Valuation of Property

[~TT40~]

Ooo this is very handy to know. Im keen to see what ours is worth especially as we just got a new roof. I would have done the same and had the place spotless etc..

The guy who did our evaluation was pretty thorough. He had a look through all rooms in the house and did measurements etc.

I wouldn't paint or clear stuff out, unless you want to and the evaluation is a good excuse to get a lot of stuff up to date.

good luck

I had one bank value over the phone! Just called up and confirmed rooms etc.

It depends how old the house is, where it is, when it was last valued, what the expected value is and why it's being valued. Sometimes they'll do a modelled estimate (yours would have been Astrid) where they just look it up on government value sites and compare to recent sales in the area. Next step up is a kerbside valuation, next up is a full one where they go through the whole place.

I've always been a bit suss of some of our valuers, I don't believe many of them actually drive past let alone stop when they're supposed to do a kerbside, and some of the full ones are very brief.
