How much do valuations cost?

This depends on what is required and we can tailor our service to meet a client’s specific needs. Our fees take into account the size and complexity of the property (and business) in question and we welcome the opportunity to discuss this and your requirements prior to agreeing an appropriate and competitive fee.

How is a business and its assets valued?

Our approach sees a number of specific valuation techniques utilised, including depreciated replacement cost, for which detailed costings are analysed and applied to build up the capital figure. Other figures are taken into account such as obsolescence and particular consideration is given to the value of land element. All of these intricacies emphasise the need for a thorough and complex appraisal to arrive at the correct level of value.
