Reinstatement Cost Assessments for RICS Compliance in Brighton & Hove
Insurance cover for property is only effective if the reinstatement value is accurate. Too often, buildings in Brighton & Hove are either underinsured or overinsured, leaving owners financially exposed. At GCC Sussex, we specialise in RICS-compliant Reinstatement Cost Assessments (RCAs) that ensure your property is properly protected. Our assessments give insurers the correct rebuild figure, helping you avoid the risks of inadequate cover and unnecessary premium costs.
With over 20 years of experience in the surveying industry, we provide detailed and reliable reinstatement valuations for residential, commercial, and mixed-use properties across Brighton & Hove. By following RICS professional standards, our reports are recognised and trusted by insurers, mortgage lenders, and property owners alike.
The Importance of an Accurate Reinstatement Cost Assessment
An RCA is not the same as a market valuation. Instead, it calculates the cost of rebuilding your property in the event of total loss, taking into account demolition, materials, labour, fees, and compliance with modern building regulations. Many owners mistakenly rely on outdated figures or rough estimates, which can have costly consequences when making a claim.
At GCC Sussex, we prepare reinstatement assessments that reflect current construction costs, local conditions, and the unique characteristics of your property. By providing an accurate rebuild figure, we help you secure the right level of insurance cover, so you’re protected should the unexpected happen.
RICS Compliance You Can Trust in Brighton & Hove
As a RICS-regulated practice, all our reinstatement assessments follow the strict professional standards set by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. This means our reports are not only accurate but also fully compliant with the requirements of insurers and lenders.
Our surveyors carry out a thorough inspection of the property, taking into account its size, construction type, listed status, and any special features that could affect rebuilding costs. We then apply up-to-date cost data and professional judgement to produce a report you can rely on. This gives you, and your insurer, complete confidence in the figures provided.
