We provide RICS Red Book property valuations in Chichester for Probate, Capital Gains Tax (CGT) and Matrimonial purposes.
Our valuations are carried out by a Chartered Surveyor and are fully compliant with HMRC, the courts and professional advisers, making them suitable for Inheritance Tax reporting, CGT calculations, divorce and financial settlements, and other formal legal or tax requirements.
Whether you require a probate valuation for an estate, a retrospective CGT valuation to establish a base cost, or an independent matrimonial valuation, we offer clear, defensible reports for residential property, land and rural assets across Chichester and the surrounding West Sussex area.
Why Fallows?
We're local, with an office at Chilgrove near Chichester.
We’ve decided to do things a little differently. We are a small, specialised team of Chartered Surveyors who focus exclusively on property valuations. We don’t sell houses, or manage blocks; we just provide the expert, unbiased evidence you need for things like Probate, Capital Gains Tax, or Divorce settlements.
Because we’ve kept our team small and agile, and don't have a High Street office, we can be much more efficient than traditional firms. Our technologies and systems are tailored specifically for valuations, with access to property information and comparables databases that others struggle to justify. It allows us to offer a highly professional, fixed-price Valuation Package that gives you total certainty on cost and quality from day one.
Why our specialised approach works for you:
-
Better Data: Because valuations are our only focus, we’ve invested in mapping and planning systems. This gives us a much deeper view of local planning risks, development opportunities, and "heat maps" of local sales that standard databases simply miss.
-
Direct & Friendly: You’ll deal directly with the surveyors doing the work. We move quickly, speak plainly, and are always happy to explain the "why" behind our findings.
-
Excellent Value: By staying small and tech-led, we keep our overheads low. We pass those saving, and that efficiency, directly on to you.
Our Chichester Valuation Package Includes:
All valuations are conducted in accordance with the RICS Valuation – Global Standards (The Red Book) and are fully HMRC compliant for taxation purposes.
| Status | Service | Benefit Detail |
|---|---|---|
| ✔ | Boundary Reconciliation | We overlay Land Registry data with OS mapping and aerial imagery to catch ransom strips and title anomalies—essential for RICS-compliant due diligence. |
| ✔ | Planning Audit | Advanced scanning for neighboring development promotions and allocations, ensuring the valuation reflects "Hope Value" or potential depreciation accurately. |
| ✔ | Land Opportunities | Expert navigation of overage agreements and Class Q/R conversion potential, providing the robust evidence required for HMRC and probate valuations. |
| ✔ | Drone Inspection | If required, aerial surveys identify structural and boundary markers often missed at ground level, included at no extra cost to provide a comprehensive audit trail. |
