Disappointing Valuation Experience

We engaged a service to value two of our HMO properties, and the valuations were completely disconnected from reality, local authority guidance, and actual market conditions. Property 1 – 6-bedroom all-en-suite HMO
The valuer refused to acknowledge it as a 6-bedroom property, arguing that the communal lounge was too small according to their internal standards.
We provided: • Exact measurements of rooms and communal areas • A valid 6-bedroom HMO licence from the local authority Some tenants utilize in-room living space due to the size of the rooms, which are fully compliant with council guidance. Despite this, they disregarded the licence and facts, valuing it as a 5-bedroom. There was no substantial discussion or flexibility—just a rigid and incorrect downgrade. Property 2 – 9-bed all en-suite HMO (Bristol)
This valuation was even more disappointing. • High-quality refurbishment • Solar panels • EPC A rating • 6 parking spaces • 9 minutes from the airport • Fully let within 2.5 weeks • Achieving £850 per room Even a conservative valuation should have been over £600k.
A realistic market value is closer to £900k. Instead, they valued it at around £530k, claiming the area is “not popular for HMOs,” which is clearly untrue based on demand and rental performance. Impact: • Nearly £4,500–£5,000 in valuation fees • Forced to change lenders • Delays and financial disruption • All of this could have been avoided with proper HMO valuation methods. Conclusion:
If you need to value an HMO, I recommend avoiding this service. They: • Disregard valid HMO licences • Apply inconsistent internal policies • Undervalue specialized assets • Fail to represent actual rental demand or market performance. While I can't speak to buy-to-lets or standard residential properties, this experience for HMOs was extremely costly.

Amazing experience with the representative

The availability was swift, and the inspection was scheduled within just a few days. I had a Level 2 Home Buyer Survey with valuation done, and the fee was competitive compared to other firms. The report was comprehensive and delivered on time, with no delays. It helped me grasp potential repair costs and decide whether to move forward with the property purchase. The representative was highly knowledgeable in their field, took the time to address my concerns, answered all my questions, and was professional in their risk assessment. After my phone discussion, I decided to proceed with the purchase. I would gladly recommend this representative, especially for first-time buyers.
