Valuation Service

Valuation is both art and science requiring the application of judgement to calculations made from technical information gathered in the field. Our team of valuers brings together a wealth of expertise to identify the issues and deliver an informed opinion on which our clients can rely. Throughout the East Midlands and South Yorkshire, our valuers are familiar with properties as varied as residential and retail, farms and factories. With a good track record, we are supported by substantial professional indemnity insurance giving a further foundation of reassurance that our valuations are dependable.

At JHWalter, we have valuation experience covering the following property types:

Commercial Valuation

Commercial property is a wide discipline within which our valuers will advise on shops and retail property, industrial premises such as factories and warehouses, offices and leisure property including public houses. With experience in all types of commercial and residential development land as well as investment property, we can tackle intricate valuation issues.

Agricultural Valuation

Agricultural and rural property valuations not only include farm valuations, small holdings and fields but also major landed estates, diversification projects, horticultural property, glasshouses equestrian property and rural homes

Residential Valuation

The valuation of residential property is not limited to standard single dwellings. At JHWalter, we specialise in unique and individual houses and undertake valuation of residential investments and portfolios.

Based in Lincoln, we can offer a valuation service over the East Midlands including Lincolnshire (as well as South Humberside/North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire), Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire and northern Cambridgeshire. Also, our service extends into South Yorkshire.

Examples

On behalf of a major lender, we prepared a bank valuation on a racing yard, land and gallops in the East Midlands. JHWalter was able to tackle this unusual property through team expertise in residential, agricultural and equestrian markets.

On behalf of a number of parties to litigation, we have provided expert valuation advice under Civil Procedure Rules (CPR) on the extent to which value has been damaged by events. The house affected by unexpected aircraft noise; the shop with dry rot and structural movement not highlighted in a survey; the development site without a vital right of way and the diminution in value as a result of dilapidations (section 18 valuation).

On behalf of lenders and landowners, John Elliott has given advice on many development opportunities. These have included more than 30 acres of land zoned for housing in a Lincolnshire town; a closed military base with potential to develop and improve quarters, mess buildings, hangars and specialist buildings; substantial urban fringe land not yet available for development but providing undoubted long term and profitable prospects.
