Collateral Valuation

Edward Symmons has been providing the lending institutions with Collateral Valuations in respect of Inventory, Plant & Machinery and Property for 60 years.

With the growth of Asset Based Lending the role of the valuer has become more relevant as lenders look to maximise the funding they can generate against a company's assets, and respond to changes in the industry sector, economy and above all asset values throughout the life of a facility.

At Edward Symmons we can provide both “pre lend“ Collateral Valuations for the secured lender, in all asset classes, as well as “on-going“ Collateral Valuations ensuring that any changes in asset values can be reflected in the structure of the facility.

A Collateral Valuation of Inventory will provide the lender with a comprehensive and detailed valuation, culminating in a Gross and Net Orderly Liquidation Value whilst highlighting those reserves and provisions that a lender would need to consider when structuring their facility. Extensive fieldwork is conducted and current and historical accounting information is analysed by a team of experienced Inventory valuers and industry experts.

Within our MBA division, throughout our nine regional offices, we have upwards of 30 valuers who can provide qualified valuation and sales advice on all classes of industrial and commercial business assets embracing most categories of industrial facilities. Our long experience of asset sales, in both national and regional markets, provides us with a well–informed insight into asset values, both for lending and insolvency purposes.

Edward Symmons is a market leader in providing Property valuation advice to a wide spectrum of clients including over 100 UK and overseas banks and financial institutions. The team totals 65 surveyors undertaking valuations and providing commercial real estate finance advice on a wide spectrum of property types.

Your Collateral Valuation requirements can be met at Edward Symmons provided through a single source both in the UK and Europe, irrespective of the asset class and location.
