    Expert Market Appraisals
    image cannot be displayed


    Start Your Journey with a Free, Accurate Market Appraisal

    Understanding your home's true value is the first step toward planning a successful move. At Hern & Crabtree, we provide detailed and accurate market appraisals that give you the clarity you need to make informed decisions.

    After all, the value of your property plays a key role in shaping your next steps-whether it's choosing your next home or deciding if now is the right time to sell.

    Why an Accurate Appraisal Matters
    Your asking price isn't just a number; it sets the tone for your property's market response. That's why our expert appraisals consider every important factor, ensuring your home stands out and attracts the right buyers.

    Here's what we take into account:

    • The local property market: How buoyant is it right now?
    • Your home's location, condition, and unique features
    • Current demand: How many buyers are looking for properties like yours?
    • Recent sales data: What price and speed have similar properties sold for?
    • Market competition: How does your property compare to others currently listed?
    • Your priorities: Are you seeking a quick sale, or do you have time to wait for the best offer?

    What Happens After Your Appraisal?
    Once we've thoroughly evaluated your property, we'll provide you with a recommended asking price in writing. This price reflects our professional opinion of your home's true value, based on data and market insights.

    We'll always be upfront and transparent-no inflated estimates to win your business. Unrealistic pricing can reduce buyer interest, delay your sale, and lead to unnecessary price reductions. Our goal is to position your property for maximum success, right from the start.

    A Tailored Marketing Strategy for Your Home
    Alongside your valuation, we'll outline a customised marketing plan. This includes:

    • Where your property will be featured
    • How we'll organise and conduct viewings
    • The ways we'll communicate with you and potential buyers

    Our aim is simple: to help you find the perfect buyer at the right price while making the process as seamless and stress-free as possible.

    Ready to Get Started?
    There's no risk-our market appraisals are completely free and come with no strings attached. Contact Hern & Crabtree today to schedule your appraisal and take the first step toward your next move.

    Losing a loved one is hard

    We understand that the last thing anyone should have during a difficult time is needless hassle and unwanted problems when settling the estate, so we do all we can to help our clients by being as helpful and efficient as possible.

    • Arranging the valuation, sale and/or disposal of cars associated.
    • Advice and recommendation to enhance eventual selling figure of property.
    • Assisting with garden tidy ups and ongoing maintenance .

    We are trusted as a thorough and knowledgeable agent who act with care, sensitivity and efficiency - from the initial report to ensuring the smoothness of the entire process from valuation to completion.

    When instructed we always feel entrusted, even more so when acting in sad circumstances such as the passing of a close relative. We do everything possible to solve any problems we can, act professionally and with sensitively, and add value wherever possible.

    If you have a property that you are considering selling or renting and would like our advice, please get in touch today.

    HOW OUR TEAM CAN HELP YOU
    image cannot be displayed

    APPLICANT MATCHING
    As an agent with a large market share, we naturally have a vast database of buyers. When your property is listed with us, one of the first things we do is match it to our extensive list. Often this will equal, if not surpass, the number of online enquiries for your property. Therefore, we are able to generate more viewings than a solely online agent.

    PROFESSIONAL FLOOR PLANS
    These allow potential buyers to visualise the layout of your home, which in turn generates increased interest and viewings.

    SOCIAL MEDIA
    The modern world is ever-changing. As a forward-thinking agency, we utilise the most up-to-date and relevant communication channels. Social media is a vital marketing tool for your property with no bounds to its audience potential. We post coming-soon "teasers" across our platforms and run ad campaigns on properties to reach wider audiences.
