When an estimate isn't enough

There are times when an informal estimate of a property's value simply will not do. A professional residential valuation provides an objective assessment of the property's current market value in its existing condition.

DPG carries out valuations in accordance with RICS Red Book standards, giving you a clear and credible report for the purpose you require.

Tell us why you need the valuation at the outset and we will make sure the instruction is approached for the correct purpose.


Previously known as the Homebuyer Report, the Level 2 Survey is best suited to conventional properties built using standard materials and construction methods that appear to be in reasonable condition.

The aim is simple: to give you a clearer understanding of what you're buying and highlight issues you should be aware of before moving forward.

Why it helps

A professional figure for the decision in front of you.

A formal valuation gives you an independent opinion of market value prepared in accordance with recognised RICS professional standards.

It can be used for purposes including probate, Help to Buy repayment, shared ownership and staircasing.

The result is a clear valuation report that gives you — and the other parties involved — a professional figure to work from.

What is a RICS Red Book valuation?

It is a formal professional valuation carried out in accordance with RICS valuation standards, providing an opinion of the property's market value for a stated purpose.

What can a residential valuation be used for?

DPG provides valuations for purposes including probate, Help to Buy, shared ownership, staircasing and establishing current market value.

How long does the inspection take?

A typical residential valuation inspection takes around 45–60 minutes.

How quickly will I receive the valuation report?

The typical turnaround is around 2–3 working days following the inspection.

Why do you need to know what the valuation is for?

The purpose affects how the instruction is approached and what the report needs to address, so it is important to tell us at the outset.

Is this the same as an estate agent valuation?

No. This is a formal RICS Red Book valuation prepared by a professional surveyor rather than an informal marketing estimate.
