Capital Gains Tax Property Valuation UK | RICS Retrospective Valuations

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.

When do you need a CGT valuation?

You may require a valuation for Capital Gains Tax where:

  • You are calculating a gain on sale of a non primary residence property

  • A property has been transferred between family members

  • You have changed use (e.g. from main residence to rental)

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

  • Your accountant has requested a supporting valuation report

If you are unsure whether a valuation is required, we are happy to provide a quick initial view.

What we provide

All reports are prepared by an MRICS Chartered Surveyor and are suitable for submission to HMRC.

  • RICS Red Book-compliant valuation report

  • Clear statement of market value at the relevant date

  • Reliance for the necessary tax authority (E.g. HMRC)

  • Issued as a formal PDF report

Desktop valuation approach

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

  • Land Registry data

  • Historic sales evidence

  • Market analysis at the valuation date

  • Information provided by the client

In most cases this avoids the need for a physical inspection, reducing both cost and turnaround time.

Where a property is particularly complex or unsuitable for a desktop approach, we will advise accordingly.
