Frequently asked questions
How do I get a property valuation?
Simply fill in the above form and we鈥檒l be in touch about a market appraisal. We鈥檒l ask a few opening questions and then set up a time to meet you and view the property.
Market appraisal vs property valuation: what does it mean?
A market appraisal differs from a 鈥榬ed book鈥� property valuation. What we鈥檙e offering here is a market appraisal where we鈥檒l give you a guide price ahead of putting your property on the market so you have an idea of what it may sell for. A 鈥榬ed book鈥� valuation is prepared in accordance with the RICS valuation global standards, and can be used for tax, legal and financial purposes. For more information on these valuations, contact our UK Residential Valuations team.
What factors are considered when valuing a property?
- Property details (number of bedrooms and bathrooms, facilities, size and scope, décor, additional features, like a swimming pool, tennis court, etc)
- Location (where it is and what it is near to, local amenities, transport links)
- Property market at the time (what has sold in the area recently, what the market is generally doing at the time)
How much does a property valuation cost?
Our market appraisals are free. We鈥檒l provide an informal appraisal of your property to give you an idea of what your home could sell for. This is a guideline for a potential sale price based on certain criteria.
How accurate is a property valuation?
Our market appraisals are estimates to be used as a guide only. For a more formal 鈥榬ed book鈥� valuation, contact our UK Residential Valuations team.
How do I get my house ready for a property valuation?
When we view the property, we鈥檒l walk around your home, garden and any additional facilities included in the sale. We recommend a clear, fresh space, like what you would present to a potential buyer. A lack of clutter and busyness helps us get the best picture of your home.
How long does a property valuation take?
Viewing the property to make a market appraisal can take from 30 minutes to a few hours, depending on the size of the property and its facilities. During this visit, the agent will ask more specific questions about your home to get a better idea of what it could be worth.
What happens after a property valuation?
Once we鈥檝e visited your property, we鈥檒l follow up with our market recommendation report via email. This will include 鈥榗omparables鈥� 鈥� examples of similar properties that help us come to the best estimate of what your property may sell for. We鈥檒l also share our terms of business and any other costs related to marketing the property should you decide to sell it through us.
Do I need to commit to selling my property with an agent once they have done a valuation?
Not at all. A market appraisal is a commitment-free service performed by our agents to help you make informed decisions about your property.
Should I get a second opinion on the potential value of my property?
If you feel that our estimation is not aligned with your expectations, getting a second opinion may help ease any concerns. We鈥檙e also happy to provide a second opinion on a market appraisal you may have received elsewhere.
How long is a property valuation valid for?
As our market appraisals are informal, they don鈥檛 technically expire. However, they may become outdated as the market changes so it鈥檚 best to reassess regularly. This is different to a 鈥榬ed book鈥� valuation, which is provided on an agreed date. In this case, our valuers may provide an opinion on the outlook of the property market at the time of valuation to advise on possible short-term changes.
How can I find out more about the process?
Whether you鈥檙e looking to sell or buy a property, we鈥檝e put together a series of guides to take you through the processes involved and give you an overview of what to expect.
