How much is your property worth?

If you are thinking or selling or letting your property, a big factor in your decision making process is what your property is likely to achieve on the open market.  This can help determine the budget you have for your next move.

A quick look on sold prices and Rightmove’s Price Comparison report can give you an indication of the properties you are competing against.  Most of the records contain several photos and the property’s price history so you can judge how your home compares, both aesthetically and on price competitiveness.


The most accurate way to find out how much your property is worth is to invite local estate agents to your home to value your property.   They are local experts who know your target market and have in-depth knowledge of the property market in your area.


Estate Agents take into account a range of factors when valuing your property.  It is worth being aware of these as you can influence some of these factors.  Below are a list of some of the most common factors Estate Agents take into account when valuing a property:

  • Location – proximity to transport links or schools and desirability of area
  • Condition of Property
  • Presentation of Property
  • Comparable Properties
  • Local Market Trends
  • Buyer Demand  for your Property
  • Storage Space

  • During valuations Estate Agents can also give you tips on how you may want to improve the appeal and demand for your property so you can start preparing your property for market.  To find out how much your property is worth, use Rightmove’s Valuation Request tool to get local experts to value your home and start turning your dreams of moving into reality.
