Tax and CGT Valuations
Tax and Capital Gains Tax Valuations provide accurate and compliant assessments of property value for HMRC submissions, tax planning and financial reporting.
About Tax and CGT Valuations
Tax and Capital Gains Tax Valuations are required when property values must be formally declared to HMRC for tax calculations, inheritance planning, gifting, disposals or financial reporting. These valuations must be undertaken by an RICS Registered Valuer to ensure they meet the standards required for tax compliance.
A Capital Gains Tax valuation typically establishes the property’s market value at a specific point in time, such as the date of acquisition, disposal or gifting. This figure is used to calculate any taxable gain. An inaccurate valuation can lead to incorrect tax liabilities, potential penalties or disputes with HMRC. A professionally prepared report provides clarity, accuracy and reliable supporting evidence.
Edwards Genesis prepares Tax and CGT Valuations for private individuals, solicitors, accountants and trustees. Our valuations follow RICS Red Book standards and are supported by detailed comparable evidence and clear justification, ensuring they can withstand HMRC scrutiny if required.


6 Reasons Why Tax and CGT Valuations Are Important
Understanding the importance of a compliant tax valuation helps ensure financial and legal matters proceed smoothly. These valuations support accurate submissions and protect clients from risk.

– Required for HMRC compliance and financial reporting
– Provides market value at a specific historic or current date
– Helps prevent disputes, penalties or incorrect tax liabilities
– Compliant with RICS Red Book standards

Report was thorough and went above and beyond. Cannot recommend enough!Posted on Sean HarrisonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a mid-level survey done for a house we are purchasing. The survey was very detailed but in a layout which was easy to follow and understand. They were always easy to contact and happy to respond to any queries. Would definitely recommendPosted on Nigel StreetTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can highly recommend John Brownlow at Edward Genesis. I’ve had a number of surveys over the years conducted by large corporate companies and I’ve found to my cost that they often fall short. Edward Genesis on the other hand are exceptionally thorough and the report compiled by John was detailed accurate and exceptionally well written. It also contained clear pictures to highlight any issues of concern. Overall excellent service and I would definitely use them in the future.Posted on CASA DE LOS CUATRO VIENTOSTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a Level 3 survey carried out by Mr Brownlow from Edwards Genesis as well as a valuation. From beginning to end, we received nothing but exceptional service. Mr Brownlow was professional and kept us updated about when he would be conducting the survey, once it was completed and the expected wait for the report. The Level 3 report itself is of exceptional quality. It contains a lot of detail about the surrounding area and about the property we are wanting to purchase. This survey has saved us a lot of money because although the house looks immaculate and well presented, it is potentially a lemon and super overpriced. I am most grateful for Edwards Genesis’ help and support during this process.Posted on Jack O'SullivanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend these guys. Professional & honest, start to finish.Posted on Herve MugandaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

When first getting in contact to get a quote, now to getting the survey results and ringing to ask for advice John has always been really helpful and happy to answer any queries.
