Specialist Valuation for the Social Housing Sector

We understand that Housing Associations, Local Authorities, and Registered Providers operate in a complex regulatory environment. At Rupert David & Co, we bridge the gap between intricate property legislation and practical, robust valuation advice.

Whether you are navigating the complexities of Section 106 agreements or require precise appraisals for supported housing, we provide the clarity and confidence you need to move forward with your projects. Our approach is rooted in deep technical knowledge and a commitment to the East Midlands region.

Led by Nick Bacon: Decades of Public and Private Sector Insight

Our firm is led by Nick Bacon BSc MRICS IRRV (Hons), a Chartered Valuation Surveyor and RICS Registered Valuer with a career spanning over three decades. Since graduating from Sheffield Hallam University in 1992, Nick has honed his expertise within the Valuation Office Agency and held senior roles across both the public and private sectors.

This dual perspective allows us to understand the unique pressures faced by public sector bodies. We don't just provide numbers; we provide context, strategy, and a wealth of experience in valuing diverse land and property assets.

Technical Expertise You Can Rely On

We specialise in the niche areas that many general practices overlook. Our team is frequently called upon for high-stakes negotiations and complex statutory valuations, including:

• Affordable Housing & Exception Sites: Expert land valuations tailored for social housing delivery.
• Section 106 & Shared Ownership: Precise appraisals for units and staircasing requirements.
• Compulsory Purchase & Compensation: Professional advice to navigate the complexities of CPO legislation.
• Specialist Assets: From supported housing valuations to the valuation of ransom elements.

A Collaborative Approach with Academic Rigour

We believe in the power of combined knowledge. To ensure our clients receive the most comprehensive advice, we draw upon the considerable skills of Bob Riley MRICS.

As a Senior Lecturer in Valuation, Property Management, and Development at Nottingham Trent University, Bob brings a level of academic rigour and consultancy expertise to our projects that is rare in the industry. This partnership ensures that our valuation methodologies are not only industry-standard but at the cutting edge of current property theory.

"Our mission is to provide Housing Associations and Local Authorities with the expert witness and negotiation support they need to manage their portfolios effectively and deliver essential housing services."
