Compulsory

As society exerts pressure on existing infrastructure, improvements and additions are inevitably required, which affects all property types. We have expertise to advise at all stages of a compulsory acquisition and to negotiate claims for any adverse impact on value, following the construction or use of public works, from utilities easements to large compulsory purchase acquisitions.

Valuation
Valuation is a core function that underpins both commercial property transactions and ownership. Vickery Holman have dedicated valuation surveyors in each office who value a diverse array of commercial properties. Recent successful involvements range from City Centre offices through to Holiday Parks and a small rural abattoir.
A large number are loan security requirements for banks. Vickery Holman is on the valuation panel for virtually every major and most secondary Lenders. In addition to “standard” valuations, we are commonly called upon to advise where a property is of a unique or specialist nature and our specialist services fore a detailed appraisal are required. Our target is to provide a quality detailed report, within an agreed timeframe, usually within ten days from instruction and receipt of relevant information.
Regular valuation work is also conducted for occupiers and owners directly. We understand the requirements of companies and their accounting procedures, and likewise those of charities and the special requirements of the Charities Act.
We have representatives in each office with experience in valuing businesses as going concerns and with the depth of knowledge to deal with capital gains and other tax issues. Whatever your valuation requirements, we have the expertise and up to date market knowledge from our active Agency department represented in each of our offices.
