Whether you’re just exploring your options, with no immediate plans to move, or you’re already under offer on your next home and need a quick valuation, we’re here to help. In this blog, we’ll guide you through how we value properties as part of our lettings and estate agency services, ensuring you’re equipped with the information you need to make confident decisions.
We offer three levels of property valuation, designed to suit your needs at every stage of the process.
1. INSTANT ONLINE VALUATION
Our first option is the Instant Online Valuation – a self-service tool that provides a broad estimate in under 60 seconds. It’s fast, easy, and non-intrusive. Simply pop in your address, contact details, and number of bedrooms, and our system will instantly assess recent property sales and lettings data to give you a valuation range.
While it’s perfect for those seeking a quick and easy estimate, it doesn’t factor in unique aspects of your home, like its specific features, aspect and condition.
2. DESKTOP VALUATION
Next up is the Desktop Valuation, which adds a layer of accuracy. With this option, we fine-tune the estimate based on the unique qualities of your property. After a quick chat on the phone or a review of photos you send over, we draw on our experience and extensive property data to provide a more detailed valuation.
This option is great for those doing their research, giving you a more precise estimate without the need for an in-person visit. It’s ideal for properties with standard features, though it can be trickier for more unique homes. We’ll also include a detailed fee quote, so you know exactly what to expect.
3. FACE-TO-FACE VALUATION
Finally, our Face-to-Face Valuation offers the most accurate and personalised service. One of our team will visit your home to carry out a thorough inspection, getting to know your property inside and out. We’ll come equipped with local market comparables, talk you through the selling or letting process, and answer any questions you may have.
Following the visit, we’ll feed back to you on our recommendations and will lay out the next steps so you have everything you need to make a decision.
We want you to feel informed and empowered to make your next move. Hopefully, this guide has explained the different valuation options we offer and how we work to give you the most accurate insight into your property’s value.
