Valuations for Secured Lending
Lenders require Red Book valuations by an RICS Registered Valuer before advancing against commercial property. We provide bank-compliant reports with clear assumptions and market evidence.
Company Accounts & Financial Reporting
We value property assets for balance-sheet and financial-reporting purposes, including under FRS 102, so your accounts reflect fair value defensibly.
Purchase, Sale & Investment
Whether you are acquiring, disposing of or holding commercial property, an independent valuation informs the price and the yield — backed by local knowledge of London’s commercial market.
Rent Review & Lease Advisory
Our valuers also act on rent reviews and lease renewals for both landlords and tenants, keeping rents at genuine market level.

How We Value Commercial Property
Depending on the asset, we apply the investment method (capitalising rental income at an evidenced yield), the comparable method, the profits method for trading premises such as restaurants, or the residual method for development sites. Reports set out the tenancy analysis, covenant considerations, comparable transactions and yield evidence behind the figure — so lenders, auditors and HMRC can follow the reasoning, not just the conclusion.
Local Market Knowledge That Moves the Numbers
Yields and rents in London shift street by street: a secondary parade in Merton performs differently from a Wimbledon town centre unit or an Essex trade counter. We track lettings and sales across South West London and Essex, which means our comparable evidence is current and genuinely local — often the difference between a figure that gets challenged and one that gets accepted.
Fees and Turnaround
Commercial valuation fees are quoted individually based on asset type, complexity and purpose, and agreed before instruction. Straightforward single-asset valuations are typically inspected within a week and reported within five to ten working days. Portfolio and multi-asset instructions are programmed to your deadline. If you also need advice on the building itself, our commercial building surveys and dilapidations teams work alongside the valuation so you get a complete picture of asset and liability.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most income-producing commercial property is valued by capitalising its rental income at a yield evidenced by comparable investment transactions. Owner-occupied and trading properties may instead use the comparable or profits methods, and development sites the residual method. We select and explain the appropriate method in every report.
Fees depend on the asset’s type, size, tenancy complexity and the valuation purpose. Single-asset valuations in London and Essex typically start in the mid-hundreds of pounds; we always confirm a fixed quote before you instruct.
Our reports are Red Book-compliant and prepared by RICS Registered Valuers with professional indemnity insurance, the standard banks and private lenders require. If your lender operates a panel, we can liaise with them directly to confirm acceptance before you pay for anything.
Yes — mixed-use buildings are a core part of our London and Essex workload. We value the commercial and residential elements on their appropriate bases and report a properly reconciled overall figure.
They answer different questions: the valuation tells you what the property is worth; a commercial building survey tells you what condition it is in and what it will cost to maintain. Buyers and tenants taking full repairing leases often need both — we can combine the instructions to save time and cost.
