How is a prime property valued?
It is not enough to multiply the square metres by an average price for the area. We compare recent sales of genuinely similar properties and weigh position, floor, aspect, view, the condition of the systems, outdoor space, the quality of the building and the regularity of the paperwork. The outcome is a reasoned range, not a magic figure, and we always explain it in person, point by point.
Why is it wise not to start with too high a price?
In its first weeks a listing attracts the most attention, and a price out of line with the market wastes it: viewings dry up, the property looks stale and the owner ends up negotiating from a weaker position. A credible asking price, with reasonable room for negotiation, tends to bring serious buyers. Nobody can guarantee timing or outcome, but being consistent with the market helps.
Does your valuation replace a formal survey report?
No. Ours is a market valuation: a reasoned opinion on what a property could be sold or let for. For inheritances, divisions between heirs, disputes or a bank's requirements you need a formal survey report drawn up and signed by a qualified technician. When necessary we have one prepared by trusted professionals and coordinate it with the rest of the file.
