Property Valuation
Deciding on an asking price
There’s no right or wrong when it comes to valuing how much a property is worth. If you were to get a number of opinions on value there is likely to be quite a variation; from the realistic to the optimistic and all points in-between. What agents give you is more a view on “marketing price” than a valuation and, as such, the numbers can be very different. When it comes to the best option for our clients, we aim to give you a range, an explanation and help so that you can decide on an asking price and the right strategy for you.
Our professional valuers have unrivalled local and market knowledge and our objective is to get the best possible price for you, and there are different ways of achieving this depending on your circumstance and the amount of activity in the property market. We are known for ensuring an effective and efficient process as well as providing exceptional customer service every time.
Getting Started
We are a team of talented and experienced individuals and we will support you and act as your representative and advisor.
Our aim is to represent your property as you would do yourself. The first thing we would do is visit your property and ask you questions, for example: Why did you choose to live here? Why this particular property? What do you like about the property and the area? The more we know about your property the better job we would do selling it.
We expect to spend in the region of 100 hours in total selling your property, there is a great deal of work behind the scenes which we explain below. Throughout the process we are acting as your representative and expert advisor, concentrating on getting the best price and a successful sale.
We would ask that you have a solicitor instructed as soon as possible so that we can be quick off the mark when a sale is agreed. We ensure absolute professionalism and have a panel of approved solicitors that we can recommend.
First Impressions Court: Showing Off Your Property
We’re all familiar with the tips about brewing coffee and baking fresh bread. Although you don’t need to go to quite those lengths, it does pay to present your property at its best. The more effort you put in, the better the sales price you stand to achieve.
We have our own photographer but can also instruct a professional photographer if you prefer. In addition, a floor plan will be designed reflecting the space and layout of your property.
It’s all about exposure as the majority of buyers start their journey online and our online exposure is unrivalled locally, with our properties advertised on Rightmove and Zoopla, attracting buyers from across the country.
In addition, we have a Facebook following of approximately 3000 and with regular content across the main social media channels, we offer exposure through these portals, targeting both active and passive buyers.
Viewings are like a first date – we highlight the most attractive features of your property. To help with this ensure you declutter, make sure lightbulbs work, tidy your wardrobes (people will open them), plant bright flowers in the window boxes and hide the dustbins. It’s more about effort than expenditure but it never does any harm to critique your property through the eyes of others.
