or remortgage application. All our valuers are fully RICS registered.

Can you help with staircasing to 100% ownership?

Absolutely. Staircasing to 100% ownership, also called "staircasing to zero," calls for a full market valuation of the property. Our RICS valuers can carry this out and can often deal directly with your housing association, which keeps the process as straightforward as possible for you.

What happens if my valuation is lower than expected?

If the valuation comes in lower than you expected, that can change how much you need to pay for extra shares or the amount you can borrow when remortgaging. Our valuers always talk you through the comparable evidence used in the valuation, so you can see how the figure was reached. If you disagree with it, you can ask for a formal review.
