When a marriage or civil partnership ends, the family home and any other property are often the largest assets on the table and the ones most likely to cause disagreement. Family courts and solicitors require a reliable, independent figure before a financial settlement can be agreed, whether through negotiation, mediation, or a court order.
At Mylako, we provide RICS Red Book valuations prepared to the standard required for matrimonial proceedings. Our reports are suitable for use as Single Joint Expert (SJE) evidence, meaning both parties instruct one valuer jointly and agree in advance to accept the figure produced — removing the cost, delay, and conflict of each side commissioning their own valuation. Where a single joint instruction isn't appropriate, we also provide independent valuations for one party's solicitor.
Every valuation is carried out by a RICS-regulated Chartered Surveyor, follows the RICS Valuation – Global Standards (the "Red Book"), and is presented in a clear, court-ready report covering current market value, the basis of valuation, and the evidence behind our conclusion. Because the figure is independently arrived at and RICS-regulated, it carries the credibility solicitors, mediators, and the courts expect helping both parties move toward a fair settlement without the valuation itself becoming another point of dispute.
