Computerised Instant Valuation


Automated property valuations use mathematical modelling combined with data. These tools calculate a property’s value at a specific point in time by analysing values of comparable properties, they also take into account current asking prices, previous surveyor valuations, historical house price movements and user inputs (e.g. number of bedrooms, property improvements, etc.).

This type of valuation provides basic details and gives you an approximate price in 60 seconds. It offers a valuation range depending on the condition of your home which is perfect if you're just curious about the value of property. These valuations are approximately 60-70% accurate.
