Capital Gains Tax Valuation (CGT)

What’s the purpose of a capital gains tax valuation?

A house valuation for capital gains tax is essential not just for meeting legal requirements but also for ensuring fair tax treatment. Whether you're evaluating capital gains tax on property sold recently or decades ago, our accurate assessments help ensure that you are neither overpaying nor underpaying.

Our experienced surveyors specialise in delivering detailed reports that are robust enough for both your accountant and HMRC. If your capital gains tax valuation faces scrutiny from the District Valuer, we are equipped to negotiate on your behalf, ensuring your interests are well represented.

Navigating CGT valuations

For already sold properties, our team conducts efficient and reliable valuations, taking into account the condition and status of the property at the required dates. This includes drive-by and desktop valuations, providing flexibility and adherence to compliance standards.

Understanding capital gains tax

Capital gains tax is due when you sell an asset that has increased in value. The amount of CGT depends on various factors, including the size of the gain and your income, with rates potentially reaching 18% or 28% for residential properties.
