Capital Gains Tax Property Valuations

RICS Valuations For Capital Gains Tax Purposes

Capital Gains Tax (CGT) Property Valuations

We provide RICS-compliant Capital Gains Tax (CGT) property valuations for residential properties across the UK.

These valuations are often required where a property has been sold, transferred, gifted, inherited, or used for a period as something other than the owner’s main residence. Typical scenarios include but are not limited to: 

  • Transferring property between individuals

  • When a property is rented or not used as a primary residence

  • Gifted Properties

  • Inherited and later sold

  • Let or moved into rental use

  • Moving tax jurisdiction

In most cases, HMRC requires a retrospective valuation at a specific date, often several years in the past.

We specialise in desktop valuations, allowing us to provide a fast, cost-effective service without the need for a site inspection.

  • You need to establish a market value at a historic date

What we provide

  • RICS Red Book-compliant valuation report

  • Clear statement of market value at the relevant date

Desktop valuation approach

Most CGT valuations can be completed on a desktop basis, using:

  • Land Registry data

  • Historic sales evidence
