How this calculator works
Every figure in this calculator is the one published in the cost table on our commercial valuation guide. Pick the option that matches your job and the calculator returns that published range, adjusted for your region - it does not model anything the guide does not already say.

It is a valuation carried out under the RICS Valuation — Global Standards by a registered valuer. Lenders, HMRC, auditors and courts require this standard because it fixes the basis, assumptions and date, and carries professional liability. A free agent appraisal does none of that.
Because the valuer takes on professional liability for the figure and must evidence it to a defined standard. An agent's appraisal is a marketing opinion given free in the hope of winning the instruction.
It is given as at a specific date. Most lenders will accept one up to three months old, and volatile markets shorten that. For accounts and tax purposes the effective date is fixed by the purpose.
Not usually, because the basis of value and the addressee differ. Tell the valuer every purpose at instruction — producing two reports from one inspection costs far less than commissioning twice.
