independent valuer
Ealing's Victoria Hall Trust is using an independent building survey to determine property extent for lease negotiations, informing the independent valuer's role.
In December 2025, Ealing's Victoria Hall Trust Committee received an independent building survey, a key step for the independent valuer to ensure the Trust receives best consideration. The survey confirmed the extent of Trust property within Ealing Town Hall, which is crucial for calculating the Trust's share of lease premium and rental income under the Mastcraft hotel deal.
The Charity Commission Scheme mandates that the Trust's share of the total premium be calculated based on the proportion of floor area of Trust property. The need for this independent building survey arose to verify the extent of Trust property, enabling the independent valuer to fulfil their role. Following the survey, the Trust Committee authorised lease negotiations.
