In the event of a separation or divorce, valuable assets – including your home – will need to be divided fairly between both parties. In order to do this accurately, it’s necessary for a matrimonial valuation to be carried out on your main home and any shared properties, by a RICS certified expert. Having a formal property valuation will help to protect the interests of both parties, limiting the scope for dispute.
Before attending a Court hearing about your separation, it is advantageous to have already agreed upon issues such as property values, and it is normal practice not to have expert witnesses appear with you. Instead, a Surveyor or Valuer should be jointly appointed to provide a report prior to the Court date.
