Property valuation for finance purposes often requires a registered valuer assessing a property's market value to support financial transactions such as obtaining a mortgage, refinancing, or equity release. These valuations comply with professional standards including but not limited to the International Valuations Standard (IVS) and include detailed reports that meet lender requirements, ensuring accuracy and reliability. They help determine the loan-to-value ratio and provide confidence to both borrowers and lenders in securing and managing property-related finance. 

Pre-purchase and pre-sale valuations are property assessments conducted before buying or selling a property. A pre-purchase valuation helps buyers determine the fair market value of a property, ensuring they are paying a reasonable price. On the other hand, a pre-sale valuation is performed for sellers to understand their property’s value before listing it on the market, enabling them to set a competitive price. Both valuations provide important insights into a property’s worth, helping buyers and sellers make informed decisions.

Matrimonial property valuation involves assessing the value of shared assets, such as real estate, during relationship property settlements. This valuation is conducted by a registered valuer to ensure an accurate and impartial assessment of the property's market value. It assists the court in fairly dividing property under the Property (Relationships) Act 1976, which governs the distribution of assets following separation or divorce.

Off-plan property valuation assesses the value of a property that is yet to be built, renovated, or extended, based on the provided plans and specifications. Referred to as an ‘As If Complete’ valuation, it reflects the property's projected value as of the valuation date under prevailing market conditions. The valuation assumes all construction or renovation work is completed as of the valuation date. These assessments are commonly required to secure financing for the project.

Construction valuation is similar to the Off-Plan Valuation. This type of valuation often involves the redevelopment of a large section into multiple units or dwellings, including subdivision upon project completion. The valuation is based on provided plans and specifications, and is determined as of the valuation date and prevailing market conditions. These valuations often also require progress assessments during the course of the redevelopment.

Registered valuations are often required for a variety of other reasons in addition to those previously mentioned. These include but are not limited to: tax purposes; compensation (often involving retrospective valuations such as for EQC claims); project and business planning; family trusts; and accounting purposes.
