  • Question for the hub mind - I own a flat 50/50 with my brother. I'm looking to buy some of his half from him so I have a bigger share (He has bought with his wife). We are both happy to do this and it's just a case of getting a valuation.

    How would you go about getting an accurate valuation of the property?

    I was going to get a number of estate agents to value it, remove the highest and lowest then average the rest. But do I tell them I'm not actually selling? I want an accurate value, not a 'we can get you xxx'.

    I don't think there are enough similar flats sold recently to go on sold prices.

  • You can normally pay a surveyor a couple of hundred to do a valuation survey, equivalent to what they would do for a mortgage.

  • I thought about that, but have had mixed experience when it comes to valuation reports from mortgage providers. I want a realistic market value so the deal is fair to both of us.
