Garden land valuations in London and the Home Counties
At Capital Chartered, we provide specialised garden land valuations to assist buyers, leaseholders, and freeholders in understanding the value of garden land for various purposes. Whether intended as a standalone building plot or an extension to enhance existing property value, our RICS chartered surveyors offer expert valuation services across London to ensure fair pricing and informed decisions.
What is a garden land valuation?
A garden land valuation assesses the market value of garden land, whether for standalone purchase or as an extension of an existing property. This valuation process can apply to multiple scenarios:
- Standalone garden plot purchase: Buyers seeking a standalone garden plot will need a valuation to assess its fair market price
- Transfer between leaseholders: In cases where one flat owner seeks to purchase garden land from another within the same building, a valuation helps both parties negotiate a fair price
- Freeholder involvement: For transactions requiring freeholder consent, a valuation can help establish the premium for consent, providing an objective basis for pricing
Why does a garden land valuation matter?
A garden land valuation is essential for establishing a fair price when purchasing or transferring garden land. These valuations can be complex, requiring a chartered surveyor experienced in valuing property of this type. Understanding the land’s worth is crucial for negotiating a premium price with the seller, neighbouring leaseholder, or freeholder, ensuring the transaction aligns with market value. Capital Chartered’s experienced surveyors simplify the valuation process and offer negotiation support when needed, ensuring clarity and confidence for all parties.
