What Is a Commercial Valuation?
A commercial valuation is a formal assessment of how much a commercial property is worth on the open market at a specific point in time.
Purchase or sale
Refinancing or secured lending
Pension fund purposes (including SIPPs)
Company accounts
Tax planning
Probate or estate matters
Types of Commercial Property We Value
We carry out commercial valuations across Surrey for a wide range of property types, including:
- Retail units and shops
- Office buildings
- Industrial units and warehouses
- Mixed‑use properties
- Small commercial investments
- Freehold and long leasehold interests
Each valuation reflects the property’s location, condition, lease terms (if let), and current market conditions.
How We Assess Commercial Property Value
After Notice has been served on the Adjoining Owner, they have 14 days in which to respond with their written consent. If they would like there to be any changes to your plans, a counter-notice to request these alterations must be provided. If consent has not been given within the 14-day window, it is considered as a dispute.
If the Adjoining Owner is not happy with the proposed works, both parties are entitled to seek professional arbitration by instructing Party Wall Award Surveyors. They may use the same, or separate surveyors, whose job it then is to impartially negotiate terns between the parties and draw up a Party Wall Award.
Valuations for Secured Lending
If you are refinancing or arranging a commercial mortgage, a lender may require an independent valuation.
We provide:
- RICS compliant valuation reports
- Clear market commentary
- Professional, objective advice
- Prompt turnaround where timescales are tight
Our reports are designed to meet lender requirements while remaining straightforward for you to read and understand.
Valuations for Pension Funds (SIPP & SSAS)
Commercial property is often held within pension structures such as SIPPs (Self-Invested Personal Pensions) or SSAS (Small Self-Administered Schemes).
We provide:
- Acquisition valuations
- Transfer valuations
- Annual revaluation reports
- Open market rental assessments
These must comply with strict regulatory standards, and accuracy is essential. We are experienced in working with pension trustees and advisers across Surrey.
Commercial Valuations for Tax and Probate
In certain situations, a formal valuation is required for:
- Capital Gains Tax
- Inheritance Tax
- Probate
- Company restructuring
We provide carefully considered reports that can be relied upon for professional and legal purposes.
We understand these matters can be sensitive, and we approach them with care and discretion.

Why do I need a valuation?
Most mortgage lenders will insist upon a property valuation as a precondition for the loan, to ensure there is adequate security in case of loan repayment problems or defaulting on the mortgage. In addition, there are a number of reasons why you may wish to get your own private valuation, such as:
Independent RICS regulated practice
Over 35 years advising Surrey property owners
Strong local reputation
Professional, balanced advice
Modern reporting with traditional personal service
