Furze Platt Road, Maidenhead, Berkshire, SL6
The Instruction
Stokemont’s RICS Registered Valuers were instructed to assist and advise a client in establishing the historic Market Value of an exceptional country home and estate on Furze Platt Road, Maidenhead.
Given the scale, specification and extensive facilities associated with the property, the valuation required careful consideration of the available market evidence and the characteristics that distinguished the property from more conventional residential stock.
The Property
The property comprised a substantial country residence extending to over 15,000 square feet, set within extensive private grounds.
The accommodation included six bedrooms with en-suite facilities, together with a dedicated leisure centre and a range of additional accommodation and amenities befitting a property of this scale.
The combination of its substantial floor area, extensive grounds and leisure facilities placed the property within a particularly limited segment of the local residential market.
Key Valuation Considerations
The valuation required consideration of several factors, including:
- The exceptional scale and specification of the residence.
- The extent and quality of the accommodation and leisure facilities.
- The size and character of the surrounding grounds.
- The property’s location and appeal within the Maidenhead market.
- The availability and relevance of comparable market evidence.
- The extent to which the property’s unique characteristics influenced its Market Value.
Our Advice
Our RICS Registered Valuers applied professional judgement alongside available market evidence to arrive at an opinion of Market Value appropriate to the historic valuation date.
Particular care was required in assessing comparable evidence, given the limited number of properties offering a directly comparable combination of scale, accommodation, grounds and facilities.
The Outcome
The valuation provided the client with an independent, professionally considered opinion of the historic Market Value of an exceptional residential property.
The instruction demonstrated the importance of experienced RICS valuation advice where a property falls outside the characteristics of the mainstream residential market and conventional comparable evidence is limited.
Stokemont provides RICS valuation advice across residential and other property sectors, including complex and high-value properties where professional judgement and careful analysis of market evidence are particularly important.
