This page provides Harding’s existing residential market valuation report example. It is an illustration of a particular report, not a valuation of your property or a promise that every instruction uses the same format.
Use it to understand the presentation, then tell us the purpose and intended recipient when enquiring about your own report.

Start with the instruction, not just the figure
When reading a valuation report, establish why it was commissioned, who may use it and which property interest is being valued. Those points provide the context for the conclusion.
The basis of value and valuation date are also important. A market valuation for a particular date is not automatically suitable for a historic tax event, a lender or another organisation’s process.
Read our RICS valuation guide if you are unfamiliar with these terms.
Read the scope and assumptions together
Consider the inspection, information relied upon, assumptions and limitations alongside the opinion of value. A figure detached from that context can be misunderstood.
Your own instruction may require different evidence, reporting or restrictions. A lease, tenancy, unusual construction, several units or a specialist purpose can change the work needed.
Do not use a sample’s conclusion or assumptions as evidence of the value or condition of your own property. Explain your circumstances so the appropriate scope can be agreed.
Do you need a different report?
This is a residential market valuation example. A commercial valuation example is available separately.
Tax, probate, matrimonial and housing-scheme instructions may have their own dates, information and recipient requirements. Choose the relevant service from our valuation hub rather than assume that a sample fits every purpose.
A valuation is also different from a building survey. If you need detailed advice on defects, repairs or the condition of a property, discuss the appropriate survey service.
Fees for your own valuation
Our published starting fee is £600 including VAT (£500 + VAT) for a single residential unit within the M25 in the lowest applicable property-value band. Your quotation confirms the purpose, scope and fee before instruction. More complex properties, multiple units, additional research and locations outside this area are quoted individually.
The report example can be viewed using the links above. A quotation for your own valuation depends on the property, interest, purpose, required date and reporting scope.
Confirm the total fee, VAT treatment, included work and arrangements for any further instruction. The valuation cost guide explains what to compare.
Arrange a report for your property
Send the address, property type, tenure and occupation details. Explain why the valuation is needed, the required valuation date and who will receive the report.
Include any instructions supplied by your solicitor, accountant, lender or scheme administrator. Relevant title, lease, tenancy and historic documents help define the service.
We will confirm the appropriate scope and arrangements. The RICS standards provide the professional framework; they do not make one example a universal template for every instruction.
What our clients say
Residential property valuation report example FAQs
Is this a valuation of my property?
No. It is a published example of a residential market valuation report. Your property needs its own instruction and assessment.
Will my report have exactly the same contents?
Not necessarily. The purpose, property interest, date, intended users and relevant requirements determine the appropriate scope and presentation.
Can I open or download the PDF directly?
Yes. Use the direct PDF links above if the embedded document is not displayed by your browser.
Is there a commercial report example?
Yes. The separate commercial valuation report example page provides the published commercial document. It should also be read as an illustration of its own instruction.
Does the sample replace a building survey?
No. A valuation and a building survey answer different questions. Request the appropriate condition or specialist service where required.
What information is needed for my own quotation?
Provide the address, purpose, required valuation date, intended recipient and relevant property documents. Include any recipient instructions or deadline.
