What is a capital gains tax valuation?

A capital gains tax valuation is an assessment of a property’s value at a specific point in time, used to calculate the taxable gain when the property is sold or transferred. The gain is the difference between the property’s sale price and market value at an earlier date. Accurate valuation of property for capital gains tax is critical in ensuring you pay the correct amount of tax while avoiding potential legal issues.

We provide CGT valuations for a wide range of properties, including residential, commercial, and investment properties.

Why are capital gains tax valuations important?

If you are selling a property or gifting it to a family member, you may be liable for capital gains tax (CGT). An accurate valuation of property for CGT purposes ensures that you correctly calculate the amount of tax payable, reducing the risk of disputes with HMRC or costly penalties. Our property valuation for CGT purposes complies with RICS standards, providing you with reliable and precise valuation reports that meet all legal and financial requirements.
