DESKTOP VALUATION (ESTABLISHED)
£250 + Vat
An extensive remote appraisal of your HMO/HMO development that will include an insight into the current or proposed valuation, expected rental income (if required), yield expectations and the long term value potential.
We collect our information from dozens of resources and from within a network built over many years and thousands of HMO valuations to establish a clear understanding of your HMO’s (or proposed HMO) value and this can be from a sales or lender’s perspective.
Our typical desktop valuations are for the following reasons:
- HMO Developers – are you looking for an accurate GDV appraisal of your upcoming or proposed HMO development? Our extensive report will enable you to have a more accurate understanding of the sales and refinance value, enabling you to confidently approach the deal with more clarity. One of our most common enquiries is from HMO developers/investors looking to understand their margins and numbers better on proposed ‘BRRR’ deals or add-value HMO developments and there is a general lack of comparable evidence available to most developers making accurate predictions over GDV difficult.
- HMO Investors – are you looking at purchasing a particular HMO deal (proposed via a ‘deal packager’ or established already) and would like a second, professional opinion on how much you should pay or expect the end value to be at?
- Private Lenders – We work with many private lenders who are seeking assurances over a proposed HMO development deal in terms of the expected end values as this creates a clearer picture on how much they can lend and how viable the deal is.
- Deal Packagers – We have worked with many deal packagers or bespoke investment advisors who are creating HMO properties for their investment clients and are seeking a professional and impartial report on the end value, thus giving confidence to their client and an added layer of due diligence to the process for both parties.
- Non-sale Related Valuations – We have worked with many clients over the years in assisting them with their non-sales related valuations in scenarios such as business disputes, divorces, probate and incorporation.
- Investor Packs – Are you creating an investor pack to raise private finance for a deal? Having your HMO development professional and impartially appraised by our expert team will create a much clearer picture for your potential angel investor and show that you understand the layers of due diligence better than most.
- Refinance Packs – Are you preparing for a refinance on your HMO/s and would benefit from a professional report containing comparable evidence and the trusted opinion of an HMO valuation expert? We have helped dozens of clients in a similar situation across many years secure a more favourable refinance.

Due to our reputation within the industry, our reports carry good weight with lenders and surveyors but we cannot guarantee a lender will agree based on their own calculations or assessment of your individual circumstances.
