Valuations in Haslemere & Godalming
Red Book Valuations for Formal Purposes
Our surveyors, Andrew Thomas and Guy Peters, seperately worked as Surveyors in Guildford and Chichester before coming together to form Fallows. As a result, Haslemere and Godalming have always remained firmly within their patch, and they continue to provide independent, RICS-regulated valuations across West Sussex and Surrey. Their reports cover a full range of requirements, including Probate, Inheritance Tax, Capital Gains Tax, matrimonial proceedings and lease extensions.
The local property market is wide-ranging. In Haslemere, we assess period cottages, country houses and modern homes popular with commuters, as well as rural holdings in and out of the South Downs National Park. Godalming offers its own mix of riverside properties, Victorian terraces, family homes in Busbridge, Farncombe and Charterhouse, and land within the Surrey Hills. We are also frequently instructed on equestrian properties, smallholdings and farmland in the wider area.
Whether it is a cottage in Haslemere, a riverside home in Godalming, or woodland on the edge of the Downs, our clients benefit from Andrew and Guy’s local knowledge, professional expertise and clear, independent advice.
Probate & IHT Valuations in Haslemere & Godalming
When someone passes away, one of the formal steps is often to obtain a professional valuation of their property. At Fallows, we provide independent RICS probate valuations in Haslemere, Godalming and the surrounding Surrey Hills, giving families and executors the clear figures they need for HMRC.
Our reports follow the RICS Red Book standards, which means they are recognised as compliant and reliable for probate, inheritance tax and estate administration. Whether the estate includes a cottage in Godalming, a family house in Haslemere, farmland, or a group of rental properties, we can prepare valuations that are accurate and defensible.
We understand this process comes at a difficult and emotional time. That’s why we take a sensitive, discreet approach, aiming to make things as straightforward as possible. We liaise directly with solicitors, executors and family members so that everyone involved can feel reassured the valuation has been handled properly.
Haslemere and Godalming both have varied property markets — from traditional Surrey Hills homes with character features, to modern commuter properties, and high-value countryside residences. Our knowledge of these markets, combined with a structured and professional reporting process, ensures that each valuation reflects real conditions and can be relied upon when it matters most.
Capital Gains Tax Valuations in Haslemere & Godalming
| Disposals | Transfers | Gifts | Private Residence Relief
Dealing with Capital Gains Tax can feel complicated, but getting the right valuation makes the process far easier. At Fallows, we provide independent RICS reports in Haslemere, Godalming and the wider Surrey Hills area. Our valuations are fully HMRC-compliant and give you the clear figures you need for your return.
Sometimes, a CGT valuation isn’t about today’s value at all, but about what a property was worth years ago — perhaps in April 1982, or at the time of an inheritance or gift. These “look-back” valuations require careful research into historic market data, balanced with professional judgement. That’s where our expertise comes in: we produce reports that are straightforward, defensible, and ready to stand up to HMRC if necessary.
Haslemere and Godalming offer a broad mix of property, from hillside cottages and period houses in market towns, to larger country homes and commuter properties within reach of London. For landlords, we also handle valuations of buy-to-let portfolios, ensuring consistency across multiple addresses.

Valuations for divorce/ matimonial settlements
In Haslemere and Godalming
When relationships break down, deciding how to divide property is often one of the hardest steps. At Fallows, we provide independent RICS valuations in Haslemere, Godalming and the surrounding Surrey Hills, helping to keep the process fair and manageable.
Sometimes we are instructed as a Single Joint Expert (SJE), preparing one neutral valuation report that both parties and their legal advisers can use. This route is often more cost-effective and reduces the risk of unnecessary disputes, as both sides are working from the same evidence.
In other situations, each party may choose to instruct their own valuer. We can act in this capacity too, producing a clear and defensible report for one side. Whatever the approach, it’s usually better for both parties to agree on the process first, to avoid unnecessary tension later on.
Our valuations are rooted in solid market evidence and fully compliant with RICS standards, giving reassurance that the figures can be relied upon in negotiations or court.
In and around Haslemere and Godalming, we provide matrimonial valuations across a wide mix of property types — from cottages in the Surrey Hills, to townhouses in Godalming, modern family homes in the suburbs, and larger country residences near Haslemere.
