Contact:
Contact your chosen estate agent to arrange a professional and comprehensive valuation of the property. The estate agent will arrive at a realistic figure using a number of different factors including;
- Local Amenities – The Estate Agent will evaluate the desirability of the local area including the convenient of its amenities.
- Aesthetics and Original Touches – The Estate Agent will be looking at features of the property which are likely to add to its value such as recent decorative work and attractive additions such as conservatories and landscaping.
- Potential – The Estate Agent will have the necessary experience to weigh up the potential of the property with a view to this being used as a selling point.
This valuation will form the ‘asking price’ that the agent will then use when putting your home up for sale so you need to make sure that it tallies with the research that you’ve done and that you’re happy with the price.
