Questions You May Wish To Ask At Your Valuation Appointment

Understanding the Valuation
The valuation is often the first thing on your mind, but it's important to delve deeper than just the number. Ask:
- "How did you arrive at this valuation?" A knowledgeable estate agent will be able to explain their reasoning clearly, referencing comparable properties in your local area that have recently sold. This demonstrates their great understanding of the local market.
- "What factors might influence the final selling price?" Beyond the initial valuation, there are always nuances. Understanding potential challenges or unique selling points will give you a more realistic picture.
- "What improvements, if any, would you recommend to enhance my home's appeal?" Sometimes, small changes can make a big difference. A good agent offers tailored advice, not just a figure.
The Agent's Approach and Experience
Choosing an estate agent is about more than just their valuation; it's about their approach, their team, and their commitment to you. Ask:
- "How do you market properties like mine?" This question helps you understand their strategy for reaching potential buyers. Look for a comprehensive plan that goes beyond just online listings.
- "What is your experience with properties in my specific neighbourhood?" Local-savvy is key. An agent with a deep understanding of your immediate area can provide better matches and more accurate advice. Our credibility comes from loyalty and word-of-mouth within the community we proudly serve.
- "Who will be my main point of contact, and how often can I expect updates?" Communication is paramount. You want to feel supported and informed throughout the process. As a small, cohesive team, we pride ourselves on fast responses and going the extra mile.
- "What makes your agency different from others?" This is where you'll hear about their unique selling propositions. We build our business on people, not pressure, and we don't chase targets. We focus on providing tailored advice and better matches.
Logistics and Support
The practicalities of selling your home are just as important as the initial valuation. Ask:
- "What is the typical timeline from listing to completion for properties like mine?" While every sale is unique, an experienced agent can give you a realistic expectation.
- "What support do you offer throughout the selling process, from viewings to legal completion?" You want an agent who will be with you every step of the way, offering guidance and support. We are known for quick decision-making and adaptability.
- "Are there any additional costs I should be aware of?" Transparency is vital. Ensure you understand all potential expenses upfront.
