Valuations combine the whole range
of expertise offered by Bowlts. Obviously, the value of any individual
property reflects the market at any particular moment, but it also
depends on a wide range of physical and environmental factors. However,
different values must be applied to reflect the myriad of reasons
for which valuations are required - whether sale or purchase, death
or divorce - and it is in the art of bringing together all these
factors that our comprehensive knowledge and local experience can
prove invaluable.
We are able to offer you:
• A speedy, efficient and
confidential response.
• Detailed local market knowledge
and experience.
• An accurate estimate of
a property's worth for any given purpose.
• Professional and detailed
reports.
• Advice on problems and/or
development opportunities.
• Ongoing support for sales
and purchases.
• Answers to all your survey
questions. |

Rural Valuations...
We are experts in valuing properties of all kinds and sizes - but
we have particular experience in valuing rural properties throughout
the north of Scotland. It is important to recognise that all rural
properties are very different in terms of environment, attributes,
physical condition and constraints/burdens. Our local knowledge
can help to ensure that all these factors, negative or positive,
are carefully considered. Properties we have valued for our many
and varied clients include the following:
• farms and
estates
• houses and cottages
• woodlands
• fishings
• deer forests |
• pubs and hotels
• land and buildings
(for development/redevelopment)
• specialist properties
• damaged properties
• commercial land and buildings |
Reasons for Valuation...
It is a misconception that every property has a single value. This
is not so. The value of a property can be affected by a wide range
of factors and by the 'reason' for the valuation itself. Possible
reasons include:
• purchase/sale
• secured lending/mortgage
• accounting/financial statements
• insurance/rebuilding cost
• development/redevelopment
• stock take
|
• tax planning/estate
planning
• property rental
• investment in plant and
machinery
• divorce/family rearrangements
• probate
|
Basis for Valuation...
Initial discussions on the background to the valuation help our
clients to appreciate that there can be more than one basis for
the valuation. For example, where land has potential development
value, it may be necessary to compare its existing value with its
value given any alternative uses. The most common bases for valuations
are:
•
market value
• open market value
• existing use value
|
•
estimated realisation price
• depreciated replacement
cost
• open market rental value |
