Valuations

Tax & succession planning

Valuations for tax purposes

Drawing on professional advice and assembling accurate, reliable information about the value of your property are essential for good tax planning. Our valuers are experienced in providing robust valuations for tax purposes, including valuations for Capital Gains Tax and Inheritance Tax purposes.

We understand that rural estates and property can have a complex blend of assets and interests to consider and we work closely with our clients and other rural professional advisors, to ensure that the valuations we provide are accurate, well-evidenced and satisfy both our client’s needs and HMRC requirements.

Valuation of Historic Buildings

Unique historical property

GSC Grays are often entrusted with the valuation of unique and historic buildings for our clients.

Though these buildings may be unrivalled in their historic importance or character, like any property asset they will be subject to market forces and their value may therefore be measured within the marketplace when traded.

What separates historic property from the wider market, are the additional and frequently complex factors that the valuer must account for; these include the effect of  the historic nature and architectural interest on value, together with the particular constraints imposed by the  statutory framework and less tangible elements, such as the indirect cultural and social benefits arising from the property.

Our valuers have the professional experience and skills required to understand and account for these additional factors when considering the value of this type of asset, allowing them to provide  RICS compliant valuations of historic buildings for financial statements, lending purposes, letting and investment, tax planning, or sale / purchase.

Secured Lending

Timely valuation reports tailored to your requirements

We are a trusted provider of valuations for secured lending purposes. The purpose of a secured lending valuation is to provide the bank or other loan provider with a valuation of the security that is being offered by the applicant, whether that is land, commercial or residential property. We are frequently instructed by banks to undertake secure lending valuations across the region and our surveyors are accustomed to delivering timely, independent valuations reports, tailored to those requirements.

Boundary Disputes

Providing accurate information for peace of mind

Often, drawings and plans from historic transactions are used in conveyances which, if incorrect, can lead to years of boundary disputes which can be very costly and stressful.

GSC Grays offer a service to visit your site to check the facts and measurements, leaving you with an accurate updated drawing which should enable you to make clear development plans or sell your property with peace of mind.
