Questions to Ask Your Tradie

• Do you provide a written valuation, and is it accepted by banks or HMRC?

• Are you registered with RICS or another professional body?

• What local data and comparable sales will inform your valuation?
  

How to Avoid Surprises

• Clarify whether the valuation is for marketing, legal, insurance, or mortgage purposes

• Ask for a sample report if you need a specific format (e.g., RICS Red Book valuation)
