  • My house is in a small mews courtyard, owned by the previous owner of my house. I want to buy this courtyard (and she wants to sell) but I don't know how to get it valued. It cannot be built on, and it's only value is to us and our neighbours. To anyone else (including the seller) it's pure liability.

    Would a normal estate agent be the right person to value this or are there some kind of specialist valuers?

  • Have you asked the seller how much they want? Bits of land like this are usually best priced by a discussion between you. It doesn't matter what a valuer says it's worth if one of you won't agree to the figure.

    If you must do it formally then the usual is to get a surveyor to provide a formal valuation which you and the seller split the cost of 50/50 and agree to abide by, but that could be a waste of time is one of you has unrealistic expectations.
