So, what does a valuation surveyor do on a property valuation? A valuation surveyor will need to have a critical eye when viewing a property. You will need to inspect every room in the house as well as any yard, considering factors like the amount of rooms and any existing fixtures and fittings. You could be required to physically gauge the rooms, in addition to take note of the age of the property, the quality of vehicular access and parking.

Considerations must also be given to the exterior space including topography, location and how big is the plot. Additionally, you will need to consider any chance of future development. Lots of the same factors will again must be evaluated when valuing commercial property.
