Frequently asked questions about loan security valuations

 

What is a loan security valuation?

The need for a loan security valuation arises when a loan is requested from a bank or financial lending institution.

A loan security valuation is conducted to establish whether the value of the loan requested from the lender will be secure.

Many lenders will only consider a valuation report prepared by a RICS chartered surveyor in accordance with the RICS Red Book valuation standards. This method considers the property’s location, condition, quality, demand and supply in the area, along with the current market conditions in the area, by seeking comparable evidence from recently sold property of a similar nature. Any planning permission, along with future value, the potential for alternative uses, energy efficiency, and environmental factors affecting the property, are all considered and summarised in the valuer report.

 

Will a loan security valuation differ from an open market valuation?

Yes. A loan security valuation of a property will be different from the open market value of the same property.

The lender seeks to be in a position where, if the loan is defaulted, it can realistically recoup the value of the loan plus associated fees.

Ultimately, the loan security valuation is to establish for the lender whether the requested value of the loan can be secured against the value of a property. 

 

What is a RICS valuation?

RICS Valuers are governed by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, follow strict professional guidelines, provide adequate professional indemnity insurance, and must be able to defend the market evidence used in the report to reach the end valuation should a claim be made against them.

This means you can be confident that the opinion of value provided by a RICS registered valuer can be relied upon.

Purchasers, lenders, sellers and insurers can instruct an independent RICS registered valuer with confidence that they will receive an honest, accurate and reliable valuation of the property and/or land in question.

 

How long does it take to produce a valuation report?

We aim to produce valuation reports within five to seven days of inspecting the property. Should you have any questions when you receive your report, you will be able to talk directly to the dedicated RICS valuer working on your behalf.

If there is need for an expediated report, please discuss this with us before the survey is carried out.
