Last year, we monitored our data for the postcode BN16 1 - we achieved 99.5% of our asking prices, on average. A big part of this is because we’ve really honed our valuation procedure, backed up by stacks of research.

your property is on the market in competition not in isolation!

We consider the pros and cons of your property against other similarly priced properties, (sold and unsold) and how well they are selling. We look at the maximum price your home could achieve if perfect, and the costs required to update it if not. We look at your competition and how that compares, we look through a buyer’s eyes and the research they do on all the properties they may view in your price range. We look at supply, demand, past sales and how the market is moving. And finally we think about how the price will be best represented on rightmove.co.uk and onthemarket.com. Having taken all this into account, using our more than 25 years’ experience, we discuss with you our recommended selling price to achieve its true market value – and you ALWAYS have the final say.

Our job is to tell you what you need to hear not what you want to hear. It’s so easy for a poor agent to overvalue to win business but this will end up with less interest the property will go stale the price drops and you end up with a lower selling price compared to if it came to market at the right price.

to us valuing a property is a science not ‘guesswork and add a bit’!
