Accurate Property Valuations for Divorce and Separation
A matrimonial valuation establishes the open market value of a property at a specific date, which is used by both parties and their legal advisers when dividing assets. Our surveyors assess key factors including:
- The property’s size, condition, and layout
- Comparable recent sales in the local area
- Location, demand, and market conditions
- Any factors affecting value such as structural issues or lease length
- Tenure, lease terms, and any encumbrances
The result is a clear, professionally prepared report that supports financial remedy proceedings and helps both parties work towards a fair settlement.

Matrimonial Valuation FAQs
What is a matrimonial valuation?
A matrimonial valuation is an independent assessment of a property’s market value, carried out for the purpose of dividing assets during divorce or separation proceedings.
What is a single joint expert?
A single joint expert (SJE) is a valuer appointed jointly by both parties to provide an independent report that both sides can rely on. This avoids the cost and delay of each party commissioning a separate valuation.
Can you act as a single joint expert?
Yes. Our Chartered Surveyors regularly act as single joint experts in matrimonial proceedings, providing impartial valuations accepted by both parties and the court.
What if one party disputes the valuation?
If either party disputes the valuation, they can raise written questions with the expert for clarification or, in some cases, seek permission from the court to instruct their own expert. Our reports are prepared to withstand this level of scrutiny.
How quickly can you carry out a matrimonial valuation?
We aim to carry out inspections and deliver reports promptly. Contact us to discuss your timeline, court deadlines, or any other requirements and we will confirm our availability.
