Valuations in the UK Living Markets call for numbers you can act on.
We are directly involved in the deals shaping today's market and understand them in real time: as active agents, our valuations are current, credible and commercially focused. Medbourne's RICS-registered valuers work to RICS Red Book Global Standards across the residential living sectors, so a valuation holds up whether it supports an acquisition, secures debt or satisfies financial reporting and tax.
Valuation
Acquisition & purchase reports
Pre-acquisition RICS Red Book valuations supporting bid pricing and final-decision diligence. Used by principals (funds, family offices, REITs) and by JV partners on the equity side. Reports include market evidence, comparable transactions, sensitivity ranges and headline yield and value conclusions for IC papers.
Debt & loan security valuations
Lender-side Red Book valuations supporting senior debt facilities, mezzanine and refinancing across Living Markets asset classes. We work for UK and international banks, debt funds and credit teams, including portfolio-level valuations for large BTR, PBSA, Co-Living, SFH and PRS portfolios.
Financial reporting valuations
Quarterly, half-yearly or annual Red Book valuations supporting IFRS or FRS 102 fair value reporting. Suitable for fund managers, REITs and corporate clients with Living Markets exposure. Output is auditor-ready, aligned with the basis your auditor works to.
Tax valuations
Red Book valuations supporting UK tax events including SDLT, capital gains, inheritance tax and corporate restructuring. We work alongside tax counsel and accountants; valuation conclusions are defensible against HMRC challenge under the Red Book methodology.
Informal valuations & pricing advice
Valuation advice for internal purposes: pricing opinions, desktop assessments and board-level guidance, where a formal report is not required. Fast, commercially grounded and drawn from live market evidence.

Frequently asked questions
Is Medbourne RICS-registered for Red Book valuation?
Yes. Medbourne's valuation services are undertaken by RICS Registered Valuers in accordance with the RICS Valuation – Global Standards (Red Book Global Standards). Our engagement letter confirms the scope of instruction, assumptions, limitations and professional indemnity arrangements.
What asset types do you value?
All UK Living Markets asset types: PRS, Build to Rent (BTR), PBSA, Co-Living, Single Family Housing, Prime London residential and Land & Development sites, for acquisition, lending, financial reporting and tax purposes.
How quickly can you turn around a Red Book valuation?
Timelines scale with scope: a standard single-asset valuation turns around in 5-10 working days, while complex portfolios and large schemes take longer. The committed timeline is confirmed in the engagement letter before work begins.
What is the difference between a Red Book valuation and a desktop assessment?
A Red Book valuation complies with RICS Global Valuation Standards: full methodology, inspection where required, market evidence and a defensible basis suitable for lending, audit or transaction use. A desktop assessment is prepared without inspection and is generally indicative, intended to inform a view rather than to be relied on by a third party.
Can you provide a valuation for internal purposes rather than a formal Red Book report?
Yes. Where the valuation is for internal decision-making, we can provide pricing advice or a desktop assessment. Where the purpose requires a formal, reliable basis, such as secured lending, financial reporting or tax, our RICS-registered valuers produce a full Red Book valuation.
Can you value across UK borders for international clients?
We undertake valuations across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. We regularly advise UK and international investors, lenders and family offices, delivering reports in accordance with the RICS Red Book and liaising with overseas advisers where additional local reporting requirements apply.
How does valuation fee structure work?
Fees are agreed in writing in the engagement letter before work begins and scale with asset complexity and portfolio size. For large portfolios or recurring reporting cycles, framework agreements are available.
What valuation bases do you provide?
We provide valuations on all recognised RICS bases including Market Value, Market Rent, Fair Value, Investment Value, Existing Use Value and Residual Land Value, depending on the purpose of the instruction. We undertake valuations of development land and projects at all stages of delivery, including consented land, sites under construction and completed assets.
