What is a RICS Valuation?
You may be asked in the process of buying, selling or mortgaging your home to obtain a RICS Valuation or Red Book Valuation. This is a formal opinion of value which can be relied upon by the instructing party. They are often confused with a 'market appraisal' which is an informal opinion on a suitable guide price for a property, and which are provided by estate agents in the hope of being instructed to sell a property.
We are RICS Registered Valuers. This means that we are part of the risk monitoring and quality assurance programme, operating to the stringent criteria set by the RICS. It also means that we are highly qualified, impartial, and up to date with the latest industry practices.

Jack StampsAndrew did a great job with our shared ownership valuation, and was attentive and helped alleviate any questions we had.
Kevin BraggAndrew’s Level 3 Survey report for our potential purchase of a 375-year-old house provided exactly the right amount of detail for us to be able to negotiate with the vendor over any perceived issues. Communication with Lockwood was excellent before and after the survey was done and we would highly recommend them to others.
Lindsey BunceWe had a great experience with Charles, who carried out a valuation of our property. He was professional, knowledgeable and friendly throughout, taking the time to explain everything clearly. We really appreciated his helpful and straightforward approach. Thanks also to Sandrine and Andrew who were so helpful and accommodating when we needed to change the date.
