House Valuation

Hi

Hoping someone can help point me in the right direction, I am looking for an independent RICS surveyor to complete a house valuation to enable me to repay my homebuy direct loan.

The valuation needs to conform to the following rules:
 The valuer must be registered with the recognised qualification of RICS.
 The valuer must be independent to an estate agent.
 The report must be on headed paper and signed by the RICS surveyor
 The valuer MUST provide at least 3 comparable properties and sale prices. Failure to do
so will result in the valuation being rejected.
 The valuer must not be related or known to you.
 The valuer must inspect the interior of the property and provide a full valuation report.
 Valuations carried out for bank or mortgage purposes are not acceptable
 Housing Options Plus (HOP) will require a copy of the valuation report; the inspection date must be shown on the report.

Can anyone advise someone that covers the Leeds area, I am also looking for a solicitor to oversee the transaction

Thanks in advance
