Good people,anyone know someone 'affordable'who does valuation of property[houses].
I have met one who says the cost of valuation is based on the value of the house. [chicken and egg biznes- which came first?

Funny coz i need to est. the market value of 3br 'old' house for purpose of insurance / selling. The insurance chaps do not have any 'approved list,' like that of car valuers because the 'market is distorted' Heelp!!!

For i am the master and the captain of my fate !

Where is the house and which risk are you insuring against? The cost of valuation is never prohibitive for its based on a negotiable scale. Provide me with the above info and I will be able to give you a cost range.

True guys the valuation fees are usualyy dependent on the value of the house. See the Valuers Act Cap 532.

I see the reason why you need a valuation is to either insure your house or sell it. Most insurance companies will require you to give a valuation report that has been signed by a reigstered valuer so if you go to a quantity surveyor..it will be an exercise in futility,they will still require you to go back to a valuer. Valuers and Qs's are birds of a feather just in case you didnt know.

All in all i would still advise you to seek a valuers opinion. He will and should be able to provide you with the following values if you so require. 1. Market Value 2. Mortgage Value 3. Forced Sale Value 4. Insurance Value. By doing so you will be killing two birds with one stone.

Just go to a directory and chose a valuer randomly. It might be your lucky day and by the way you can always negotiate!!

Contact me at mkhenri@gmail.com. I'll definitely get you a good valuer.
