Matrimonial Property Valuation

(RICS Compliant Valuation for Divorce and Separation Settlements)

During a divorce or separation, one of the most important steps in achieving a fair financial settlement is determining the accurate market value of any jointly owned property. A Matrimonial Valuation provides an impartial, professional assessment that both parties — and the courts, if necessary — can rely on when dividing assets or transferring ownership.

At Wignalls Land Surveyors, our RICS registered valuers deliver accurate, fully compliant reports that reflect the true market value of your home or investment property as of the assessment date. Whether your property will be sold, transferred to one party, or retained within a broader settlement, our valuations provide the clarity and transparency required in family proceedings.

What Is a Matrimonial Valuation?

A Matrimonial Valuation is a formal property valuation conducted in connection with divorce or separation proceedings. It establishes the current open market value of a property and supports fair division of assets under negotiation or court direction. These valuations are often required by solicitors, mediators, or family courts to ensure that any financial agreement is based on verified, professional data — not estimates or subjective opinions.

Our valuation reports are undertaken in accordance with RICS Valuation – Global Standards (Red Book), the benchmark for accuracy, impartiality, and professional conduct across the surveying industry.

What the Valuation Includes

A Matrimonial Valuation from Wignalls Land Surveyors typically includes:

A full inspection of the property and its condition
A market analysis using comparable local sales evidence
An independent valuation report in line with RICS Red Book standards
A clear statement of the assessed market value at the valuation date
Supporting commentary suitable for submission to solicitors or the courts

If required, we can also provide expert witness reports or additional valuations at different points in time to support ongoing negotiations or formal proceedings.
