When do I need a Shared Ownership valuation?
A Shared Ownership Valuation is required if you bought a home using a shared ownership scheme and now wish to EITHER sell your share in the property OR purchase more shares in it (called ‘staircasing’).
When equity in a house is split, ownership is usually shared with a housing association. Different housing associations have slightly different rules when it comes to selling or buying a bigger share (‘staircasing’). However, most housing associations will require an independent valuation from a RICS Registered Valuer to ascertain the market value of the property. The market value is then used to set the sale price for the property (and the value of the respective shares) or, in the case of staircasing, the market valuation establishes the cost of purchasing more shares in the property.
Depending on the housing association and the reason for the valuation, home improvements that you have made during your period of ownership may or may not be taken into account when assessing the current value of your home.
