Start with the decision you need to make
Wondering what your home could be worth, or preparing to put it on the market? These are different questions. Choosing the right starting point helps you avoid treating an initial estimate as a settled asking price.
Get your free online property valuation. Treat an automated estimate as an indicative starting point, rather than a guaranteed sale price or a formal lender, probate or tax valuation.
When an online estimate is useful
An online estimate can help you begin a conversation about your plans. Use it to organise your questions: are you simply curious, considering a move, or ready to discuss marketing?
Keep a note of the details you provide and anything that may need explaining separately. A changed layout, recent improvements or unusual features are useful subjects to raise with an agent. Avoid committing to an asking price solely because a screen displays a figure.
When to discuss an agent visit
If you are preparing to sell, ask about an in-person market appraisal. Discuss the property's condition, layout, outlook and competing homes, together with the evidence behind the suggested asking price.
For a flat, have your lease information, service charge documents and any parking details ready. Ask which comparable properties are relevant and why. This gives you a more useful discussion than simply comparing headline figures.
Contact Pacific Estates to discuss your property and the next step. Tell us your location, property type and whether you are exploring options or planning to market.

Your questions answered
Does an online estimate set my asking price?
No. Use it as a starting point and discuss the evidence and your property's individual features before deciding how to market.
Can I use it for a mortgage, probate or tax purpose?
Do not treat an automated estimate or marketing appraisal as a formal valuation for those purposes. Check what the relevant lender or professional adviser requires.
