UK-based solicitors, executors, and insolvency practitioners often face significant challenges when valuing overseas assets for legal proceedings.

Whether you are dealing with Probate, Matrimonial Finance (Divorce), or Bankruptcy proceedings, we provide the “boots on the ground” expertise needed to support UK legal work involving Tenerife property assets.

Our Specialist Valuation Services

1. Probate & Inheritance Tax (IHT)
We provide retrospective market valuations for probate and inheritance tax matters involving Tenerife property, usually at the date of death. The valuation date and report requirements are agreed with the instructing solicitor, including any specific HMRC requirements. Where an inheritance is being dealt with years later, we can research historical completed-sale records going back approximately 13 years, subject to availability. We select relevant transactions around the required valuation date to help establish the property’s market value at that time. Later sales are used only as context, allowing for changes in market conditions.

• Best for: Executors, Beneficiaries, and Probate Solicitors.

2. Matrimonial & Divorce Proceedings
In cases of financial disclosure or asset division, an impartial, professional valuation is essential. We act as independent experts to provide a clear, defensible market value for Tenerife-based holiday homes and residences.

• Best for: Family Law Solicitors and Mediators.

3. Bankruptcy & Possession Orders
We assist UK Trustees in Bankruptcy and liquidators with “Desktop” and “Drive-By” valuations for assets under possession orders. We provide a realistic Market Value assessment to assist in debt recovery strategies and court-mandated asset realization.

• Best for: Insolvency Practitioners and Debt Recovery Agencies.

4. “Desktop” vs. Full Internal Inspections

• Desktop/External Report: A fast-turnaround, cost-effective assessment based on external inspection, complex data, and recent comparable sales.
• Full Inspection Report: An internal inspection for valuation purposes, including photographs, a room-by-room condition assessment and a Nota Simple check for registered charges or restrictions.

Why UK Professionals Trust Our Reports

• Professional Alignment: Our reports can be aligned with relevant RICS ‘Red Book’ reporting principles where required. The purpose, scope and report requirements are agreed with the instructing professional before work begins.
• VV License Impact Analysis: We provide crucial local context on Vivienda Vacacional (VV) legislation in Tenerife, explaining how recent rental restrictions impact the “Fair Market Value” of an investment property.
• Bi-Lingual & Bi-Currency: Reports are provided in English, with values presented in Euros (€) and converted to GBP (£) based on relevant spot rates for the agreed valuation purpose.
• Evidence-Based: We use completed-sale transaction data originating from Spanish Land Registry records, alongside our own sales evidence and local knowledge. The comparable-sales analysis explains which transactions are relevant, how the properties differ and where the evidence is limited. Asking prices are kept separate from achieved selling prices.
