    It sounds like you just need a valuation (not a HIP). Literally this means a Surveyor inspects and reports their opinion of market value. Costs will vary from firm to firm and different parts of the UK. Perhaps somewhere in the region of £250-£400 excluding vat.

    Use this to find a RICS accredited Surveyor in your area:

    The RICS website already linked to is helpful if you take the time to read around it; costs will vary from area to area so you will need to contact a surveyor directly to get a quotation.

  • your HA should recommend a surveyor, have you asked them? i'm going thru the same procedure at the moment and mine offered a choice of 2 surveyors. the one i opted for charged 1% of the value of the property + VAT (only the share i own tho, not the full value), so came to approx £150.
