Retrospective Valuations Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to some of the most common questions about our services and valuation process.
What is a RICS Retrospective Property Valuation?
It is an expert calculation of a property's Market Value pegged to an exact historical date (such as a date of death or original purchase).
Why do I need a Retrospective Valuation instead of a regular one?
Tax authorities like HMRC require the valuation to match the value on the specific day you acquired, inherited, or disposed of the asset, rather than what it is worth today.
In what situations are these reports required?
Typical triggers include calculating Inheritance Tax for Probate, determining Capital Gains Tax bases, or settling matrimonial/divorce asset divisions from a past separation date.
Are these valuations accepted by HMRC?
Yes. Official reports completed by a RICS Registered Valuer following strict Red Book standards provide the professional legal backing that HMRC and courts accept.
How far back in time can a retrospective valuation go?
They can go back many years, provided there is enough reliable historical transaction data and market evidence available for that neighbourhood.
What information must I provide to the surveyor?
You must supply the target date in the past, the intended purpose, proof of past alterations or extensions done prior to that date, and any historical deeds or photos if available.
How much do RICS Retrospective Valuations cost?

Quick to do the job. Quick to send out the survey. Understanding with my difficulty in being difficult to communicate with due to my heavy travel schedule. Quick to respond to a question after the survey was delivered and I had paid.
