Scottish valuations

Every sale in Scotland is required to have a Home Report completed, and as long as this has been completed by a valuer on our panel, we can obtain a transcription from this for valuation purposes. All valuations and transcripts are valid for 90 days from the date they are issued. Any report must be no more than 90 days old at the time of offer.

We have a large number of panel valuers in Scotland; however, please check with your dedicated Business Development Manager or Adviser before submitting an application.

Homebuyer reports already carried out

Unfortunately, we cannot accept Homebuyer or building surveys that have already been carried out on properties in England, Wales or Northern Ireland. All cases must have a valuation carried out by our approved panel of valuers.

Security of tenure

Properties with a large acreage of land attached must be valued on a ’house + immediate garden only’ basis (usually up to two acres of land and assuming commensurate with property type).

Accord’s security will be the property and whole acreage of land.

Planning permission

Properties with the benefit of land with planning permission for a separate dwelling will be valued based on what the property would be worth without the planning permission, i.e. the land as garden area only.
