No charge and no obligation – whether you’re selling soon or just planning ahead
Honest advice
Straight-talking, realistic figures – not an inflated price to win your business
Any day
Appointments 7 days a week, including evenings, at a time that suits you
What does a valuation involve?
We’ll arrange a visit at a time that suits you. We’ll look around your property with you, talk through your plans and any questions you have, and take note of the features that will appeal to buyers.
We’ll then give you our view of your property’s value in the current market, along with expert advice on the property market, marketing, presentation, strategy and all other aspects of selling a property in your area.
The person who values your property is the person who will handle your sale – one point of contact, from valuation to completion.
Honest, realistic advice
We believe in straight talking, transparency and honesty. Our valuations are based on our knowledge of the local, regional and national property markets – so you get a realistic figure you can plan with, not one designed just to win your instruction.
We’re particularly experienced with period, rural, listed and unique homes, which can be harder to value – and where specialist marketing makes the biggest difference.
If you decide to sell with us, our typical sales fee is 1.2% including VAT (1% + VAT), all-inclusive, on a no-sale no-fee basis.
Where We Cover
Our office is in the beautiful spa town of Harrogate, North Yorkshire. From here, we handle property sales throughout Yorkshire, Cumbria and surrounding areas.
We can help with property sales from the Yorkshire Dales to the Lake District, Peak District, East Coast, and everywhere in between.
Good to know
A valuation, not a survey
Our valuations are estate agent market appraisals, for selling purposes. They aren’t RICS surveys – if you need a survey, we can put you in touch with a trusted local surveyor.
Need a probate valuation?
We also provide free, written probate valuations for executors, solicitors and administrators.
Already on the market?
If your property is already for sale with another agent, we’re happy to give you a free, no-obligation second opinion.
Frequently asked questions
Is the valuation really free?
Yes. There’s no charge and no obligation, whether you’re selling soon or just planning ahead. We’re always happy to help, and our clients tend to prefer our non-pushy approach.
Do I have to sell with you afterwards?
No – not at all. And if you do decide to sell with us, there’s no minimum contract period and no set-up or withdrawal fees: you only pay when your property is sold.
When can you visit?
At a time that suits you – we offer appointments 7 days a week, including evenings.
How long does a valuation take?
It depends on the property and how much you’d like to talk through – there’s no rush. We’ll look around with you, discuss your plans and answer any questions you have.
Do I need to prepare anything?
Nothing essential – but if you have them to hand, details of any recent work, guarantees or planning permissions can be useful.
Will you tell me what my home is really worth?
Yes. We carefully research the market and recent comparable sales, and combine that with our knowledge of the local, regional and national property markets – so you get an honest, realistic figure you can plan with, not an inflated price designed to win your instruction.
My property is unusual – can you still value it?
Certainly. We’re particularly experienced with period, rural, listed and unique homes, which can be harder to value – and where specialist marketing makes the biggest difference.
What would it cost to sell with you?
Our typical sales fee is 1.2% including VAT (1% + VAT), all-inclusive, on a no-sale no-fee basis. Photography, floorplans, aerial/drone photography and plot maps are all included as standard.
What happens after the valuation?
We’ll give you our view of your property’s value, along with our advice on marketing, presentation and strategy. We don’t pester clients after a valuation. You’re welcome to contact us at any time if you have any follow-up questions, or if you’d like to go ahead and market your property with us.
When you’re ready, we’d love to hear from you.
