Valuations each year
A Desktop Property Value Assessment is prepared without a site visit. A valuer reviews available property and market information to provide an indicative value. Its suitability depends on the intended use, property and report scope.
What it can — and can't — do
A desktop assessment uses available sales, property and market information without a site visit. It cannot directly verify the property's present condition or undocumented improvements. Whether it is suitable for a particular tax, audit, lending or legal purpose depends on the report scope and the recipient's requirements.
The indicative Desktop Value Assessment described here is not a promise that the separate Desktop Assessment offered in the 2027 checkout will be accepted for a particular purpose. Confirm the report you need with your adviser and valuer before ordering.
When a desktop assessment makes sense
- A quick, informal sense of where a property sits in the current market
- A preliminary check before deciding whether a Full Market Valuation is warranted
- General planning purposes where formal evidentiary standing isn't required
Important: This is general information, not tax or legal advice. Your adviser and the report recipient should confirm the appropriate valuation date, product scope and evidence requirements. Check any proposed 2027 CGT changes against current official guidance before relying on them.

Frequently asked questions
It depends on the report scope and the evidence required for your circumstances. An indicative Desktop Value Assessment is not the same as every type of desktop assessment product. Check with your tax adviser and valuer before ordering.
