Carter Jonas has a long history of helping charities make the best use of their property. Section 36 of the Charities Act 1993 places an obligation on the trustees of a charity to ‘obtain and consider a written report from a chartered surveyor’ when they want to dispose of land or property.
Such a report is known as a Section 119 Report and differs from valuations for loan, security or other purposes. It requires the surveyor to stand back, maintaining independence and objectivity, so as to be able to advise the charity on whether it is in their best interest to alter the property or make adaptions before sale, or whether the land or buildings be divided up, to achieve optimum value. We are very experienced in providing valuations in accordance with the provisions of the Act and working with a charity’s legal advisers to provide the support and advice needed in seeking charity commissioners’ approval, where required.
Carter Jonas has a number of specialists in this increasingly demanding sphere of valuation and viability work supported by the firm’s extensive dedicated planning, development and strategic land, professional and agency teams, who operate on a national basis.

The extension of the lease of a flat or the acquisition of the freehold of a house or block of flats requires a highly specialised assessment of the property value and an in-depth knowledge of leasehold legislation. Carter Jonas is an award winning recognised market leader in this discipline with respected dedicated teams.
