Lease Extension – Inspection Based
RICS Chartered Surveyors and Registered Valuers
At Capital Leasehold Chartered Surveyors, our inspection-based reports combine expert valuation knowledge with a detailed on-site inspection. Ensuring you receive a reliable figure and a strong negotiation strategy.
When to Choose an Inspection Based Report
An inspection-based report is recommended when your flat meets one or more of the following criteria:
- High-Value or Prime Location Properties
In premium areas, even small details can substantially influence the valuation. An inspection-based approach ensures every aspect is properly accounted for. - Limited or No Comparable Properties
If your property is unlike others in the building or local area, comparable evidence may be weak — making inspection essential. Unusual or Unique Features
Architectural differences, extensions, irregular layouts, or unique characteristics often require a trained eye to assess their impact on value.Lease Under 80 Years Remaining
Less than 80 years on the lease can significantly affect the premium payable. An accurate assessment is crucial to ensure you do not overpay.
