RICS Valuations in the Chichester Area

Probate / CGT / Matrimonial

Fallows provide professional 'Red Book' valuation reports for properties throughout Chichester and surrounding areas such as Emsworth, Bosham, The Witterings, Sidlesham, Selsey, Pagham, West Dean, Midhurst and Petworth.

Chichester is our home city, and both Guy Peters and Andrew Thomas spent many years working in the centre before relocating our offices to Chilgrove, within the South Downs National Park. Having lived and worked locally for decades, we have extensive knowledge of the area’s varied property market, from historic Georgian houses around the cathedral and modern apartments in the city centre, to coastal homes in Bosham and the Witterings and farmsteads in villages such as West Dean, Lavant and Charlton.

Chichester’s property market is shaped by unique factors: much of the city falls within conservation areas, while nearby coastal locations such as Fishbourne and Dell Quay are affected by tidal flood zones. To the north, properties close to Goodwood and the South Downs National Park often include listed buildings, equestrian facilities and farmland, requiring specialist valuation expertise.

We provide independent, RICS Red Book valuations across the district for a wide range of purposes, including Probate, Capital Gains Tax, Inheritance Tax and matrimonial proceedings. Whether you require a valuation of a period townhouse in Chichester, a harbourside cottage in Bosham, or agricultural land on the Chichester Plains, our team offers clear, professional advice backed by long-standing local experience.

We are a small (employee-owned) firm of Chartered Surveyors that specialise in providing Red Book valuations that are compliant for a range of formal purposes, such as Probate (Inheritance Tax), Capital Gains Tax, Lease Extensions and Matrimonial Settlements. We can value homes, land and farms.

Capital Gains Tax Valuations

....including historical valuations for land and property in the Chichester area

Fallows frequently prepare professional RICS valuations in Chichester and across West Sussex for Capital Gains Tax (CGT) purposes. Our reports are HMRC-compliant and provide clear market evidence to support your tax return. Whether you are disposing of a single property in Chichester, gifting assets to family or managing a portfolio spread across West Sussex, our experienced valuers deliver reliable and independent advice.

In many cases, Capital Gains Tax valuations require a historical assessment of value — for example, as at April 1982, or at the date of inheritance or gift. Fallows regularly undertake these retrospective valuations, using archived market data and our professional judgement to provide a robust figure that can be defended to HMRC if required.

Our knowledge of the Chichester property market ensures every valuation reflects local conditions and comparable evidence. This local expertise, combined with our Red Book standards, gives confidence to both our clients and their advisers.

Valuations for divorce/ matimonial settlements

Fallows can value residential and agricultural property in the Chichester area for Matrimonial Settlements

Fallows provide independent RICS valuations in Chichester and throughout West Sussex for divorce and matrimonial proceedings.

Divorce settlements often require both parties to agree on the value of property assets. Fallows act as Single Joint Experts (SJE) where instructed, ensuring one independent report is prepared for use by both sides.

Alternatively, if each party wants to employ their own Valuer, then we can prepare a report for one of the parties. It's important for the two parties to agree on their preferred approach (i.e a joint instruction, or to use seperate valuers) before they speak or engage with a valuer, as sometimes any prior contact can sometimes upset the otherside and prejudice the instruction.

Our impartial approach helps to minimise disputes and keeps negotiations focused on reliable market evidence.

Having worked extensively across West Sussex, we can value homes of almost any size throughout Chichester, Emsworth, Bosham, The Witterings, Sidlesham, Selsey, Pagham, West Dean, Midhurst and Petworth.

Why use Fallows?

Our Unique Selling Points....

HMRC Acceptance Guarantee

We will guarantee that our reports are to the standard demanded by HMRC and therefore acceptable to them. Please note that this does mean that valuation figure will also be accepted, but a fully compliant report is less likely to be queried.


Experience in Land

There are very few valuation firms with experience in land, whether that's development land, farmland or equestrian. One of our Partners is a Land Agent with over 20 years experience in valuing and managing agricultural property including complusory purchase compensation, agricultural tenancies and valuing agricultural property relief.



We are not Estate Agents

Estate Agents can be conflicted when giving valuation advice, because the work might lead to a subsequent sale or instruction. We are Chartered Surveyors and therefore give trust and compliant reports to teh standards required by the RICS and HMRC.

Our Smart Map helps you and us

Our Smart Map uses Land Registry data. You can zoom in, see your property boundaries, select your property, and then that gets sent to Fallows. We can then quickly determine whether you live in a cottage or a castle and can therefore give you a genuine fixed price quotation. No awkward telephone calls trying to explain the piece of land you might own, and the comfort of receiving a fixed price quotation.



Free Drone Video

Whenever we visit a property, a Valuer will always have a drone with them. Sometimes these are useful to a get a better look a roofs or extensive land areas. We provide the video footage to you free-of-charge.

Competative Pricing

We are a small firm with low overheads. We only specialise in valuations, and that means we can justify several valuation specific subscriptions that helps to speed up our background checks and research. For example, in just a few seconds, we can display maps showing current and historical planning applciations and development allocations on or around a property. It's a process that otherwise takes many hours. This means we can provide a comprehensive valuation service, at a affordable and fixed price.
