The airspace above a building – and unused loft or roof space – can hold significant untapped value, particularly on blocks of flats and commercial premises in London and the South East. Our RICS Registered Valuers assess the development value of airspace and loft spaces for freeholders, leaseholders and developers.
Why value airspace?
Permitted development rights and a strong demand for new homes have made rooftop development increasingly viable. A valuation helps freeholders understand what their airspace is worth, informs negotiations with developers, and supports leaseholders considering the acquisition of roof space as part of a lease extension or enfranchisement.
What we consider
- Development potential and likely planning position
- Uplift in value created by additional units or storeys
- Impact on existing leaseholders and the freehold interest
- Red Book valuation for sale, negotiation or accounting purposes
