What's the difference between an instant valuation and an expert valuation?
An instant valuation provides an estimated value based on available property and market data. An expert valuation is carried out by a local property specialist who takes into account your home's condition, features, location and current market demand to provide a more accurate assessment.

If you're thinking about selling your home, we recommend booking an expert valuation. A local property specialist will assess your property's features, condition and location to provide the most accurate valuation and tailored advice.

Do I need a valuation before selling my home?
While it's not a requirement, a professional valuation will help you understand your property's market value and make informed decisions when preparing your home for sale.
What is a property valuation?
A property valuation is an assessment of what a home may be worth in the current market. It takes into account a range of factors, including the property's location, size, condition and recent sales of similar homes in the area.
A valuation can help homeowners understand their property's current market position, whether they are considering selling, planning a future move or simply interested in the value of their home. While online valuations provide a useful estimate, an expert valuation offers a more detailed assessment based on the individual characteristics of the property and local market conditions.
What affects the value of a property?
Several factors can influence the value of a property, including:
Location and local market demand
Property size and layout
Condition and presentation
Recent sales of comparable properties
Home improvements or extensions
Current market conditions and buyer demand
Every property is unique, which is why valuation figures can vary. An online valuation uses available property and market data to provide an estimate, while an expert valuation takes a property's specific features and condition into account to deliver a more accurate assessment.
