| We ensure the accuracy of valuations by our supporting
reports which record our consideration of the valuation factors eg.
third party rights, development potential, pollution and environmental
considerations, together with an assessment of the market. |



The "Red Book"


 All valuations
made by members of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors must now
be made in accordance with the Institution's Manual of Valuation
Practice, commonly known as "The Red Book". This practice is
mandatory other then in a few limited circumstances and obliges
instructions to be taken in detail, for valuations to be made in writing
and to address a series of standard issues.
Fees



Fixed fees are quoted for valuations and reports which will depend on
the complexity of the valuation. Typically this may be based on £1 for
every £1000 of value for largely residential property or fixed fee
based on an hourly charge for agricultural holdings and estates.
Disbursements and expenses are included plus VAT based on our terms of
business. |

Base values



MSW Hewetsons undertakes many negotiations with third parties in order to
establish "base values" for tax and other purposes. These may be for
Capital gains tax, divorce settlements, probate, insurance or for compulsory
purchase compensation purposes, for example. We are highly experienced in
negotiating with the District Valuers office. The requirements for different
values under different circumstances is supported by our technical knowledge
and proven negotiating skills.
