The benefits of an in-person property valuation

Whether you’re actively planning to put your house on the market, are curious about what your home may be worth, or are simply considering your options, instant online valuations from property websites provide a great starting point. You enter your address and details about your property, then receive an immediate estimate of what your home could be worth. It’s quick, easy, and you can do it any time of the day or night at a time convenient to you. 

How do instant online valuations work?

Instant valuation tools combine public data from land registries, Ordnance Survey, and Royal Mail on the age, size, and style of your property. It then combines this with available information on what your property is known to have sold for and the market value of surrounding buildings to generate an estimate of what your home could be worth. 

An instant online valuation cannot see the condition of your home, the décor and improvements made, or any extensions and renovations you’ve made to the property. It also doesn’t factor in real-time demand from buyers in the local area.

In short, instant online valuations are no substitute for an in-person valuation done by a knowledgeable local estate agent. An estate agent will have the expertise of the local area, the most up-to-date market knowledge, and, most importantly: they will see your property, inside and out. They will be able to assess its kerb appeal, they’ll be able to see the condition, layout and décor, and will be able to give you an accurate valuation based on all these factors.
