Accurate CGT Valuations from a Trusted Chartered Surveyor

When you dispose of a property, through sale, gift or transfer, an accurate valuation at the right point in time is essential. Getting it wrong risks overpaying tax, underpaying and facing penalties, or unnecessary disputes with HMRC.

Skinner Holden provides RICS Red Book compliant CGT valuations for rural and semi-rural properties across West Sussex, Surrey and Hampshire, carried out by Iain Skinner FRICS — an RICS Registered Valuer with over 25 years of specialist rural property experience. Whether you need a retrospective valuation, a current market value ahead of disposal, or base costs established for a complex estate, we provide clear, defensible reports that stand up to scrutiny.

Our Capital Gains Tax Valuation Service

Skinner Holden delivers RICS Red Book compliant valuations tailored specifically for Capital Gains Tax reporting and HMRC submission.

What’s included:

  • Full inspection of the property
  • Assessment of condition, location, access rights and legal factors affecting value
  • Research and analysis of comparable market evidence
  • Valuation at the relevant date — whether historic acquisition, disposal, or gifting date
  • Consideration of any factors affecting value, including planning restrictions, covenants or rural designation
  • Detailed written report suitable for submission to HMRC or your accountant

Our approach ensures every valuation reflects true market value at the relevant date, reducing the risk of disputes, penalties or delays in your tax reporting.

We regularly support:

  • Private individuals disposing of land, rural properties or second homes
  • Accountants and tax advisers requiring a robust, RICS-compliant valuation report
