Property is more than just a building, it’s a core part of your business. Whether you run a hotel, manage a school estate, or operate a leisure facility, knowing the true value of your asset can make a big difference.
But valuations aren’t just for ticking a box. Done well, they support better decisions, stronger finances, and long-term planning.
Why Are Valuations Important?
Better Financial Decisions – Whether you’re applying for funding, planning an expansion, or thinking about selling, a current valuation gives you the confidence to act. It shows lenders, boards, or investors that you understand your position.
Support for Planning & Strategy – Thinking about refurbishing or expanding? A valuation helps you understand whether it’s the right move — and what the return could look like.
Stronger Governance & Reporting – For schools and charities, having clear and accurate valuations is essential for trustees, governors, and funding bodies. It shows that assets are being managed responsibly.
Responding to Market Changes – From rising costs to changing demand, your property’s value can shift quickly. A recent valuation keeps your strategy aligned with the real world.
What this means for Hotels
- Understand how your trading performance impacts value
- Support refinancing or investment decisions
- Plan refurbishment or expansion with confidence
What this means for Schools & Education
- Use in trust expansion, academy conversion or CIF funding bids
- Support estate planning and risk management
- Improve transparency with governors and stakeholders
What Makes a Good Valuation?
A good valuation does more than just reflect the numbers – it tells the story behind the asset and its future potential. Whether it’s a city-centre hotel, a boutique holiday let, or an independent or group-owned school, we take a tailored approach.
Our valuations combine strong sector knowledge, local market insight, and thorough financial analysis to provide a clear view of both opportunities and risks.
This helps our clients make well-informed, confident decisions – whether they’re buying, selling, refinancing or planning for the future.
