Retrospective property valuations in London and the Home Counties

At Capital Chartered, we understand that sometimes, you need a valuation that looks back rather than forward.

Whether for tax purposes, probate, or legal disputes, our team of experienced RICS chartered surveyors is equipped to deliver accurate retrospective valuations that stand up to scrutiny.

What is a retrospective property valuation?

A retrospective valuation of property is an assessment of a property’s market value at a specified date in the past. This type of valuation is often required for:

  • Inheritance tax calculations and probate
  • Divorce settlements or other legal proceedings
  • Capital gains tax assessments
  • Retrospective insurance valuations
  • Assessing the value of properties for historical records

At Capital Chartered, we specialise in providing backdated house valuations and retrospective property valuations that are compliant with RICS standards. These valuations are based on comprehensive market analysis from the time in question, ensuring the historical accuracy required for legal or financial purposes.

The retrospective valuation process

Our approach to retrospective property valuations is methodical and thorough. We gather key historical data and compare it to the property’s condition and relevant market trends at the time of the required valuation date. Our process includes:

  • Initial consultation: We discuss your needs and the specific date for the retrospective valuation

  • Data collection: We review historical market data, comparable property sales, and any significant local economic factors from the relevant time

  • On-site survey (if required): In some cases, we may perform an on-site survey to ensure the property’s condition matches the historical data we have gathered

  • Valuation report: You will receive a comprehensive retrospective valuation report that details the property’s value at the specified past date

Our reports are crafted with the utmost care, ensuring that every aspect of the retrospective property valuation complies with RICS Redbook valuation standards, providing the reliability and precision needed for legal and financial documentation.

Common scenarios requiring retrospective valuations

A backdated property valuation may be necessary in various scenarios. These include:

  • Divorce settlements: In divorce cases, the value of the family home or other property may need to be assessed at a date in the past

  • Tax assessments: Capital gains tax may require a backdated house valuation to assess tax liabilities accurately
