What is a Matrimonial Valuation?

Matrimonial or divorce settlement valuations involve determining the value of a couple’s assets during separation. These valuations provide essential support to courts or the parties involved, helping ensure a fair division of marital assets, including property. Given that disputes frequently arise regarding asset values, the expertise of Mylako Chartered Surveyors is often required.

As RICS Registered Valuers, we provide professional assessments of property values—including residential and commercial assets—and produce detailed reports that are accepted in court. Our valuations remain fully independent and objective, taking into account market conditions, property type, size, location, condition, and any other factors that affect value.

Accurate valuations are critical in ensuring equitable distribution during divorce or separation proceedings. Family Law Solicitors across London frequently instruct Mylako Chartered Surveyors as Single Joint Experts to deliver impartial matrimonial valuations.

Comprehensive Property Valuation Services in Wimbledon

Wimbledon spans a wide range of property types, from Georgian cottages and Victorian villas around Wimbledon Village to the Arts and Crafts and Edwardian family homes of Merton Park, and the more modest terraces and inter-war houses around Wimbledon Chase. A Single Joint Expert has to be equally confident valuing a five-bedroom detached house near Wimbledon Common as a two-bedroom conversion flat close to Wimbledon Chase station. Our surveyors draw on recent comparable sales across each of these pockets, and factor in the premium attached to proximity to Wimbledon Common, Cannizaro Park, and the District line and mainline services from Wimbledon station, differences a generic desktop estimate will miss.

Matrimonial Valuations Wimbled 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 in SW19, from period conversions and purpose-built flats in Wimbledon Village and Merton Park to family houses near Wimbledon Common and Wimbledon Park, so the figure reflects the specific property rather than a Wimbledon-wide average.
