The parties should appoint the independent valuer at the earliest opportunity to avoid abortive costs or unnecessary valuations. After appointment the independent valuer will normally agree a timetable with the parties. He or she will invite both parties to submit any views on value or matters affecting value in writing for his or her consideration. These views will not necessarily include technical matters or the parties' own valuations. The purpose of using an independent expert is to allow smaller public bodies who lack professional advice to enter the process with confidence that the expert's expertise will cover any lack of professional resources.The valuer will present each side's written representations to the other to allow any relevant comment on those representations counter representations. After due consideration he or she will deliver his or her determination of value, with reasons, to both sides and that value will form the basis of transfer.
