In the case of separation or divorce, a formal property valuation is often required to assist solicitors and the courts in fairly dividing assets. A matrimonial valuation provides an impartial and accurate assessment of the property’s market value as of a specific date, typically the date of separation or as instructed by legal representatives.

Unlike informal estimates or estate agent opinions, a Red Book–compliant valuation from a qualified RICS Registered Valuer ensures credibility and objectivity. This is crucial in contentious cases, where an independent valuation can help resolve disputes and avoid prolonged legal proceedings.
