Property Valuations in Southampton

Fallows provide independent RICS valuations across Southampton and the surrounding Solent towns. The city has one of the most varied housing markets on the south coast, from modern waterside apartments in Ocean Village, to student lets around Portswood, through to suburban family homes in Bitterne, Shirley and Chilworth.

Portfolios and Let Property

We are often instructed to value rental portfolios and investment properties along the South, especially in Portsmouth and Southampton. The city’s large student population and busy rental market mean landlords and investors regularly require valuations for probate, inheritance tax, capital gains tax and matrimonial purposes. We also carry out lease extension and enfranchisement valuations for flat owners across the city.

Clear and Independent Advice

Our RICS-regulated reports are prepared in line with the Red Book and accepted by HMRC, solicitors and financial advisers. Whether you need a probate valuation on a rented terrace in Portswood, a capital gains assessment on a block of buy-to-let flats near the city centre, or a matrimonial valuation for a suburban home in Totton, we provide clear, independent reporting that you can rely on.

Capital Gains Tax Valuations

Private Residence Relief | Disposals | Transfers | Gifts

If you need a Capital Gains Tax valuation in Southampton, Fallows can provide a clear, independent report that meets HMRC requirements. Our RICS-regulated valuations are designed to give you the market evidence you need to support your tax return, whether you are selling a single flat, transferring assets within the family, or dealing with a larger rental portfolio.

CGT valuations often involve working out what a property was worth at a specific point in the past, for example April 1982, or the date of inheritance or gift. These retrospective assessments require both reliable archived market data and sound professional judgement. We prepare valuations that are transparent, defensible, and able to stand up to HMRC scrutiny if needed.

Southampton’s property market is highly varied, from student houses in Portswood and investment flats in the city centre, to waterside apartments in Ocean Village and family homes in suburbs like Bitterne and Shirley. We are also regularly asked to value portfolios of buy-to-let properties, where accuracy and consistency are essential.

If you need a CGT valuation in Southampton or the wider Hampshire area, get in touch with Fallows for straightforward, independent advice.

Probate Valuations in Southampton

At Fallows, we carry out professional probate valuations in Southampton and across Hampshire. Our RICS Red Book reports are fully HMRC-compliant and are regularly relied upon by solicitors for their clarity and independence. We can provide valuations for all types of property, from city centre flats and student houses, to suburban family homes and larger rental portfolios.

We recognise that probate valuations are often required at a very difficult and sensitive time. Families are dealing with loss, legal responsibilities, and sometimes complex decisions. Our role is to make the process a little easier by offering a service that is discreet, considerate, and dependable. We work closely with executors, beneficiaries, and legal advisers to ensure everything is handled carefully and efficiently.

Southampton’s property market is wide-ranging, with everything from waterside apartments in Ocean Village to student lets in Portswood and long-standing suburban homes in Shirley, Bitterne, and Chilworth. Our valuations reflect these local variations while meeting the high professional standards set by the RICS Red Book, ensuring every report is both reliable and defensible.

Valuations for divorce/ matimonial settlements

Property is often one of the biggest assets to be resolved during divorce proceedings. At Fallows, we provide independent RICS valuations in Southampton to help ensure a fair and transparent process.

In many cases, the court or solicitors will ask us to act as a Single Joint Expert (SJE), preparing one impartial report that both parties can use. This approach helps reduce conflict and keeps the focus on reliable evidence rather than opinion.

There are also situations where each party wishes to appoint their own valuer. We can prepare independent reports in these cases too. However, it’s usually advisable for both sides to agree on the approach before instructing a valuer, as early contact without agreement can sometimes add unnecessary complications.

Our reports are clear, professional, and based on strong market data, giving solicitors and clients confidence that the figures can be relied upon.

We are available to provide matrimonial valuations on a wide range of properties across Southampton, from city apartments and student rentals in Portswood, to suburban homes in Bitterne and Shirley, and larger detached houses in Chilworth and surrounding villages.

Why use Fallows?

Our Unique Selling Points....

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.

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.


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.

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.

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.
