Completed an instant sales/letting valuation? Find out why you need an in-person valuation NOW…
If you’ve utilised our instant valuation tool on your home, you absolutely need to take the next step to get an accurate, in-person valuation, even if you’re not planning to sell or to let it out right now. Let’s talk about WHY…
Home improvements
First, we need to explain how our instant valuation tool works. It pulls local recent and historic data from various property websites such as Rightmove, Onthemarket, Google, etc. to make an estimate on the value. It considers what your home let for previously, how many rooms it has, the footprint of the property, and what similar homes in the area have let for recently.
What it CANNOT do, is know what updates, home/garden improvements, and design choices you’ve made which may raise the property value. This means the estimate may be below what you could realistically get for it if you took it to market now.
The local market
While the tool does pull local market data in the form of recently let or sold similar properties nearby, it won’t have the same level of understanding and experience in the current local market as an Estate Agent.
We’re out there every day, doing our research and letting/selling homes in the area. That gives us a much deeper knowledge of tenants looking for a home like yours, and we can ensure the property valuation is more accurate as a result.
Expertise
With decades of experience valuing properties, it’s become a honed skill for our agents.
Knowing the best price to come onto the market, what interest could be generated using our advanced marketing techniques, and understanding what tenants we currently have in our database want, means our agents can show you the absolute best price you could achieve.
If you want to let quickly or at a certain time of year, our agents can take this into account with pricing to achieve your goals at your own pace.
Outside influencing factors
Other factors do come into your property valuation. For example, we may want to consider:
· Local culture
· New shops/restaurants opening in the area
· Amenities buyers are currently looking for
· Local parking situations
· New transport links
This is important information which influences your final value but isn’t considered by our instant valuation tool.
