Airspace valuations in London and the Home Counties

At Capital Chartered, we offer precise airspace valuations to assist leaseholders and freeholders in understanding the value of airspace above properties across London. Whether for expanding a top-floor apartment, purchasing airspace rights, or obtaining consent for alterations, our RICS chartered surveyors provide valuations that are compliant with legal standards, ensuring clear insights for your property decisions.

Why do airspace valuations matter?

Airspace valuations play a crucial role when leaseholders or freeholders consider developing or transferring rights to the airspace above a property. Proper valuation ensures fair pricing and financial viability, helping you make informed decisions on projects such as loft conversions or additional floors. These valuations are complex and rare, so having an expert Chartered Surveyor is essential

What is an airspace valuation?

An airspace valuation assesses the market value of the airspace above a property, whether to facilitate alterations, additions, or transactions between leaseholders and freeholders. Our experts provide comprehensive reports that reflect market conditions, helping you navigate the valuation of airspace above property and airspace over private property with clarity and precision.

Properties we value: Key insights into airspace in London’s real estate market

Our airspace valuations cover a range of property types across London, adapting to specific neighbourhood characteristics:

  • Prime Central London: High-value areas like Mayfair and Kensington require expert airspace valuations to determine the market premium for loft or extension projects

 

  • East London: Fast-growing neighbourhoods like Shoreditch benefit from valuations that account for rising property values and market demand

 

  • West London: Affluent areas, such as Chelsea and Hammersmith, gain value from our accurate airspace valuations, which are crucial for planning expansions or conversions

Common scenarios requiring airspace valuations

We provide airspace valuations in various scenarios to support property decisions:

  • Freeholder consent: When a leaseholder wishes to develop or alter a top-floor space, freeholders often require a premium valuation to grant consent

 

  • Airspace acquisition: Leaseholders interested in acquiring the airspace above their units need a valuation to establish fair market pricing for the transaction
