Appraisal

Valuation that accounts for authorship, not just floor area.

A house by a named architect in original condition is not the same asset as the identical footprint next door, and conventional valuation has no way to say so.

We publish our criteria. You can read exactly what we weight and by how much before you instruct us.

How it works

In
practice

Three commitments. They are the same on every instruction, and we put them in writing.

Three commitments. They are the same on every instruction, and we put them in writing.

01

Authorship weighting

Named architect, original condition, and documented provenance are scored separately.

02

Alteration penalty

Unsympathetic alteration is priced as a cost to reverse, not a matter of taste.

03

Published method

Our criteria document is public and versioned. Nothing is discretionary.
