What is an RICS Property Valuation
A RICS property valuation is a formal assessment of a property's market value prepared by a qualified RICS Registered Valuer. It is different from a Home Survey: a valuation establishes the property's value for a specified purpose and date, whereas a survey provides a more detailed assessment of its physical condition and defects.
