What is a Matrimonial Valuation?

What is a Matrimonial Valuation?

When a marriage or civil partnership ends, the family home is often the single largest asset to be divided  and the one most likely to cause disagreement. A matrimonial valuation is a formal RICS Red Book valuation, prepared by a Chartered Surveyor, that establishes an accurate, independent figure for the property so it can be divided fairly. Courts, solicitors and mediators rely on these reports because they follow RICS Valuation – Global Standards rather than an estate agent's informal opinion of price. 

Mylako's RICS registered valuers regularly act as Single Joint Expert for separating couples across Raynes Park and West Wimbledon, working directly with family law solicitors and, where needed, as expert witnesses.

Comprehensive Property Valuation Services in Raynes Park & West Wimbledon

SW20 is best known as West Wimbledon, and covers Raynes Park, Cottenham Park, Cannon Hill and Lower Morden areas that, despite sharing a postcode, differ meaningfully in property type and value. Raynes Park's Victorian and Edwardian terraces sit alongside larger detached houses toward Wimbledon, many with generous gardens and off-street parking, while Lower Morden is characterised by 1930s mock-Tudor semis built out from Morden Park. Green space also shapes the picture: homes backing onto Cannon Hill Common's 21 hectares of common land, or close to Cottenham Park's sports grounds, typically carry different comparables than those nearer Raynes Park station and its direct line into Waterloo. Our valuers price these distinctions into every report, so the figure reflects the property's actual pocket of SW20 , not an average across the whole postcode.

Matrimonial Valuations FAQ's

A matrimonial valuation is a formal RICS Red Book valuation prepared by a Chartered Surveyor for use in divorce or dissolution proceedings. Unlike an estate agent's market appraisal, it follows the RICS Valuation – Global Standards, is prepared independently of either party's interests, and is written to withstand scrutiny from solicitors, mediators and the court if the case proceeds that far.

A Single Joint Expert is a RICS Registered Valuer instructed jointly by both parties, or their solicitors, to provide one agreed valuation rather than two competing figures. Courts in financial remedy proceedings generally expect an SJE wherever possible, as it controls cost and avoids conflicting evidence.

Cost is typically shared equally between both parties when a Single Joint Expert is instructed, though this can be varied by agreement between solicitors, or by court direction.

We aim to arrange the property inspection promptly and issue the written report within five to ten working days of the visit, depending on the property's complexity and how readily comparable sales evidence is available in the immediate area.

Either party can raise written questions for the surveyor to clarify under the Family Procedure Rules. Only where genuine disagreement remains — and with the court's permission — would a second expert typically be instructed.

Property values move, so reports are generally treated as current for three to six months. Where a case runs longer, or the local market shifts materially, we can update the figure rather than starting again from scratch.

Yes. A retrospective (or historic) valuation uses archived Land Registry and comparable sales data to establish what a property was worth at a specific past date — often needed where separation happened some time before proceedings started.

Yes — our matrimonial valuations cover the full range of property types found across Raynes Park and West Wimbledon, from Victorian and Edwardian terraces near Raynes Park station to 1930s mock-Tudor semis in Lower Morden and larger detached houses backing onto Cannon Hill Common, so the figure reflects the specific property rather than a postcode-wide average.
