Independent property valuers · London

Anyone can name a value. We sign the reasoning.

Valuations of homes, land, developments and portfolios, prepared to recognised standards, signed by a named valuer and verifiable by code.

Mihenk is Turkish for touchstone: the dark stone once used to test the purity of gold.

§1Valuation types

Every report is written for a purpose. We agree which one first.

A lender and an estate ask different questions of the same flat. Agreeing type and purpose first keeps the report from being sent back.

§3Method

Three approaches, one reasoned opinion.

The International Valuation Standards describe three approaches. We apply one or more, depending on the property and the evidence, and reconcile the results in writing.

§5Process

Six stages from instruction to signature.

Timing depends on the property and on how complete the documents are. The expected delivery date is written into the terms of engagement.

01

Instruction and review

Documents are read; purpose and basis of value are agreed.

02

Terms of engagement

Scope, delivery date and fee are confirmed in writing.

03

Inspection

The valuer visits, measures and photographs the property.

04

Searches

Title, planning and local records are checked.

05

Analysis and reconciliation

Approaches are applied and the results reasoned.

06

Signature and delivery

The valuer signs; the report is issued with its verification code.

§6Report verification

Did this report really come from us?

Type the reference from page one or scan the QR code. The page confirms only origin, date and signing valuer; content and personal data never appear here.

§8Questions

What clients ask before they instruct.

How long does a valuation report take?

It depends on the property, the documents and how quickly searches return. The expected date goes into the terms of engagement once we have seen the papers.

Is a lending valuation the same as other reports?

No. A lending report follows the lender’s instruction and format; probate or sale reports answer different questions, so the form asks where the report will be used.

Can you tell me the value in advance?

No. A value is formed after inspection and analysis, and we decline instructions that come with a target figure.

Which documents should I prepare?

The wizard checklist shows what your type and purpose need. If something is missing, we help obtain it.

How do third parties verify a report?

The reference or QR code on page one opens the verification page on this site, which shows the origin, the date and the signing valuer only.
