RICS Property Valuations in Newcastle
Fife & Kimmitt Surveyors provide RICS property valuations in Newcastle and across the wider North East, including Jesmond, Heaton, Gosforth, Sandyford, Kingston Park and Great Park.
Each valuation is carried out by a qualified RICS Registered Valuer and provides a clear, evidence-based opinion of market value for legal, tax, financial and personal property decisions.
Estate agent appraisals and online valuation tools can give a rough guide, but they are not the same as a formal RICS valuation for matters such as selling, transferring ownership, resolving legal matters or redeeming schemes such as Help to Buy valuations.
Our Valuation Process
Our valuation process is straightforward.
First, we discuss the reason for the valuation so we can confirm the most suitable report for your circumstances. We then arrange a convenient inspection of the property. During the visit, the valuer considers the property’s size, layout, condition, location, accommodation and any features that may influence market value.
After the inspection, we review relevant comparable sales and local market evidence before preparing a clear written valuation report. The report will set out the valuation figure, the valuation date and the basis on which the opinion has been formed.

Local RICS Valuers Covering Newcastle
A reliable property valuation in Newcastle depends on more than floor area or postcode. Values can vary between neighbourhoods, streets and property types, especially where homes differ in age, condition, layout, parking, extensions or recent improvements.
As a family-run firm of Chartered Surveyors, Fife & Kimmitt regularly value residential properties across Newcastle and the wider North East. Our experience includes Tyneside flats, Victorian terraces, semi-detached homes, apartments, extended properties and newer developments.
By combining local market knowledge with relevant comparable sales and RICS valuation standards, we provide clear valuation reports that reflect the property itself and the market around it. For buyers who also need advice on condition, a RICS Level 2 Home Survey or Level 3 Building Survey may be more suitable alongside, or instead of, a valuation.

How much does it cost to get your property valued in Newcastle?
The cost of a property valuation in Newcastle depends on the type of valuation required, the property itself and the purpose of the report. A Help to Buy, probate, Capital Gains Tax, matrimonial or private valuation may each have different requirements. Once we understand your circumstances, we will confirm the most suitable valuation and provide a clear quote before any work begins.
What devalues a house the most?
Several factors can affect a property’s value, including poor condition, structural movement, damp, dated accommodation, short lease length, lack of parking, nearby issues, poor presentation or limited comparable sales evidence. A RICS valuation considers the property, its condition, location and market evidence before giving an opinion of value.
Is a property valuation the same as a house survey?
No. A property valuation provides an opinion of market value, while a house survey assesses the condition of the property. If you are buying a home, you may need a RICS Level 2 Home Survey or Level 3 Building Survey as well as, or instead of, a valuation.
What affects property values in Newcastle?
Property values in Newcastle can be influenced by location, condition, property type, size, layout, parking, extensions, local demand and recent comparable sales. Values may vary between neighbourhoods and even between nearby streets, which is why local market knowledge is important when preparing a formal valuation.
Can I get my property valued for free?
Estate agents and online valuation tools may offer free estimates, but these are usually informal guides rather than formal valuation reports. If you need a valuation for Help to Buy, probate, inheritance tax, Capital Gains Tax, matrimonial matters, finance or legal purposes, a RICS valuation from a qualified valuer is usually more appropriate.
